Hello from Malaysia!
I brought home 2 hedgies about 2 weeks ago and I have to thank this forum for saving me from panicking more than I should over the different scenarios that have happened since. It has been extremely helpful
I have a question that I haven't found an answer to yet:
I've noticed at least 1 of them quite often curling into a ball with his quills all up, jerking his body a little here and there when he sleeps. At other times, he acts normal, not timid at all - he seems to have adjusted quite well with his other pal in their new home. And then I spot a couple of mosquitoes flying around and wondered, is it possible that he was protecting himself from being attacked by those darn insects? He has a much darker color than his pal, could that be why only he's balling up like that?
I'm so curious...I hope to hear back from someone.
Thanks
