Have you tried putting the mealies in his cage with him at night yet? Sometimes they are a bit shy at first and won't take them from you. But if left in their cage, they will try and get "a taste" for them.

I absolutely love it. Welcome to the frustrating world of clean hedgehogs ;). Time to get an odometer!

Just continue to spend time with him. If you aren't already put him on a schedule. Hedgehogs do really well when they know when to expect things to happen. He's only been with you a couple of days, it can take some a while to settle down fully. Keep in mind he is still trying to figure out...

This is a really tough question. The answer is there is really no way of knowing unless you had a necropsy done. Stopping eating, lethargy, and weakness can be from temperature, light, or just from him being sick. Hedgehogs are amazing at hiding illness, and quite often by the time we notice...

Get well Buddy.

I'm going with Algerian chocolate pinto. She's looking great.

Generally ferret food is considered to be too high in fat and too high in protein for hedgehogs. Hedgehogs need a protein that is under 35% and a fat that is under 15%. Which ferret foods is she eating? Are you planning to keep her or looking to adopt her back out?

Well hello there Izzy. Aren't you a pretty girl.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Thanks. I'm pretty proud of him. He has come a long way already. And I still have high hopes that he may one day learn he can relax. He actually ate apple last time. I've been offering him apple every time I give it to the girls, and after 4 months, he finally tried it and ate every piece I...

No advice. Just wanted to say hang in there and our quills are crossed here for a positive morning update.

Thought I would update this. If you have read the for smhufflepuff from tylda thread you will know that Ollie has been improving over the last few months. He is still very defensive, and can be a challenge to work with. But he is learning that some things are ok, and he has quite a funny...

Friends, I don’t know what I’m going to do with this human. You see, mom has done it again. She brought yet another hedgehog into our home! Anyway, mom says she's staying and I cannot try to make her go away, so I guess I will introduce her to you all. Her name is Penelope. Mom says she...

Box, bowl whatever they are in, yep out of site. Their little noses will quickly find a bowl full of these yummies.

Well. I'm once again in the market for a new carrier and again started thinking, is there anything new and interesting out there? I started looking for something that could be divided. I can find soft sided carrier that have a divider down the middle so you can travel two small dogs/cats...

What about bread? Would she eat it if it was squirted on some bread? Maybe even wrap it in a little of the meat? May not be the best way to give, but just throwing out an idea.

She looks better to me and looks like she's a pretty happy girl despite her poor quill coat.

Yeh, but I don't know if the quill stumps left behind just fell out or what, but they grew back. Oh and I'm positive that is just a trait of albinos. Its the "must camouflage self" trait. the one I had was determined to be a rare orange spotted hedgehog.
