"flopping" hedgehog

[ilikefire12]

I don't know if this is normal, or if I should be worried about this.

I've seen Cobalt "flop" over on his side, roll up into a ball, and then it looks like he rocks himself back and forth. However, I've only seen him do this twice. Is there something wrong with him?

Nope, nothing wrong. He'es a boy having boy time. :hilarious:

I was wondering that too! Mel was doing that while in my hand, but I couldnt figure out what he was doing. haha

 

[Adhafera]

Boys will be boys! hahaha

Wow!
Your boys are pretty public about that. I never see anything but the...er... remains.

Mika does this too... But I'm pretty sure she's a girl?! I thought maybe she's just grooming or something? Like I said I'm PRETTY sure she's a girl... Can someone maybe point me in the direction of a boy vs girl pic so I can make sure? lolol sorry... I've been wondering a little bit.

K so I found this pic:

Mika does not have that belly-button looking thing that I'm assuming is a hedgehog boy-part. She has the one on the right lol. Maybe she grooms? I swear I've caught her trying to eat her lunch twice :wacko:

Umm... I've never seen that before - I'm guessing my Squee is acutally a girl! I feel like a horrible hedge-mommy. Lol, I adopted Squee almost a month ago and was told he was a boy (nip)... but we changed him to little Squee when he moved in. So Boys have their "thingy" in the middle and girls have their "thingy" close to the tail? Ooops. Hahaha

 

[EyeSack]

ROFL! Maybe name her/him Roo Paul!

Oh so Squee is definalty a boy.. got a better peek at the goods. Lol.. Now some of you said yours are pretty public - and others have said they only find the 'remains'... I've never seen this.. or noticed any remains.. lol is my little boy just really well behaved or...?

 

[smhufflepuff]

lol is my little boy just really well behaved or...?

...just young? If he's just a little fellow, a possibility is he may need a little more time to mature into such behaviors.

Hahaha not that i'm excited for it or anything - but he's 2 years old.
