I haven't thought of a name for him yet - the SO and I are still trying to come up with one we both like.
I'll work on getting other better pictures later, but he was brand new to me yesterday, and still a bit shy.
This is the cage he came in - so tiny! I should have known the cage would be small... good thing I planned on making one myself anyway!
Here's the cage I made him - what I love about it is that I can modify this at anytime. I'm thinking I might make a second level, and have hedgie safe ramps to it.
Being shy...
What are you looking at?
And here he is, curled up in a towel next to me - we hand bonding time watching TV last night. He was pretty tuckered out though - he had a big day with lots of change yesterday.
Although when I put him to bed last night and I was reading, I heard him going NUTS on his wheel! So, I went and peeked at him and he stopped dead, looking like a little kid caught doing something wrong, lol. I watched him a bit longer and he started running again. I'm going to put vaseline on the wheel (the part that spins, not where he runs) so hopefully it will be a bit quieter. He might get a flying saucer wheel here later on.
He also really needs a bath - I don't think he EVER got one in his old him. His quills have stuff all over them in places - I'm guessing from annointing. He also has a little stink to him - I'm guessing from them not changing the bedding often enough, as he smells like urine, not hedgie! So, tonight we'll get him all cleaned up.
