Hi! So, we got a hedgehog yesterday and checked on her today and she had 3 babies (from what we could tell). When i checked on her this morning, her cage was a complete mess! After doing some research it seems that she was probably nesting. Since we didn't know she was pregnant, we didn't...

Hi! So my husband and I just got a hedgehog yesterday. She seemed grumpy yesterday when we were playing with her but figured it was because she was just getting used to us. After a while, she was really bonding with my husband. Anyways, my husband went to check on her today and noticed she had 3...

They all have their own personalities! Henrie LOVES raisins. I don't give her a full one everyday as I know it is too sugary for her. I take a little bit of it and give it to her, but every time you approach her she will climb the side of the cage doing a "trick" for her raisin. If you even just...

I appreciate everyone's input and I do take it into consideration. However, I haven't seen any signs of decline and she has been at z73-77 degrees for almost 3 months now. The highest the house has gotten is. 79 and that is after taking a shower and the room getting hot and humid. I keep her...

I appreciate all of your comments! However, we have been keeping the house at 79 and the hallway stays about 77 and she has been great! It has been about a month that it has been hotter and she is doing absolutely fine. I catch her on her side a couple of times but she gets right back up. It had...

My chinchilla did exactly the same thing when I first got her. What helped me was making sure that she had a bunch of hay in her cage before going to bed. Although, once she was done with the hay (around 3 am) she would start gnawing on her cage. Henrie loves crumpled up paper, what a cheap...

Yeah. My mom usually keeps the house at 80, I was able to talk her down to 78. I know it is not fair to her for being in such a hot environment. I do have a marble slab that I have in her cage. I also have frozen water bottles and ice packs that I keep in her cage as well. I know it doesn't...

I know that my house is too hot for her and we are trying to find a cool spot for her. My room has poor ac we are getting someone to come in, so i cant keep my door close cause it can get 84 :( she is in the hallway since we have tile it keeps it a degree cooler. I have a swamp cooler but it...

I have had my chinchilla for 4 months and she has been to the vet with a healthy report. However, she keeps laying on her side and it freaks me out. I live in AZ so it gets rather hot here. We have been keeping the house at most 78 (my mom wont turn the air any lower). The thing i find weird is...
