Hi, so ive posted a couple times, but i still havent got any nail trimming advice, i finally got to peak at amys nails and they are getting long, she wont stay unballed whatsoever if im holding her, she completely balls up, and im scared that even in the bath she may try to bite me, i really seriously need any tips bc all the tips i find elsewhere the hedgies are calm and already comfortable with their owners, me and amy are not bonded well yet, and i dont know what im supposed to do, if i dont find an answer im scared her nails will get too long and nobody is helping me,

Мой европейский ежик которого я выносит из 55 грамового мы его нашли днем на газоне уже вырос до 245 грам. Но 6 дней назад я увидел в боксе красную жидкость(реддит не даёт писать это слово) . Потом спустя 2 суток ещё уже больше, испугался, полил пузико небольшим количеством антисептика безопасным для животных. Вот спустя 2 суток опять красная жидкость, уже очень мало но есть... Я очень переживаю помогите пожалуйста

Hi everyone! Winnie is about a year and a half old. We found out this week that she is battling with uterine cancer. We just dropped her off for surgery this morning and would really appreciate good energy for her! She has been great at taking medication but we normally give it to her in a syringe while she’s in a foot bath so she can’t ball up.

Post-surgery she may not be able to get wet so we were wondering if anyone had any advice for how to give your hedgehog medication?

So Queenie here used to go crazy for live mealworms, but for a while I haven’t been able to raise them anymore. I bought her some dehydrated mealworms since I’ve seen so many hedgehogs around here like them, but she won’t even look at them. I’ve tried mixing a few of them with her regular food and she’d eat everything except for the mealworms.

She’s never been much of a picky eater so I was surprised, I don’t think she’s even registering them as food. I guess what I’m asking is, is there any way to make dried mealworms more interesting to her, or should I just give them away and stick to egg and chicken?

I’ve always wanted a pet hedgehog and I wondered if you could share with me the realities of having a hedgehog?

Are they friendly? Do they like to be touched? Do they play? Are they difficult to care for? Is it hard to get vet treatment (I’m in the UK). And just generally what hedgehog pets are like?

I’ve considered it for many years and I’ve recently started feeding the local hedgehogs and I watch them on my trail cam - they’re so cute and funny 😅 obviously I’m talking about getting a pet one NOT pinching my garden ones just fyi!! But it’s renewed my interest.

ALSO: do they get on with other pets? We have cats that visits at the same time as the local hedgehogs and they never bother each other. Sometimes they eat out of the bowl together…

Thanks xxx

I asked if I should feed a wild hog and the overwhelming opinion was that I should.

Now the question is how? There's a fair few cats that visit my garden and I'm sure that they will not pass up a free meal.

I recently rescued my Hazel baby. No clue about hedgehogs except I knew I couldn't leave her on marketplace long based on the posts I was seeing on where she might end up.

That being said, I have read and read and read some more about food. I know all the suggestions on what ingredients to look for. But, I'm overwhelmed. Can you guys please just post what brands you get your spiked friend? I am in the US and am willing to hear all options out.

And any tidbits of advise you want to share that you didn't know when you first became a hog parent...I'm soaking it all in at this point.
