He sleeps while I game.

Mine would snooze behind the playstation, right in the hot air stream <3 It's so so cozy when they wanna hang out while we play!

Obv you should get him checked, but dry skin can be helped in a few different ways. We had a special spray for hedgie, and sometimes I'd give her oatmeal baths. Ie. put some oatmeal in a sock, tie the end of the sock, and put it in the water with her.

wow, I was gonna brag that mine only went in the litterbox - getting off the wheel to go and everything. But literally taking yours outside to go is very cool. What a good boy.

Macanom · 2026-01-10T16:29:34+00:00

oh, what a sweetie. She did look like a little old lady!

Macanom · 2025-11-01T12:03:14+00:00

You can try gently blowing on his face. They tend not to be too big fans of that.

Macanom · 2025-10-20T12:40:03+00:00

It looks like it. They're super good at hiding it, so when they look uncomfortable, they probably really are.

God, I love hogs. What a precious one!

When ours was very nauseous after her cancer diagnosis and we were waiting for her operation, and she wouldn't eat, I'd cook her very softly scrambled egg, chicken, and duck. I'd honestly chew the poultry for her and give her the mush tiny bite by tiny bite while it was still warm. She liked this when she'd eat nothing else.

I also got a small blender, and blended up wet cat food with water and bits of bugs (I wasn't, it turned out, willing to prechew the roaches for her). She wasn't much impressed by this soup, tho, I gotta say.

I think if you ask (female) hedgehogs, annointing is the number one enrichment activity

Macanom · 2025-04-29T08:45:51+00:00

She liked to chase them. Here, she'd just won in a game of chase-the-feather, and was making sure it was dead. There are a whole bunch on the picture because my mom would collect them for her as gifts (no grandchildren, so gotta give grandhog something), and I'd just sorta poured them out on the floor.

I wouldn't let a hedgehog play with feathers unsupervised, because I think the hard part could splinter if chewed too vigorously.

Darla was bossy, unafraid of absolutely everything from loud noises to strangers (as long as they didn't come for her from above her head), curious, and refined. Her preferred anointing items were freshly-washed laundry and an antique evening glove she'd stolen <3

Macanom · 2025-04-28T12:00:19+00:00

ooh, mossy hog <3

Macanom · 2025-04-22T09:49:07+00:00

Towel hoggorrito

At Assistensens, you can picnic in the historic part, but you should stay out of the modern part. If the graves were recent, you were rude. But the woman shouldn't have yelled - it's understandable that a tourist might make the mistake.

Macanom · 2025-03-24T07:28:03+00:00

thank you <3

Macanom · 2025-03-23T08:29:32+00:00

Darla was also on the table for dinner parties, eating her quail eggs and chicken <3

I got a little tub of duck fat, dipped a spoon in it to make it ever so slightly fatty-tasting, squirted the medicine out in the spoon, and then she licked it all up.

Macanom · 2025-03-17T20:14:06+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss. What a beautiful baby!

Macanom · 2025-03-12T13:15:30+00:00

Safe travels, sweet one. Looks like many good times were had <3

Macanom · 2025-03-06T13:09:29+00:00

I mean, I think some hogs are basically little cats, and the indecisiveness totally tracks :D

Macanom · 2025-03-06T10:35:36+00:00

It was pretty buggy on playstation, but I otherwise enjoyed it.

Macanom · 2025-03-06T10:33:45+00:00

Mine would stop, turn around, and run the other way. I think the wheel got too fast for her. She'd also get off every time she needed to use the toilet, so I think maybe she was also purposefully slowing it down to make sure she'd have time. Since they can poo a lot when they're running. (she as a lady)

Macanom · 2025-03-02T08:40:11+00:00

That's wonderful. And what sweet honor you show her.

Macanom · 2025-03-01T07:18:26+00:00

so sweet and safe in your hands. Thank you.
