These are some of the most commonly asked questions that I receive. If your question is not on this list, please feel free to e-mail me!
Where can I find a reputable hedgehog breeder? Ths is by far the most common question, and you will need to e-mail me for some information. When you send your request, please tell me where you are located and how far you are willing to travel to find a hedgehog.
What kind of housing should my hedgehog have? Please see my section on Tips for New and Prospective Hedgehog Owners.
What should I feed my hedgehog? Please see my section on Tips for New and Prospective Hedgehog Owners.
What is the little bump under the chin of my hedgehog? This is absolutely nothing to worry about! All hedgehog have this, it is a gland. I do not know the name of the gland, but I will try to reach my former vet to find out.
My hedgehog is losing quills, what is wrong and what should I do? Quill loss can be due to a number of things, but the first thing that comes to mind is mites. In combination with quill loss, the hedgehog will usually be itchy and uncomfortable, and in extreme cases you can actually see the mite clusters moving around. You need to make an appointment with your veterinarian as soon as possible to avoid possible further complications.
