Hey y’all! I’m still trying to get a video out about my new hedgehog, but thought I’d answer a couple questions on here for those of you that were dying to know:)
1. When and how did you get him? I got him May 17 2021. He was listed on a local rehoming site:)
2. What’s his care like? Still trying to learn about hedgehogs and their care! He is currently in a wire cage which is around 5 sqft. I have plans to upgrade him into a Bioactive set up. For heating, he has a ceramic heat emitter. His bedding is currently half kiln dried pine pellets and the other half is fleece. His cage is quite simplistic, I’m still learning what hedgehogs like. He currently has 2 hides, a 12 inch bucket wheel, water bowls, water bottle and a good bowl. His diet is transitioning from a Rachel Ray kibble to the Spikes ultra brand. I’ve also heard mixed reviews of the spikes, so I will be buying a few more high quality cat foods and creating a mix! He also gets live mealworms
3. What about his personality? He’s my first hedgehog, so I don’t really have anything to compare it to. He’s a little huffy when first woken up but calms down super quickly. He is very social once he’s awake and tolerant of handling. He is also pretty clean as far as a hedgehog goes:)
4. Knkw anything about his coloring? Since he was a rehome, I don’t know exactly, but I think he would be considered a blaze? However I think a lot of those terms are outdated since I rarely see breeders actually using them:)
5. Hedgehog care videos? Will be happy to share my own care and experiences! But currently I don’t have enough experience to tell others what to do. If y’all have any tips for me, please let me know!!
