    Nasty

    Changing his food may be what upset his tummy so badly. Be patient with him. Start from scratch - hold him quietly under blankets, speak quietly, don't stroke his back while he is quilling. Keep his food the same for a while (assuming you have him on something good). Is he eating normally...

    mites

    Revolution is the only way to go (make sure she doesn't get an ivermectin shot). She'll also need to clean their cages really well, wash everything with really hot water and throw away bedding that cannot be cleaned.

    Decorah Eagles cam

    Yup - loving it! Last year I watched the Canadian Geese. Every year I pick a different animal.

    A new lump

    Hugs to you both! Hopefully she stays comfortable for quite a while longer to spend some more time with her mom.

    Tornado?

    Don't worry if he doesn't jump on the wheel right away. Some need to get used to its smell and figure out that it is theirs before they'll touch it. I find it helps to lift them onto the wheel once or twice in the evening (ideally once they are already up). Next thing you know you'll wake up...

    Red Sores on Snout

    Lots of good, warming thoughts coming from our quilled family too. I don't think it ever gets easier, being responsible for a life and the end of that life is a very, very difficult thing. Hopefully your vet can help with some advice. No matter what happens, Thistle knows she is loved. And...

    Post-Surgery Difficulty Walking

    Definitely check on the potential URI. That can weigh on them heavily and affect eating, energy and balance. The same happens of course with not enough food. How aften are you syringing her? How much? Roxy did something very similar, in fact we were all sure she had given up on life and...

    Humidity

    It is usually pretty dry here in AB (comparable to Sask) but we don't find we need a humidifier in the summer either. This years looks to be a wet one anyway :(

    Chance: January 1, 2009 to March 1, 2011.

    So sorry for your loss Courtney. Chance was well loved and I'm sure he knew that as you bravely said goodbye.

    Why won't my hedgehog eat?

    If he hasnt been eating at all for that long, he needs his mouth checked and maybe a vet visit. In the meantime, if his grey coloration is because he hasn't been eating (and not because of newspaper), you will need to syringe some food into him. Grey coloration can be a sign of liver disease...

    Wellness Canned Cat Recall

    Yes, Wellness was involved in that big pet food recall that affected kidney function....I think I'll stay clear of that brand for a while, or maybe its that they care enough to do recalls.....
