His health issues are gone, so signs of them at all, but the nasty behavior is. He does not want to be touched nothing, and it's not like him at all! I've been trying to find a specialist in the area that knows hedgehogs, but the previous vet was clueless! Does anyone know a hedgie doctor in...

The food change was after his stomach problems. I changed food bc the vet thought maybe he needed more nutrients than what he was getting. I'm wondering if it's hormones. Maybe he's going thru some hormonal changes. He is about 5 mo & is still quilling.

The vet did some tests & said everything came back normal. He is about 5 months old, and he still seems to be quilling. This was literally overnight. I am afraid the visit traumatized him. He has been to the vet before bc unfortunately he was sick when I brought him home. I'm wondering if the...

So I took my little man to the vet almost 2 wks ago, because there was blood in his urine and feces. This vet seems to have absolutely no idea what she is doing, and does not know a THING about hedgehogs. I will not be bringing him back there. But anyway, ever since his visit he has been...

HAHAHA! Oh my gosh, I think Oscar just randomly decides...or maybe "it" decides for him! He's really great w/meds...he loves the way it tastes! Unfortunately, when we first got him, he must have picked something up from the pet store, and I had to give him antibiotics for an upper respiratory...

Thank you everyone for the warm welcomes! Jersey Represent! Hahaha. @Jenn-I did, and they said that he did not get anything from being in the pet store, and that it must have been when I brought him home, and they offered a refund or an exchange. Which is absolutely ridiculous, I would NEVER...

No, no blood. Ok, as long as that's all it is. I just want to make sure that it's nothing abnormal. The first time I saw it, I thought he was having some sort of seizure!!

Thanks for the info everyone! What would you consider a good protein percentage and what would be the best fat percentage to look for? Any brand recommendations?

Hi, I've noticed that a lot of hedgie owners seem to be giving their pets cat food. The vet recommended Mazuri to me. Has anyone heard of this? I have food I bought from the pet store. There is a dry food, and then a "wet" food that I add a calcium powder to twice a week, and another I...

Hi, my name is Danielle. I just purchased my little man Oscar (hedgie) the first week in January. I am absolutely in love with him! He can be cranky at times, especially since he just started his last stage of quilling but mostly he is just a ball of love! I purchased him from a local pet store...

Ok I'm glad that this is normal, because Oscar's are HUGE. It's like in every picture, my boyfriend and I laugh bc they are like half the size of his body!!! This is going to sound weird...but sometimes his u know what comes out, usually when he's sleeping, and it's almost like he's chewing on...

My hedgie hates water! I give him quick little foot baths every morning because of the runs he does in his wheel at night. Is there any way I can get him to become a little more comfortable in a bath?

Snacks My little man Oscar really likes Kale, cilantro and apples. I haven't tried giving him any other fruits yet because they aren't in season, so the spring will tell more! His favorite place to sleep is his igloo and in my lap wrapped up in a blanket. I keep the apartment pretty warm, so...
