Carolina Storm Wheels is a great place for bucket wheels. They are easy to clean and very quiet. Plus a great human! http://www.carolinastormhedgehogs.com/the-carolina-storm-wheel.html

Do you use hand lotion or sensed soaps or maybe smell like food? He probably smells something interesting, Usually licks comes first and then bite. You can try washing your hands with unscented soap before holding him.

Is she loosing quills? She might be quilling. That is when they start to get their adult quills. That can be painful for them so be careful of her back. It can also cause them to be quite crabby. It is good that she is eating good cat food, most hedgehogs prefer that over hedgehog food. Even the...

That is a great question. I have not had experience with it, but I would think it would be OK as long as the temperature requirements don't effect the guinea pig. I would try it and see how it goes. Let us know!

Search on Etsy is good too!

All adorable! What great finds, thank you for sharing.

Here is a good place to start with for the cages http://www.guineapigcages.com You will need a CHE like SilverHedgie said. One or two, depending on cage size plugged into a thermostat so you can control the temp. Most hedges need it warmer then 73 degrees so this will allow you to heat the cage...

Some things you can try is to leave a shirt you have worn in her cage so she can get used to your smell. Treats are good. You can try scooping her up with a piece of fleece, she might feel safer if she is wrapped up. Then you can hold her on your lap while she is in the blankie while you watch...

That's lovely and a wonderful tribute to Watson to care for another hedgie.

Do you know if Tickles is biting because he is anointing? It may be the soap smell he likes. You can try unscented soaps. You can also try wearing a t-shirt under the sweatshirt and have him in between the two. If nothing works you can get a bonding bag to carry him around in or just sit with...

I have never heard of hedgehogs needing dewormer. I take my hedgie outside all the time and never had a problem.

You can use either of those! Bag balm would probably be best for the ears and if your hedgie gets dry skin a few drops of the coconut oil would be great.

I'm so sorry. You are in my thoughts.

I second the emergency vet. I have no idea what else to tell you. You guys are in my thoughts.

You're welcome! That's great, it is so happy when it is something easy. Yes, please keep us updated if any change, but I think he will be OK.

It is possible it it WHS, I don't know enough about it to make any guess. I just wanted to suggest that you double check the temp in his cage and maybe boost it up a couple of degrees, as hedgehogs get older they sometimes need warmer temperatures. A vet appointment would be good, if it is...

So whenever Luna does something slightly out of the ordinary I worry. Like now, she is eating a lot and gaining weight steadily. That is a good thing with her history, but I worry. "Why is she eating so much, whats wrong? What is that a symptom of?" I know she is finally healthy and happy but...

I would take him back to the vet. I'm not sure, but I would think there should be some change by now. At the very least call the vet asap and tell her whats going on. Maybe it is normal, but he needs to eat so the vet will be able to help with that too.

This happens a lot when babies come home. Keep trying to syringe feed because he needs to eat. I would recommend a vet visit to rule out any illnesses. Another common thing with hedgehogs is something commonly called the 7 day infection, because after a big change it is common for the little...

Have you seen a vet for wellness check, just to rule out any problems there? At night is her room dark and quiet? Most hedgies won't come out if not. She might be scared especially if she wasn't handled a lot. When you hold her you can try covering her with a blanket or a hedgie bag so she feels...
