I was all set for my wedding. Two of my closest friends were supposed to be a few of my bridesmaids. Anyways, they had bought and paid for their bridesmaids dresses. I consulted with them about how much to spend on them too. Well, after my fiancé told me to leave my own home with nothing but...

Hello everyone. I haven't been here in over a year. But today I got an email wishing me a happy birthday so I thought I would come back to share a story. I have missed being a part of this community. Spiny passed away a few years ago and there has been a big hole in my heart ever since...

Perhaps she likes you! Oooh la la! I'm teasing! I just hope she isn't one of those friends who will hold it above your head for eternity. I had a friend like that. We would go to the mall and she would always end up buying something for her and for me. I would go so far as to stop the...

Amelia or Emmille (pronounced em-eel) are pretty names.

I love the last picture. Bear just has 'trouble' written all over him!

I have the comfort wheel (even though Spiny passed away) and I never really thought it was that bad in terms of noise. But then again, I've never had a bucket wheel to compare it to. To clean, I would just fill up the bathtub and put the wheel face down and add a bit of soap and let it soak...

What is the issue with his leg?

I'm sorry for your loss. Loosing a pet is always difficult, no matter how long you have had them for. Are you talking about food pellets? Do you mean feed the hedgehog soaked pellets for a few weeks or feed them pellets that have been soaking for weeks. Why did he say to feed your hedgehog...

What you have to ask yourself is "What am I really craving?" I was a vegetarian for a while and I loved it. I developed some medical complications and had to start eating meat again. Basically, when I was craving meat, I was actually craving salt. I know that it sounds weird, but my body...

By canines, I assume you mean the two little fang like teeth you can see when they sniff in the air? Hedgehogs don't use these to crunch. They use them to grab hold of their prey, so I wouldn't worry too much about eating. It's mostly the molar like teeth (I think that one of the sets of...

I know that we had a 'hedgie sitting' list on C&Q... I wonder if we restarted that here. (That's how I met one of my hedgie friends here). You could get someone to check on your hedgehog. It's not really that difficult. They just have to check and see if there is food and water and lift the...

Do you think that all of the scruffing will harm her? I don't want for her to have puncture wounds and them get infected. Po is regularly checked by a vet, but I'll see if his adrenal glands have been checked.

My brother and his fiancée have two wonderful ferrets. One is a male and the other is a female. Both are about the same age and both came from very reputable breeders. They are both happy and as well behaved as ferrets get (no biting humans, etc.). However, Po (pronounced "Poe", short for...

I don't really think that getting a 0 would help. They are in middle school... the way that kids get pushed through the system is disgusting. Some that can't read or do the course work go on to graduate anyways. I would say that they need some privileges taken away from them. Getting a 0...

Yay! Thank you!! I had a very happy day. It was the four year anniversary of me getting Spiny. He didn't make it to the four year coming home anniversary, but it was an important day none the less. I went to Red Lobster and had a yummy shrimp dinner :)

Even before I read other peoples' comments on here, I thought What are you doing differently? Are you nervous to go outside after dusk? What have you changed in terms of your routine? Even my cat knows when I'm upset. I'd bet that a dog could do the same and then some. Try to follow your...

I know exactly what cage that is. My boyfriend wanted me to get it for Spiny when we first got him. He took one look at the wheel size and decided that because he was going to grow, it would not be appropriate. Plus, a hedgehog's cage is prone to mold and poor ventilation in general if it...

Did you get your hedgehog from a breeder or from a pet store? If you got it from a breeder, it might be a good idea to let them know. They wouldn't want to keep breeding the parents if they knew their offspring possibly had WHS.

I'm sorry to hear about your hedgehog. As I'm sure your vet has told you, there is no way of knowing 100% that your hedgehog has WHS. Although, as the symptoms progress, it becomes pretty clear. I have not had a hedgehog with WHS but I have done some reading on the subject. Many people...

I'm sorry Nancy. I didn't see this for so long! I'm just discovering C&H again and it's a big shock to hear about the wee ones that have passed. I understand every single tear. *hugs*
