Puck
is very special, because we almost lost him. When we first bought
him, and I asked how to take care of him, we were not given some very
important information about him. He stopped eating and he just slept all
the time. I found out later this was because Hedgehogs need a lot of
heat, and he was going into an unnatural hibernation. This would have
resulted in his death had I not found out what was going on and bought
him a big heating pad for under his tank, and a nutritional supplement
to get him back up to snuff. We were not the only ones who bought a
hedgehog from Puck's litter, but we are the only ones who stuck it out
and nursed him back to health, the rest were returned. We now have a
very healthy, very cute, and very friendly Hedgie. We hope that others
will learn how to care for a hedgehog - or any pet - before bringing one
home. Puck is a very special guy, and we love him.
