Talk about poop I need a hand HELP

Re: Talk about poop I need a hand HELp

What brand of food do you have her on right now? How long have you had her on the food? If there was a switch(sorry, couldn't tell with your post), did you switch the food slowly?

You can try giving her some canned unseasoned pumpkin. Mine usually eats about a teaspoon, and he likes it warm, and a bit drier. Also, to keep the pumpkin from spoiling, I scooped them into ice cubes and froze them, so I have pumpkin available at all times, and defrost as needed.

Also, if she's having a tough time pooping, putting her into a shallow tub of warm water(test with your wrist first!). The warm water usually stimulates them to poop, mine always poops during bath time.

A vet would be best, since this has been going on for a month. Where abouts are you located? Perhaps someone who lives near you can give you a list of vets that might be available.

Green sticky or slimey moucousy stool can mean an irritated gi system or it often indicates an infection. If this type of poop happens once and appetite and activity is normal, it is probably nothing serious especially if there has been a recent food/treat/water change or something different in the hedgehogs life, like visiting new people etc. If dark green sticky or slimey mucous happens more than once especially if accompanied by loss of appetite and decreased activity, a vet visit is needed asap.

Please let someone know your area, even state/province/country/general area, etc, so suggestions of vet can be made.
