Sadly, babies at that age do not usually survive when being hand reared. Sometimes there is no replacement for a mother. RIP little one.

Mary, it is so good to hear she is doing well. It sounds like the ordeal was indeed quite difficult and a scary one.

http://hedgehogclub.com/index.html There is a link on the right for how to join there. The newsletter is currently published bi-monthly. It is a 12-page newsletter containing articles of interest to hedgehog caretakers. There are a couple of sample issues on the website currently for you to view.

If you are a member of the IHA, check the March/April 2011 newsletter. I did an article for the fleece tubes with images for the step by step. They are simple. But there is an image that I think shows how they are made pretty well.

I make them. Its an oatmeal container covered in fleece. The girls love them. Ollie doesn't care for it, but I think he just doesn't know what it is yet. Tylda's quilling thankfully was over before she made the big trip from Colorado to Michigan. But I do believe she had a hard time of it...

I would say Algerian Grey Pinto at this point, but you are supposed to wait until 9 weeks to tell for certain. I'd say send a picture to our one of our wonderful IHA judges and ask after her 9 week birthday to confirm. She is stunning. I'm no expert on quilling, as most of my kids have been...

The bill itself has issues, and I've said for a long time I have mixed feelings about it. While it will legalize some animals, it isn't the best written bill. Its been through a couple of changes, we'll see if they continue to change and hopefully improve it.

Waiting sometimes isn't such a bad thing either, you get a chance to research, plan, allow time to decide if you really want to do this, and decide is now the right time? Or will a few years from now be better? Chinchillas live a very long time, so its a long term commitment to make. I know...

I'm by no means an expert, but reading through this I wonder if their problem is the bill does not mention anything about reptiles (unless I missed it), whether they are in the excluded or included categories. Which to me means that it leaves the bill to interpretation and because they are not...

We have movement again. Its been re-referred to appropriations as of 5/21/12....

Good luck!

*Points at the Chin Wanted section*. You may want to try posting a want ad in our Chins wanted section. You are very likely to get a reply from someone in the area, or from someone who knows someone in your area. It would be where I would start.

She looks pretty happy still to me. Being in bed seems like a pretty happy place to snuggle with her mom too.

It isn’t uncommon for a hedgehog to be less friendly when they have had their routine broken. I’ve had many who even if I missed 1 night of cuddle time, they were upset with me for a day or two later. They really are creatures of habit and dislike that routine being broken. I don’t think the...

Renee, Don't let your old co-worker get you down. I've been in your spot too many times. Hedgehogs are highly prone to cancers, they are almost always terminal. You love them while they are here, you watch for signs that it is time to go and then you help them peacefully pass. For me so...

Well tonight she got it in her head that she was going to take images of Tula. Tula is quiet, she also is very adamant that she should be in a snuggle bag and not out exposed. She says that she’s tiny and hiding is good. So mom tried to get some images. Tula wouldn’t hold still long, but see...

Ok I stole the computer back from mom. Here I was laying in my cage watching her hold him. Then she saw me in all my cuteness and took the first image I'm attaching below of me. I was certain she was done with him so kept looking back at her and being cute. Then she went to finish stealing...

Lilly: Sunshine factor is a nutritional supplement that I'm trying out. Others have used it, but I haven't and thought Ollie's skin and quill issues may benefit from it. It is still too early for me to give an opinion on how well it works yet. We are only 3 weeks into its usage...

Yep, he's a rescue. His previous owner gave him to me because Ollie has always been a very defensive hedgehog. He was hoping that I could help break through to him. The fact that there is an image with even part of his face in it is wonderful. When he came here he wouldn't uncurl and...

Have you checked out the Hedgehog Breeder Alliance listing? http://hedgehogbreederalliance.org/texas.htm You may have trouble finding a dark-eyed white. A lot of the whites are harder to come by. They are out there though. Pintos are pretty common nowadays. So finding one of those...
