My hedgehog remington recent lost feeling and movement in his rear legs. this happened overnight. He won't eat, he is still drinking water and peeing, he isn't pooping very much. I am going to make a vet appt for tuesday but wanted to know what this might be, he's about 3 years old. He takes a few minutes to "Wake up" when i pick him up, but then he seems happy just as he was...


here's a video of him today:

I am sorry I don't know what is wrong but bumping this for you in hopes someone else will see. I hope Remington feels better.
 
He's began eating and drinking on his own. still have dark green poops. going to see the vet tommorow. still no feeling or movement in his rear legs. still active though
 
Goodness!!! My guess is as good as anyone's - sprain, break, neurological...
I hope his vet is able to figure it out quickly and that there's a good prognosis.
Sending hedgiehugs to you and Remington.
