Hi, My names rebecca and im from Canada! I just bought a new hedgehog and i have a few concerns about her.
Firstly. I need to know what her skin should look like underneath her quills. im not sure if it is dry, Secondly i have had her for about 5 days...she seems quite comfortable with me already, I am concerned about her stool.
The first day we had her she had mucusy green poop, which is a sign of bile? but i read that it is a sign of stress or a food change.
The next 2 days i have noticed a very small amount of blood in her stool.. Which could also represent constipation? She has had very frequent stools since and no traces of blood are to be found..
I also want to know what is suitable for dry skin on the hedgehog and what bedding is preffered, Right now i am using white pine bedding and feeding her sunseed sunscription vita hedgehog formula as well as some mealworms for treats.
Thank you for your help
