Hedgehogs need better ventilation than an aquarium can offer. In my personal opion the large my first pet home cage is too small, the cage I have for my hegdgehog is 11 inches longer than that one and I feel as though there is barely enough room. I have I believe six fleece liners and I would...

I meant to add what do you use?

(I tried searching for a thread with this as a topic, sorry if it already exists)I just purchased a carolina storm wheel, which was a very hard decsion. I regret not doing to from the start, since I live in Canada shipping doubled the price. And I don't know if she would make the switch from her...

Just wanted to say we had a really good night tonight. She let me touch her tummy and feet with minor huffles before she stuck up her quills and crouched down to protect herself. It's a step in the right direction (not sure why tonight was suddenly good, maybe it was my attitude). Thanks!

If you didnt live in Michigan I'd pay you to do it...maybe I can send her through FedEx... I'M ONLY JOKING!!!! thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it

I'll be more persistant/ consistant with playing with her feet. I will admit I don't do it enough. I love her to bits, but I do get discurged sometimes. I'm only human and a first time hedgie owner. I spent hours every night doing research, but nothing truly prepares you for one till you have...

That makes perfect sense, thanks for your input, I definetly will not be buying it. If we cut them when she is in the water she will try curling up in a ball, and obviously that is not ok. It takes two of us, one to hold her the other to grab a foot and snip. I have decided I might be part of...

Thankyou for your reply, The reson I was looking at this kind of wheel is for the nail trimming aspect. I would only leave the sand paper part on for a night when her nails get long. She currently has one of those saucer wheels http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3155602 which I...

They don't like water bottles typically, it's all about using a bowl. Mine HATES water but has no problem stepping in her dish to drink

(To get all the details on this wheel unortunately you need to look at both links) Anybody use this wheel for their hedgie? Do they even fit? If you haven't used it do you think it will work for a hedgie. In the second link it mentions hedgehogs and large rats (I'm assuming it will be bigger...

I've had mine since September, she hates me. Everything is a battle except feeding from syringes (which she doesn't always want but her pushing back can be helpful) She will sleep on my lap with the quills down until I move and than I get huffed and popped at. I think it's just her personality...

Please share where you got odometers for the wheel, I have have been wanting to track how long she is awake for/ how much she runs for quite awhile. Mine weighs in the 600 grams range, the vet informed me she was obese. As owning her is the first time I have ever seen a hedgehog in person I have...

So I recently had a sick little girl (Skittles), after a couple kinds of anti biotics and a pain killer she is back to her normal grumpy self. While at the vet she told me to stop using the fleece liners for a bit because she noticed Skittles had blood in her urine. The liners were hiding this...

I gave mine a little soft dog toy that was the same size as her when she was a baby. She had it from day one and I think she really enjoyed having the company because she missed her siblings and mom. Maybe he is just homesick?

I though there was a search function to find older posts? I haven't been on here in quite awhile and I'm not sure if I'm just not seeing something right in front of me. Sorry if this is a repeat. My little girl is a little over six months old and quite the character and attitude (reminds me...
