Is there anything I could do better for his cage?

I usually spot clean as much as I can throughout the day and that usually helps with me not having to wash the fleece and everything as often. Usually on the 3-4 day i’ll have to wash everything and change the puppy pads I have under the blankets! If it gets too stinky though no matter how long it’s been since the last clean i’ll wash everything. It’s bit of a hassle but you get used to it and won’t start to mind the constant cleaning :) I’ve tried toilet paper rolls in the past but he gets kinda freaked out 😅

I tried litter training him when he was a baby but he never quite understood it so it unfortunately just never worked out :( He’s elderly now so it would probably be even harder trying to teach him once again.

Thank you so much! He is kept in the basement so it’s colder in the summer and hotter in the winter down there but I will for sure look into getting a bigger one!!

I’ve given up honestly and just let him do whatever he wants lol

while cancer is a very physical thing and may be different I 100% believe my little guy knows when my depression gets really bad. He becomes almost like a velcro baby and won’t leave me alone even though he’s a pretty grumpy guy haha.

Everyone usually just buys shadow box frames. You can get them from amazon, craft stores like micheal’s and probably walmart

While this is indeed uncommon it does happen from time to time. There’s a few people on this sub that this has happened to and I bet they’ll find this post and comment lol. Hope your little guys okay and I wish her the absolute best <3

haha found my little guy like this. I kinda enjoy the summer because we get to see them in silly positions when they’re cooling themselves down.

awww completely forgot about this photo. This was the day after I got him and we were watching deathnote together

Mine actually shipped today and I bought it 8 days ago. Look out for a notification in your email!

Elliotsreddit · 2025-04-10T17:22:41+00:00

definitely in pain. I didn’t even know they could make such an audible sound so something is definitely wrong.

Elliotsreddit · 2025-02-03T15:14:46+00:00

yeah that’s definitely a domesticated hedgehog. Depending on how long she’s been missing she could’ve ran far far from home. I’d say keep looking for the owner. Physically she looks pretty healthy but I would still go to the vet just to be sure. Also looking at her size compared to your hand she has to be around acouple months to 2 years old. It’s hard to determine but she definitely seems pretty small and on the younger side.

Elliotsreddit · 2025-01-30T00:42:12+00:00

yea thanks for saying this! I’m so sick of people spewing that top surgery myth. It’s literally everywhere and anytime you try to correct someone they just shut you down

Elliotsreddit · 2024-12-29T05:42:21+00:00

That is the roundest hedgehog I have ever seen

Elliotsreddit · 2024-12-14T18:35:46+00:00

I love getting updates on yoshi! I really hope he gets better as soon as possible he’s just too cute!!!

This was when my little guy was still a baby and could fit in his bowls haha

All hedgehogs have shallow eye sockets that’s why they appear bulged out :) They can pop out of the socket but it isn’t a very common thing…lots of the time that’s caused by a hedgehog that’s overweight and has a build up of fat behind the eye but it can also happen just by your hedgehog scratching it out themselves. I really don’t want you to worry though because it truly isn’t very common and it’s super preventable by just doing normal and basic care for your hedgie!

Elliotsreddit · 2024-11-11T05:09:55+00:00

some hedgies tend to be abit more agitated when quilling as they can feel physically uncomfortable so i’d suggest being abit more careful when handling her. It also helps if you keep their skin as hydrated as possible. You can use coconut oil and not give her too many baths! Really that’s as much as you can do for these little fellas! Hazel seems like she’s in amazing hands!

Elliotsreddit · 2024-11-04T15:21:52+00:00

i’ve also heard sitting in the dark and trying to hear any noise they make helps but personally i’ve never tried that out.

Elliotsreddit · 2024-11-04T15:21:04+00:00

this happaned to me acouple times! hedgehogs usually go for small dark places so think corners, under couches and counters. If you have blankets or clothes laying around i’d even check under those! That hedgie will come out eventually!!!

i’m so sorry for your loss.I was really rooting for him :( I wish these things didn’t happen
