I have Sookie a bath a few days ago and noticed her big toe on her back foot looks red and inflamed. I made sure she had no strings or hair attached and rinsed her foot thoroughly and put some peroxide on it. Today it looks worse. Definitely darker and she hasn't been running on her wheel. I put...

i just wanted to say happy mother's day to all of my fellow mothers of hedgehogs, and hedgehogs who are mothers! i'm sure if our hedgies could say thank you, they would! .....except maybe my Grumpy ;-)

some of you may know yesterday i took my little ones to the vet and although it wasn't a very good vet experience something hilarious did come out of it! the vet was trying to use a popsicle stick to open sookies mouth to examine her teeth but she refused to comply. the vet moved on and gently...

if its not one thing its another. my hedgehog Grumpy (named for obvious reasons) has been running on his wheel less and pooping considerably less than normal for the past few days. i think this may be due to the fact that i completely cut out the sunseed hedgehog food from his normal food. i...

hey there! its been a while, but i recently built on an addition to the c&c cage for grumpy and sookie. ever since i altered the cage, they both seem to love to burrow under their fleece liners to sleep! i even have large igloos with fleece strips for them to burrow in and sleep bags i made out...

I currently have two hedgehogs. One of them has her own C&C cage, but since I don't have a lot of room, I haven't been able to build my other's cage and currently have him in a large storage bin. He's been cranky ever since leaving his mom and I think he really doesn't like his current set up...

Ugh, seriously, one problem after another... First my little boy is cranky and upset, then the mother goes into hibernation last night, then my little girl gets grouchy, and now I found a teeny tiny black bug crawling on m computer screen. I noticed my little girl was scratching herself as I...

So I went upstairs to check on my girls and when I lifted up the blanket, Sookie balled and spiked up-something she very rarely does. I noticed her head moving very slowly and when I finally was able to pick her up she was freezing cold! I immediately put her in a blanket against my chest to...

I seperated my little boy from his mom on Thursday when he turned six weeks old. If I've done my research right, that was the correct time to separate him? Well, It's day two of separation. He was already pretty scared and grouchy before I separated him and in the past two days it has now...

I posted this in my last thread, but hopefully I can get a response or two by starting a new one. My little ones are turning 5 weeks old tomorrow. The little girl is taking to food well and seems to be nibbling but I haven't seen the boy eat the dry food at all. I also notice him still rushing...

I recently purchased a female hedgehog (Sookie) from a pet store in Indiana. I originally had every intention of getting one from a breeder, but when I saw the little hedgies in the store, I knew I had to take one home with me. I've had her for about a month. She seemed to warm up to me quite...

I'm new to the forum, but so far I see a lot of really helpful info, in addition to all the adorable little animals! I'm residing in southern Indiana with my new hedgie, Sookie. We've had a bit of a struggle recently (i'll be talking about this in other threads), but I'm confident Sookie and I...
