While giving our girl Natalia an oatmeal bath to try and clear up some dry skin, we noticed this purpley raised line on her exposed skin down her forehead. (You know, the line where their quills part) It doesn't seem to bother her I guess and I've no idea how long its been there, as I never...

Hey all! I wasnt quite sure where to put this to be honest, so move if need be. I've had a hedgie for quite awhile now, (an one before her) but I've run into a new thing. I have a friend that is looking for someone to foster or adopt her guinea pig. My girl is currently in a two level c&c...

Might be a dumb question but I got my first hedgehog when he was basically an adult, and I recently got a younger girl Natalia. Should younger hedgehogs (like 8 weeks) have more or less protein/fat/fiber percentages or different food? I haven't heard anything about entirely different food...

Hey all! It's been a long time since I was on here. My last hedgehog, Ppunk, died quite awhile ago at a ripe old age, but I didn't really have much of a reason to keep participating in hedgehog related internet groups. If anything, it made me very sad shortly after his death. The decision of...

I guess I joined not too long ago initially because I was curious of things to do for an older hedgehog. I knew his time was coming, perhaps in a year or in a few months, but he was over 5 years old and slowing down. Turns out I really enjoyed the community here and posting on forums every now...

I was just looking at random cages at Petsmart (actually to find a picture for another thread lol) and I noticed they had a category for cages for hedgehogs. Naturally I was surprised. These are all terrible for hedgies D=...

Sooo I have two lovely gerbils. They are the kindest things in the world, love being petted and kissed XD They have two of these cages, along with a series of tubes and other little look out things, one tube leads into deep bin full of bedding where they can build their own tunnels and sleep...

So awhile ago I posted asking about any tips for an ageing hedgehog who had never had any health problems before. Ironically not long after that, he started itching a lot very suddenly along with a lot of dandruff. I gave him some oatmeal baths and when it didn't go away went ahead and just...

I guess a little short introduction... My name is Marissa and as per the username, I have just one little hedgehog named Ppunk. (Yes, with two P's. One is silent :p ) I have other pets, including two black gerbils as well as two dogs, two cats, and my small blue parrotlet at my parents house. I...

Hello, I am technically a first time hedgie owner, but I've had my little guy Ppunk for quite awhile now. I realized today that he is getting to be quite old, over 5 years. He's lived a very healthy life thus far, despite having a teenage first time owner who perhaps didn't always know what she...
