Poo Questions

What is a normal amount of poop for a hedgie?

I cleaned out Amy's cage last night and she soon after had left what I thought was quite a lot of poops! I would say she defecates about 10 times a day, in slight various sizes. Toothpaste is a good way of putting it.

Amount of poop seems to depend on age and diet. Babies are little poop machines. How old is Amy and what food is she on?

Here's one account of poopiness: http://www.hedgieflash.org/melanie.html

My little guy poops way more than he eats I Swear!! He always seems to poop on me while I'm showing him off and in the bath Every Single Time! This is my first hedgie but from my personal experience, they are poopy little animals.:thumbsup:
