Hi guys. Mika has been really itchy lately, I think she's still doing the baby quilling, since she's losing a lot of quills but is growing bigger ones in. I've noticed for a while sometimes I hear her making a "bup bup bup bup" noise, so I set up a light and a camera to try and figure out what she's doing.

Do hedgehogs ever have seizures?! I don't think that's what it is, because she stops every time I've tried to catch her bumping around. Anyway, here's a link to the video.
The bumping is closer to the end of the video. Maybe she has hiccups? Not sure what it is, but if anyone could lend a hand I'd like to know!

Haha that's good to know that it's normal! It's been jeez... 7 years since my last baby, so I must have forgotten about it lol.

Turns out Mika has mites :O. Dr. Goode gave her a shot of Ivermectin which she said also kills lung worms but she didn't think that was a problem for Mika. Uggghhhh I think I have to ask my parents for some scratch. Didn't realize a 44 dollar visit could turn into a 100 dollar visit =(. She has to go back in 2 weeks too...
Hey :) i seen your other utube video and was wondering did the vet look at the bump on her chin?
