I just got a baby hedgehog(my first so I'm paranoid) and he seems to be acting normal, but when he runs on his wheel at night and pees it smells so bad I sometimes have to go sleep on the couch! It makes me nauseous. He doesn't seem to be drinking much and I though he could be dehydrated. I keep clear flavorless Pedialyte because we give it to the dogs if they are dehydrated and I have a finicky frog that's has to soak in it. I figure since it's safe for everything else it should be but I wanted to make sure and was wondering maybe how much to use?

He drinks out of a bowl I'm not sure what it holds ill measure it when I get home. I'm at work right now.
He was on evolve but no where close to me sells it so I'm switching him to the chicken favored Simply Nourish cat food that's the brand our dogs eat and it's all natural so I thought it should be good. He eats it better then the other kind but I've been switching it slow anyway for his tummy. As far as treats two mealworms is all I've got him to eat. I made him chicken w/O seasoning and cooked carrots but he didn't eat either. He is quite grumpy and doesn't like me much yet. I put him on fleece in my lap in the evening and play video games or watch tv and he will eventually in curl and crawl around but if I touch him or move he goes back in the ball Maybe he is stressed idk if that could affect it either.

Well it does seem dark to me. I'll try to measure the water he is drinking but sometime it looks like he has spilt it as well.
Sorry to keep asking question but not sure would I need to dilute the Pedialyte? And would I mix it in his water, give it in a bowl, or try to use a syringe? He hasn't
really warmed up to me yet idk if I could give it with a syringe.

Okay thank you both
I'm sure he won't let me get to his skin yet I'm lucky hi he will walk on my hand or arm, but I'll try watermelon and the Pedialyte.
