Okay, yesterday night into this morning i was really bummed about not having a hedgie. But i soon got an email from a breeder saying that she has a hedgie BABY avaible in 4 weeks or so. . I am soo happy. i emailed the girl a few times (yes i am a bit excited). I asked her if they are healthy (Which they are probably because she breed them and she is a vet major in college. I also asked if the transaction is definate so i won't be disappointed.
I am slightly disappointed in having to wait 4 weeks (or so) but it will be better so that a.) i can aquire a baby instead of a 1 and a half year old b.) i can do better prep for him/her and do more research since I am new to hedgies...
A few questions for you:
a.) In general is what is better in health wize male or female?
Do females have pms/monthlys?
(If i do get female her name is going to be Bella if its a boy not sure but i'm thinking somewhere between gizmo or gonzo. i'll take any suggestions)
b.) What to expect with a baby hedgie? (of course the age limit where it can leave mommy of course).
c.) I will be getting this baby hedgie from a town in MA which is 3.5 hours away, what kind of carrier should i get? i do have a cat carrier with holes on the side and top. What do i put in it for warmth? I do have heat warmers that get up to 126 - 144 degrees. Should i use this for a baby hedgie or will it get too warm if i put it under blankets?
Since i am getting this hedgie in 4 weeks any help will be appreciated via this website and email [email protected] if you are prefering to email me please put Hedgie in the subject line as all unknown emails will be deleted.
Thanks for your help.
