Taking my quill baby to the vet for the first time for his annual check up tommorrow! I got him a week ago and I started to hear him sneezing a lot and licking his nose so I'm making sure he doesn't have a uri. He is still eating and isn't lethargic but I just want to make sure!

Hi, my hedgehog is recovering from an eye prolapse! luckily for her my friend's mom is a vet spetialized in eyes so she was able to reintroduced the eye without any complication. It was very scary for me.
Love your videos!

[audreygagnon]

my baby has a respiratory infection and I could only find a spot next week to see a vet, and gosh is it hard to find info online for hedgies, so people who went through one I need advice 🥺🥺🥺🥺 - a freaked out hedgie mom

Do hedgehogs get ear infections? If so what are the symptoms and how would you know if your hedgehog has one?

[katiemcmakin]

I love that ur cute hedgie stars in your vids! I lost my "prickly princess", Dixie at the beginning of the year. I'm not sure what happened, she wasn't old or sick (& symptomatic) at all. But I guess God calls his creatures home when he sees fit but I miss my lil girl. She was awesome, all my friends loved her too! She loved to ride in the car believe it or not. Be blessed!

Help! I just got my hedgehog 5 days ago and I’m already seeing some strange behavior! First, she stopped running on her wheel. She ran on her wheel for two days and then suddenly stopped. I wasn’t too worried about this until I saw two little bumps under her chin. I just noticed these a few hours ago. They are two little hard substances that are in her skin and can be moved around. When I touched them to see what was going on, she didn’t show any sign of pain. She has been eating, drinking, pooping, and peeing. She just hasn’t ran on her wheel and has those bumps under her chin. Please help! Should I bring her to a vet?

Hi im three years late but my hedgie has a slight runny nose and im worried she has upper respiratory infection. She is acting normal and has no other symptoms. Could she have it?

Hi, my mom will not bring my hedgehog to the vet. My hedgehog is peeing blood. I woke up one morning and there was dark blood everywhere. What do I do? I have been giving her unsweetened cranberry juice. I don’t know if it is helping though. The weird thing is she had no blood anywhere on her stomach and she seemed normal.
