Okayy! After two months i finally got my new baby hedgie, Narwhal. He's a skittish little sweety, and he's a real pretty pinto. I got him from a breeder, who was a bit pricey but he's worth it. Now I have a few comments, concerns, braggings and just talking about his cage and stuff, to see if it is right. : )
Okay, so his cage is a SuperPet rabbit/guinea pig cage resting on a 3 1/2 shelf. : D He has aspen shavings, (the good kind. I forget what they're called!DX i knoww its the good type, that wont cause health issues.) They're wood shavings. : D
He has a bottle and water dish, with the breeders hedgehog food and gets 2-3 meal worms everyday. He has a thermometer in his room and the temp ranges from 70-76 degrees. The breeder said it was okay if the LOWEST was 70. But I'm looking in another heating option... I've been worrying and nervous and just so upset and uncomfortable with my room temp. I'm constantly checking it every other hour, but I don't wanna annoy my hedgie by coming in and out to check the temp. :c Anything to suggest about heating and to keep my from worrying so mmuch?
Also, this is his first day at my home. Should he still be a little skittish, not playing with his toys(hes 7 weeks old) and hasn't taken an inteerst to his wheel yet? Should I give him time? I'm a little confused and, yet again, worried. He's sleeping right now, but it's nighttime, he was up an hour ago..is this normal?
Again, with stable heat...what do you guys use? I'm looking for something to just heat Narwhal's cage..and not really the whole room..but I can put up with it, my mom just doesn't like the whole house being so warm..
He always LOVES mealworms, and I wanna bribe him into him letting he hold him a bit more with some fruits and vegatables. What are some same ones for him to nibble on? How many mealworms should he eat a day?
I might've forgotten a few things to add, but THANK you SO SO SOOO much for reading and please help me calm down a bit.
