HELP !

Madybaby111 — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 22:47:37 GMT

Today i bought two MALE hedgehogs off of Kijiji, They are both a year old and have been living together their whole life, As too the fact that they are both male, i am concerned that they are living together. I am thinking about separating them but i am wondering if maybe they have created a bond ?I thought all hedge hogs of the same sex could live together, so this whole no males together thing is new to me. And really bothering me. I am kind of worried ! Can someone please help me out and give me some helpful information ? Remember, they are both a year old and have lived together forever....

Have you owned several types of small animal pets? If so, which one turned out to be the best pet for you? Why?

Couple of questions

This is my first hedgehog, he's 9 1/2 weeks old and I know that he is probably quilling, but his skin has been dry and itchy for the past couple of days along with some quill loss (10-15 quills). I can see the new quills coming in and I don't see any signs of fleas or mites, so I was wondering if the skin being dry/itchy was normal during quilling, and whether a bath or warm soak may help, or if it would make it worse. I was also wondering if there were any tips for litter training, he does use his litter pan, but only 50-60% of the time. Finally, what are some of your opinions on neutering hedgies, I only have one and don't plan to have more than one at any time, but I wondered if there were health benefits similar to those in dogs when neutered. Thank you in advance for any information.

What is your hedgehog's favorite treat?

Bunnies and Hedgehogs

I've always wondered why bunnies and hedgehogs need the exact same things like cage size, litterboxes, and other things. The only difference is food! I think hedgehogs are awesome! I was considering buying one a few months ago but when my mom saw the average price on hedgehogs she nearly passed out! So I got something similar: a BUNNY!!! Bun Bun is the world's most wonderful bunny because he is the cutest thing, and he will eat my homework for me!(My dog thinks homework tastes bad.) Hedgehogs are so cute! I saw this really adorable photo of a baby hedgehog yawning while sitting on a blanket when I was searching on Google.
