I just got on here to ask a similar question. I find myself unable to care for my hedgehog properly because I'm so reluctant to handle him. Everywhere his quills poke me I am covered in thick swollen red patches of hives that last for days. My husband got these giant thick laboratory gloves I...

Just wanted to follow up on my question...I switched him from innova to Evo and in one feeding his poops were back to normal! I guess he just couldn't handle the innova formula.

Well I switched Percy from Vita-Exotics hedgehog food, which I know is terrible for him, to Innova reduced fat cat food. I feed my dogs Innova, so I thought it would be a good choice. I know it's high quality food. Anyway, it gives him diarrhea. I tried mixing the old food with the new stuff...

This is such a dumb thread...but I'm so proud of myself because I trimmed Percy's nails for the first time :) That was scary and I got poked a whole lot, but...they're done! A couple on the back were super long. I bet he'll be feeling better without those!

He's whiter when his quills are down...I'll try to get a picture of that :). He's a great little buddy.

Just wondering what color he's considered. This is Percy, according to my 4 year old daughter he's a platypus...or sometimes a porcupine :) As you can see he's pretty prickly.

Wow, how do you put an odometer on a wheel? I want to do that! He "runs" so much (although kind of putts along) I'd love to know how much. As for coloring...I really don't know what exactly you'd call him. Very...average looking hedgehog, he basically looks just like every other brownish...

I am the third (or so) owner of a hedgehog named Percy. I have no idea how old he is. I've had him for a few months now. He is very hissy but I'm not timid to pick him up and move him around. I take him out regularly and let him roam around the house...since he doesn't move very fast I don't...

Hi guys, I've had my little hedgehog Percy for a few months now, trying out different things trying to figure out what works best. I guess I'm at least his third owner...and definitely his last :)
