I got this hedgehog from someone and he has white bumps on him. Like large zits or something. I could not find anything online that looked anything like it, including on this site. I do not know how old he is. He was not handled well and was not fed well. All he eats is cat food. That's all he was ever fed so he will not touch anything else. I try to handle him often and I do bathe him. The bumps do not seem to bother him much. The largest one is squishy and on his side near his quills. The smaller ones are hard. One by his tail and a couple on his upper back end near his quills. None actually under any quills or past the quills. I have not tried to pop them in fear of hurting him. I'll also include a picture of him.

The cat food is Purina brand. He eats whatever kind of cat food, but just cat food. Wont touch bugs or veggies. He was kept in a wire cage in a barn. I have him in a tank now with a heat lamp. I decided on a tank to keep the heat in. Along with a hide and some fleece. I did do some more searching on this site now that I am a member and I can see everything and I found a post that had something that looked like this. The update was that the vet said it was an oil build up and the last update was that she squeezed it and it was a zit.

I have had him for about a year.

Purina complete and Purina Gentle is what he has had. Right now he has the Gentle. I just set up the tank so It's not at a "complete" temp yet. it is very good sized though and the heat lamp is only on one side.
