Thanks Everyone for your replies.! the problem isnt really that his wheel doesnt stand up on its own, it is difficult to clean properly unless you know how too...so I just need something that will work until i can afford another bucket wheel or preferably a Carolina storm wheel, im looking for...

Hi there, Well right now Aiden has a homemade bucket wheel, which he loves and is easy to clean and quiet, but I need a second wheel for when I go away because his current wheel is hard to attach to the cage and a little difficult to get off and on proberly, so i figured it would be easy to get...

Well the docter thinks that this is caused by his new food, she said that they can have allergies and such, because she checked his mouth, his stomach, his stool and did a skin scraping and nothing was wrong with any of that, and he has been drinking and on the way to the vet he did go to the...

Thanks everyone for your quick replies. Well he ate about 3 pieces of food last night, didnt run on his wheel or go to the bathroom, so this morning I made a vet appointment for tonight because I am extremly concerned. His lighting has been normal about 13 hours a day(when i get home i turn on a...

Hello, I'm probaly over-reacting about this but I just want to make sure nothing could be wrong, So Aiden has recently decided to go to the bathroom in his bed, he has never done this before he always went either in the litter box or by his wheel...I dont know if this is a real issue or if im...

Hello, Well I've had Aiden for about 3 months, and when I got him he was tiny and underweight so i started feeding him Innova kitten food, and a hedgehog food (ultra blend diet ), which he seems to love and he has gained some weight and is now at a good steady weight, so i figured it was time to...

hello, Well my grandmother bought me this tea tree coconut body wash/soap, and i know that tea tree products can be fatal to hedgehogs, but im wondering if i were to use it , and then hold or cuddle him later on, would it affect him?? obviously if it will hurt him i wont use it but i just want...

Hey there, I know that they can lose their quills because of stress, mites or quilling but im just wondering if its normal for them to losethe odd one here and there, not everyday but just the odd one or 2 every couple of weeks...? I dont know if this is normal or not or if i should be...

Hello, Well Aiden didnt use his wheel last night, and he's usually a mad man on his wheel every night, is it normal for them to skip a night of wheeling?? he ate normally and drank, and ate his mealies,I probaly seem a bit insane for worrying so much but i jsut want to make sure hes alright...

Well we are leaving on a thursday night and then stopping at a hotel, we would do about 5 hours of travelling on thursday and the rest friday morning, so i think ill just feed him a little bit for thursday night, and let him do his regular routine on thursday night, he travels pretty well , he...

Thanks Everyone for your suggestions! She was one of the vets recomended on this site,she seemed very knowledgable about hedgehogs, she asked me tons of questions about his food, wheel, housing, bedding, heating ect. She listened to his heart and felt his tummy and jaw and mouth for bumps and...

Hello, Well Im taking Aiden to the vet on friday, just for a regular checkup/annual checkup, so is there anything specifcally that I should ask the vet to look at or any major questions that i should ask besides the basics?? Thanks, Tessa

Thanks for the suggestion Greychins, I was orginaly going to do that but I dont have a table long enough and i've looked everywhere and i cant find one at all, and the wheels arent a problem because im pretty sure a hedgehog would never be able to move it by themselves

Hello, Well I'd like to upgrade Aidens cage as soon as i get enough money, so im looking at different cage types, right now I have a large rabbit style cage, wire on top plastic bottom, its large enough but its kinda awkward to clean and its on the ground, Id like something off the ground, it...

Hi there, I am going to Vancouver in a couple of weeks, and im bringing my hedgie, i tried to find someone else to watch him but nobody i know really knows anything about hedgies, i also dont really trust anyone to take care of him, so im taking with me. I know the basics but im just trying to...

I dont own chinchillas but perosnally i would never put an animal in one of these balls, no matter what kind. Most small animals poop and pee while they excercise and to me making them run arund in their own bodily functions is gross and cruel, I would NEVER put my hedgie in one of them, they...
