Ok People know me as a sweet heart who can't turn down an animal in need of a home and today around lunch a hedgehog was dropped off to me.
It, (to shy to let me check if it's male of female yet) seemed to be on kibbles and bits, or a variant thereof.... So I immediately went out and bought hedgehog food. I compared cat and hedgehog food and found to many differences for me to be comfortable feeding something made for one species of animal to a completly different species.
Plus I feed my cats top quality (from a vet) cat food and so the protein and fat seem to be much to high for the hedgie. I am slowly switching him/her over with what little orignal food I have.
ANYWAY
This hedgie lives in a large tupperware tote and has all it's life with newspaper as litter It has a bucket wheel that to me seems to small. and it's head spikes seem to have a oily dandruff on them
anyone want to give me a run down on a basic day or week with their hedgie
starting with when they wake up and go over to your hedige until you leave your hedgie to go to sleep?
Baths....
interaction...
how to hold....
treats...

cleaning the cage...
bedding to sleep in...
toys....
what's this huffing hiss I hear?
