We just got our first hedgie on July 25 from Dani(LOL Hedgies) and he is SOOOO sweet! We're totally in love with him! :mrgreen:

He's a beautiful little cinnacot boy that we've named Neeko. :D

Here's a couple pics I've taken so far:

The day after we got him


"Is it safe to come out?"


Such a beautiful boy!


And here are some I took the other day

Poopy feet bath


Drying his tootsies


Sweet little boy(he was a wee upset cause I'd just had to dump him out of his wheel so I could clean it, lol)


I have him in a temporary set-up until I can either get a cage from my friend(she said she has a big one I can have) or I build him a better one. Here are some pics of his current set-up(it's got toys now and a PVC ramp instead of the one in the pic):







He's got a food mix of 50% Friskie's Indoor, 25% Royal canin Indoor Intese Hariball 34, and, temporarily(since he's still growing and, I assume, needs a little extra protein), Purina Kitten Chow, which will be changed to CSKLS(Senior) once he's a little older. He gets treats of mealies, darkling beetles(the mealie beetles), and superworms. He also gets some veggies every once in a while when I let him snack of the veggies from my sugar gliders' dinners, lol.

Hopefully I'm doing everything right. If not, please let me know!

I'll be saving up for the CCS wheel as well. ;) Hopefully I can get it some time in this millennium. :lol:

Oh yeah, I forgot to ask...do you guys have any tips on litterbox training?

OMG he's so cute!
Nice setup too, I like how you added the second level to the bin, but your gonna want to add sides to the ramp so he doesn't fall off and hurt himself. And you should probably check out Reaper's dry cat food list under diet and nutrition it is very informative and was a huge help to me. Welcome to hedgehog Central! and to the world of hedgehogs, I've had mine for two weeks and I just love him :D
