This sweet baby likes it when I pet her head. ❤️❤️❤️
I'm hoping to have babies in time for Christmas, folks!
When I'm cleaning cages, I fill a smaller bin with Feline Pine. I put the hedgies in there one by one to keep them out of trouble while I'm at work. I came out to Bear doing this. 🙄
Sometimes they do stupid things. 😒
Very cute, but stupid.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!
Momma Godiva had her hoglets, the first of the year, born 1/26!
I'm seeing five little heads but I don't like to count my hedgehogs until about three weeks. A lot can happen between now and then. Sometimes I need to help mom rear a hoglet or two for various reasons, and these babies don't always make it, no matter how hard I try. momma is always best.
Here are the cuties on Hogcam nursing. Godiva is such a good mom. Most hedgehogs aren't keen on letting babies swarm them like that this early in their lives. She always makes sure each hoglet is warm, properly fed and toileted.
For those of you interested in hedgehog maternal behavior, you can see Mom toileting one of the hoglets towards the middle to end of this video. This is rarely found on film due to the protective, nervous nature of mother hedgehogs, who'll throw a fit if you disturb their nest, let alone bothering them in this intimate setting caring tenderly for her babies. A hidden camera keeps Mom none-the-wiser that she's being monitored for her and her babies' health and wellness as they grow.
If you're interested in making one of these amazing creatures a part of your family, please PM me. All hoglets come from high quality, pedigreed lines with full WHS guarantee and six months congenital health guarantee. Each goes home with a baggie of food and my number for lifetime support, whenever you need it.
Please PM me if interested, or if you just have questions about hedgehogs. I'll be happy to answer them.
