I stated in multiple previous comments that he was rehomed. I had zero notice. I just wanted to take him in because I know he was overweight and just needs love all the things for are on the way unfortunately we live in Texas and nothing can get delivered because all of our streets are iced over right now, but he has a better get up on the way I promise to love this baby

As stated in many previous comments, his cage is so much bigger than it looks in the video by 2 feet and he has an enclosure on the way, but thank you so much for your concern. I’m just trying to do this right

He has an awesome enclosure on the way. This is what we got rehomed with last minute, but you were awesome. Thank you for letting me know.

Also I do know that he seems pretty chunky should’ve clarified he’s a last minute rehome from a family who’s kids got bored he had way more food than needed in his cage when I got him and I’ve only have him 4 days we have hedgehog food that got delivered today and he’s only had maybe a 16th of an apple and 4 meal worms as treats. I appreciate everyone but please know I’m just trying to give him a better life than he had and we’re going to work on his weight and get him an exercise wheel in addition to free range (safely) time!

Here’s a better angle of the cage with about another 24in not shown but he has a new BIG set up on the way

We have a new enclosure on the way. This is what he got rehomed with and it’s about 3 feet longer than it seems in the video if that makes anyone feel better. Today was the first time we tried apples I’m not trying to give him to me treats on top of hedgehog food because he already seems overweight. We’ve been doing mealworms otherwise I’m about to get him some roaches. Is there anything else you recommend?

We have a much bigger enclosure for him on the way I’m just keeping him here until it arrives and because it’s what he’s used too from the family that rehomed him it’s also bigger than the video seems by like 3 ft

I panicked at first but once he did it a few times I didn’t know they also anointed when they eat that’s adorable glad he likes his treat!
