Hi all, I'm not sure if anyone's ever posted this tip/trick before, but I found it works very well with my hedgie. I've tried a lot of different methods when cutting my hedgie's (Pip's) nails, but nothing worked because he's still wiggly and fussy! Finally, I realized that Pip seems to calm...

unfortunately, I can't watch him eat. Pip's really reclusive and passive. He never eats (other than meal worms) in front of me. He's not active (like curious and exploring) when he's outside and "playing". He just always wants a place to hide and burrow. If there's no where to hide, he'll...

I have that same wheel and haven't had any problems with it. Of course, I keep my hedgie's nails well trimmed so they don't get too long, so maybe that helps too. I also have it set with a litter tray (and litter stuff) under it because that's where he does his business (when he's running), so...

I just noticed today that Pip's teeth are shorter than they use to be and i don't know what to think! I am very worried. Basically, when I first had Pip, he has these vampire-like incisors and when i rubbed his chin, i could feel them too because they stuck out. Then today, when I picked up...

So I'm working on getting Pip to be accustomed to me. I bought Pip at 4months old from a family that was selling him because they said they didn't have time for him (so a bit neglected) and the family had 4 kids, youngest being about 12, so I'm thinking Pip, when played with, might've been...

Okay, thanks for the info. :) I guess Pip is like his mummy: I get car sick, especially on heavy traffic.

I read somewhere that it might be a good idea to put a light (normal kind, not heating lamp) in the room during the winter to stimulate (and fool) the hedgehog to thinking it's still summer to prevent it from hibernating or something. But it doesn't make sense to me because I thought hedgehogs...

Hello! I just bought a Hedgie yesterday and I'm a first time owner. My name is Emma and I live in The Netherlands. My male hedgie is called Pip. :) I don't remember the name of his colour, but he's the normal colour one (dark face, dark ears, brown and white spikes etc.) I hope the...
