Hi All,
It is never too early to think about Christmas (I am sure most of you just growned)! I have had my hedgie for 2 months now and he is great. Lately, my boyfriend and I have been discussing our plans for Christmas (who we will be spending what time with). Over the span of two weeks would it be alright to remove hedgie from our home, to my moms house for a few nights and then to my boyfriends parents house for around 12 days. Neither of the new places have pets to be concerned about. I will be bringing his entire set up with me (along with some "dirty" fleece for scent) because it is such a long stay and I will likely bring a 4L jug of home water with us to make him feel comfortable. My mother will be driving to my apartment to pick me up so the car will already be warm. My concern is the few minutes hedgie will be out of the house but not yet in the car. The winter here is easily -25 degrees (That's -13 degrees Fahrenheit). I will be traveling with him in a carrier but would it be okay for me to place him under my shirt (with is under a sweater, which is under a heavy jacket... I'm not a fan of the cold and I layer like crazy) wrapped in his hedies blanket in his hedgie bag just from the house to the car so we can share body heat or should I keep him in the carrier with a heat pad or hot water bottle while bringing him from the house to the car? Over the span of 2 weeks we will be going from the house to the car (and vice verse) 4 times and I do not want my hedgie to get cold. I am trying to eliminate the possibility of him getting cold during this time.
I know it is an early though but we are trying to prepare for these things because financially it is easier to buy an item for this process now than it will be around Christmas. Does anyone have experience with this?
