When I took Maserati to the vet for her most recent check-up, the vet said she weights 550 g and is overweight. She has a large cage (2'x4') with a dig box, tunnels, stuffed animals to play with, and a wheel. She is 4 years old now and doesn't use her wheel as much as she used to, but she still...

Hey everyone! It's been awhile, so I hope everyone and your hedgies are doing well! Anyway, I'm looking into flying to my Thanksgiving destination, but so far I can't find any airlines that will accept any animals besides dogs, cats, and some birds, but I really want to take Maserati with me...

Amazon is selling the Boat Ride Sketchbook by Eeboo that has a hedgehog and a frog in a boat on the cover. It is $8, measures 7x9, and has 60 pages of white paper. :)

I noticed yesterday morning that there was blood in Maserati's urine (none in the stool, though). I tried to get her into an emergency vet, but nobody would see a hedgehog. So, I talked to a friend of a friend yesterday who is a vet and he agreed to see her this morning. She hasn't had any...

I get the flu, swine flu, a cold, strep, other viruses, etc.? I'm not normally one to be paranoid about things, but swine flu has entered the county I work in, and I work with young kids, so I'm bound to end up getting something this season. In case that happens, can any of these things be...

Maserati started as a baby in a 10 gallon aquarium with a comfort wheel, moved to a Sterilite then a modified birdcage (because of an accident with the Sterilite at a sitter's house - they bought the birdcage) both with a bucket wheel, and now she has a hedgie palace and cake walk wheel (which I...

Does anyone have Ohio vet recommendations? I am moving to Kent (/Akron/Canton area) soon, and I need to find a good hedgie vet there! Please PM me if there are any you recommend AGAINST. Thanks! :cute:

I ended up taking over 900 pics on my recent trip (yikes)! I finally finished editing all of them on Lightroom, and have narrowed down to my top 327 for printing. Haha. So, now I need to get to printing. What websites have you all used, and what are your favorites? I think I have heard that...

...After 6 weeks in Zambia! We also ventured into South Africa and Botswana, but only for day trips. I was part of the first ever group to do speech and hearing screenings in Zambia. We also did language enrichment with children ages birth to 4 years at the Haven orphanage. There is so much to...

Like the title says, I am going through a ton of life changes right now! Here's a rundown: Just graduated undergrad on Saturday (I graduated Magna Cum Laude!), and will be transferring to Kent State for grad school in the fall, where I do not know a single person. In fact, I still have yet to...

Do you cover your hedgie's cage with blankets, etc.? What are the reasons why or why not?

As a Speech-Language Pathology (therapy) student, I am constantly exposed to the various types of speech, language, hearing, and swallowing disorders that impair communication and limit the lives of many people (around 14 million in the United States alone). Many do not know that they can be...

I know there have been other threads on exotics, but I ran across this ad while perusing Kijiji near me. The poster has the following animals listed:Baby Pygmy/Fainting Goats, Artic Marble Fox Kits, Skunks, Mountain Coati Mundi, Fallow Deer, Baby Cavys, Munt Jac Deer. Now, I know people have...

I just got a new laptop computer as an early graduation present (early because my other one got a horrible virus and died.... we will reformat the hard drive and give it to my mom when it works again). Anyway, I wanted to get a new laptop sleeve, so I was searching and found this one! I'm so...

A Yahoo! group where you can get rid of/ find hedgie items for free. The only thing you pay is shipping! :party:

Maserati has started a new weird behavior: dumping her food all over the cage at night. I'm wondering if this is normal, or if it could possibly be acting out, because she only started this after I brought her back home after leaving her with a sitter for a week while I visited my parents in PA...

I found this recipe for a hedgehog cake at MailOnline. It looks pretty easy since all you need are 1 large/1 small sponge cake, chocolate frosting, chocolate vermicelli (or sprinkles), chocolate matchsticks, and 3 chocolate drops. The hardest part would be cutting it up to eat. It's cute! :thumbsup:

I'm so excited! I got my acceptance letter today to go to graduate school at Case Western University for speech pathology! I'm nervous because it's extremely competitive, but it has an awesome research program. I don't know for sure that I will go there - I am still waiting to hear from a few...
