Freeze dried bugs are not a good idea as the freeze drying removes something that is needed to help digest them. They can cause impaction. Glad she is back to normal. :)

Lots of places sell the grids including Walmart. Make sure you get the ones that have 9 openings across. Less than that and the openings are big enough for hedgie to get through. Hedgehogs need to have a lid and the easiest way to make a lid is with wire closet shelving cut to fit a...

As Melissa has said, canned unseasoned pumpkin works well. If need be, syringe it to her. :)

If I remember correctly, fleece dulls the blades really quickly but don't quote me on that because I haven't used my serger in a long time.

That is adorable! I want one too.

During winter and dark days the rest of the year, there needs to be a light on to simulate 12-14 hour days. Usually 7ish am to 9ish pm works well but an hour either way makes no difference. With short winter days, they need to have adequate light during the day. They must have darkness at...

He is adorable. :)

Aww, that's cute. When mine do that, I can't resist tickling toes. :hilarious:

What a wonderful picture. :)

I'm glad she is eating again and wheeling and all those normal hedgehog things. We pray the Piroxicam will slow or halt the tumour growth. She is a wonderful gal and deserves lots more time with you.

Ah, that is probably why he is tearing up his cage. Once he gets a wheel, that will probably stop. :)

Haha. Sounds like he has fun at night. :hilarious: What does he do with his wheel?

OH NO!!! Not another lump. Poor Rose. Hopefully the new meds will give her some quality time. Hugs to you both.

Being a baby and in a new home is most likely the reason he is doing it. He should get out of it as he gets comfortable in his new home and gets a bit older. His poop might also be softer and mushier from the change in home but like smhufflepuff says, if it is an odd colour or smell or...

Hmmm, can't remember. I think it was metacam that a couple were on. I no longer have their records on the computer so will have to do some searching. Most of the tumours here have been upper and into the roofs of their mouth or bulging the eye when discovered.

Leave her in the new bedding, especially since she has had sneezing issues with the old. A warm oatmeal bath every couple of days will help ease her sore skin. You don't actually need to put her in the water, but can pour it over her. Many hedgehogs stress big time at baths but standing on a...

NO NO NO NO. Not Satin. My heart sank to read this. Having been through way too many oral tumours I'm scared for you both. If there can be a good part to this, it is that it is the lower jaw which I have found tend to be a bit slower growing. Poor beautiful girl Hugs to all of you.

Are her sneezes increasing in frequency? If so, she needs a vet. By the time a hedgehog shows symptoms of illness, they are very sick and often past the point of curing. Can you post a video of the sneezing so we can tell you if it is sneezing or normal hedgie noises.

Last evening I found by beautiful big man Yuri had passed away sometime during the day. It was very sudden and was a shock. He was fine in the morning and I had him out talking to him and told him it was bath night tonight. As is typical with Yuri's bath night, I left him for last. We...

Thistle was such a beautiful girl and you and she were such good friends. I'm sorry she lost her battle. RIP beautiful little girl.
