GET A SUNIGGE SACK I didn't and she was really scared you started bleeding from trying to burrow she was ok but I had to take her out just get something they can hide in or burrow

Kyra Jordan it has been made in the past x

Yesssss that is a good recast or whatever

I miss her so much why won’t she post?

i think she already made a video on that like maybe 8 yrs ago....

U can look on google and press image and they have a list of what they can and can not eat

Insects like: crikets and meal worms

I’m still looking for a video like this

This is a list of the many cat foods for hedgehogs. Meal worms and crickets or super worms are given a couple times a week as more of a “treat” otherwise it adds far too much protein. There’s also a list of vegetables and fruits that are acceptable. I have given my Hedgie apples and mangos, kibble sized amounts and they do fine. Peas and carrots work as well and it’s great cause you can use frozen bags and then just pull some out and again only give the insects and vegetables/fruits more sparingly. You want them mostly on a cat kibble diet. Google the nutritional information for the hedgehogs such as proteins, fibers, fats. If you just google the nutritional requirements, which insects are okay, which vegetables are okay, you’ll be good. Also I recommended using more than one type of kibble, because sometimes brands discontinue their line of that one food your hedgie has been on for months. So you slowly rotate by adding half the kibble you were using with the new kibble, then you can completely switch or keep the same. Currently I am using a mix of Complete Wellness Health Natural indoor dry food with chicken I believe, but they’ve been eating that and only that since they were babies a few months back. I recently decided to switch it up as I can’t find a decently small sized bag or a bag available anywhere and am running low which is why I recommended a switch. It’s higher in the proteins and fats and less in fiber. The more fiber you can get, the better. So I just bought 2 different types of Blue Buffalo, one is popular in a lot of KZfaq videos and it comes in a blue bag and is called Indoor Health, the other is a yellow and purple bag and that’s called Weight Control formula. I have been mixing a 50/50 ratio of the old Wellness Complete (or what I have remaining of it) with the Blue Buffalo Weight Control. All of these foods will be on the list I provided. Now we all know hedgies struggle with obesity and foods too high in proteins and fats are so hard on their kidneys, and according to many online information I found, the higher the fiber, the better. I suggest slowly integrating the new food into their diet rather than just suddenly swapping as it can cause diarrhea. But even if you do swap completely for a new food, that’s fine, you’ll just have a messier litter pan to clean for a few days to a week. My boys seem to like their Weight control food. Now one of my hogs (the runt of his litter absolutely blew up, despite running on the wheel. So I cut back his food and give him less than my other hedgehog which is very active on the wheel and I feel needs more food, so I’ll give him a little more food than I feed the other one. Both are doing well. I was expecting more of a poop mess as I switch them over to this weight control, and I may bust open the bag of the blue Buffalo indoor cat adult food for my more athletic and inshape hog and save the weight control mainly for the fatter guy. Which is important to have a scale and measure their weights, which will tell you when to cut back or add more food. Here is the link of acceptable dry cat foods: www.volcanoviewhedgehogs.com/kibble-list.html Also there are many other insects you can serve mainly as treats!!! Just 2-3 times a week in sparingly amounts. You can get the freeze dried. My boys started on dry meal worms and have winced moved onto crickets which they were kinda hesitant about. I put 2 meal worms and 2 crickets in the bowl so I can see the next day whether or not they are then or not and I’m not forgetting how many are in there. You can also feed live insects and not just meal worms. Super worms, wax worms, Dubai roaches. But remember these are all really high in nutritional values so I would save them as treats and then, I’ll typically give some freeze dried mealworms or crickets to my more athletic hog, the plumper boy gets them fewer aww haha he loves them too. But what must be done must be done. We have not worked our way up to live insects yet and I haven’t given them too many veggies as a lot of the kibble already contains veggies and berries in it. But peas and carrots work well. I’ve been more experimental with the fruits but like I said, I’ve only tried apples and mangos, and these are given on nights when I’m doing a smaller amount of kibble for my big boy cause of the sugar content. Also, definitely take out any uneaten fruits or veggies, well in general completely empty out the bowls the next day to keep gnats away and also the fruit dries up so a hedgie could try to eat it, bite into it and have a hard time chewing it as mangos don’t dry hard, more of a jerky texture. Just google safe fruits and vegetables for hedgehogs and you’ll find a list. Same with the insects. And like I said, these are not everyday meal foods. Just a couple a few times a week. They mainly just eat the cat food. I guess Rachel Ray has some “cat treats” they’re kinda mushy but also have some crunch in them. I saw another hedgie KZfaqr giving a couple to his hedgie, who chewed and then anointed himself with it soo idk about those haha Just buy a kitchen scale and progress their weight fluctuations, stick to the link I provided. And google is a powerful resource with tons of info about a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and insects to feed your hedgehog. You don’t just need to rely on a KZfaqr who has a hedgehog for this info. Yes they have good info for beginners. But I have a completely different setup for my hedgies as I decided to go with a custom made wooden hutch and researching safe products to seal it to prevent mites and bacterial infections. Off topic but I would recommend water based aquarium sealant and water based silicone as caulking for the corners and sides. I really love how my hutches turned out with glass doors, custom made fleece bedding and hide-outs. It’s also 2 stories. The cages Tori uses aren’t allowing access to the upper level which she instead uses to put a heat lamp on. Hedgehogs love to climb. Just put them in a low rim box or a sink with some water. Watch them climb. Of course I also have a custom made and secure ramp for them to get up and down safely and it utilizes every part of the hutch. I’m quite proud of how they turned out. Plus they match my furniture. Very cute!! Hope the list helps you out although I know this is an old comment. This channel is not the only hedgie channel around, and reading online is a great source of info for any needs or concerns.

Same I’m hopefully getting mine tomorrow and I’m starting to binge watch videos. :)

How’s the hog doing

Chewy has some good things!

DxnutSxphia Yt chewy is owned by petsmart and petsmart is horrible with animals and the stuff they have for animals is horrible

simplysophie I’ve been thinking about a heating pad. May I ask what brand you use/ how you control it??

simplysophie how big is ur viv and how big is the heatmat/what is the wattage?

I use a heating pad as well, and it's not in his cage it's under it and he seem to like it..

Can you please send me the link on where to buy that please stay safe 🙏🙏🙏👍

i’m going to use a pad that is custom made to fit my hogs cage, it’s a company that makes gets pads in the vets cages to keep their patients warm the person who recommended me has had no issues but then again i don’t think Tori is talking about the same heat pads we are

I haven’t specifically litter trained any of mine, they just tend to make the biggest mess on their wheels so I use litter trays under them to catch most of it :)

I don’t have any experience with hedgehogs getting fleas, it’s actually more likely for them to get mites, which requires a vet visit.

@@ToriLynnPPH thank you so much, I wasnt really sure what was going on with that because I heard that they can get them quite easily

Fleece covers aren't very safe as they can cause urine Burns and make it harder to run. If you get a good bucket wheel they are completely silient. I recommend volcano view or Carolina storm. (CS can be found on Etsy and VV can be found by searching volcanoviewshop in Google) 😊

@@nevaeharndt4413 Okay, thanks!

No problem!

I don’t have the materials for that but if you search “how to build a C&C cage” you’ll find loads of videos on that!

Tori Lynn okay thank you! And which one do you think is best: 2x2 or 2x3?
