To each their own........


I don't see small multi story shelves as a problem, that's all I ever used. The quills are there for two reasons, for protection from predators and for protection when they fall. They quills cushion them. Plus my hedgies have never fallen off one of their levels. We all know hedgies love to climb, so even if the cage isn't multi story the risk of falling is there anyway.

Wouldn't use Iams anyway, since they are a horribe horrible company! Where did you hear Ethoxyquin was fatal for hedgies? Has any tests been done on this? I don't use anything preserved with that for any of my animals.

Still woundn't use a dish, it's way too digusting and I don't want to risk them crapping in it while I'm at work. That's just grose!

Aquariums are fine if they are big. They get as much ventilation as the sterilite tubes do. Their the same thing, just one is plastic and one is glass. What's the difference?

When I said they don't eat just cat food, I meant that they need a high quality cat food, not just any old brand off the shelf. As far as not adjusting to a schedule, most hedgehogs seem to do that pretty well. Granted they will sleep during the day yes, but if you want to take them out, most don't hesitate, at least none that I have ever owned, nor any of my friends. In fact, Speedy the first was a totally day hedgie. He wanted nothing to do with the night whatsoever, besides sleep!


Have your read the ingredients for Felidae? Um, Chicken Soup and Felidae have the same ingredients lol, and so does Innova, which is far better than Nutro! Trust me, the vet I work with went to school for 2 extra years just to study nutrition.

And yes most text books refer to it as "anting" or annointing. Not all have heard anting before, but that doesn't mean people don't use that word. Now I feel Royal Canin sucks, YUCK! But again, to each their own.
