Hi, thankyou for advice. It’s the male hog that I’m a bit concerned about. He was in our green house set up for him as natural as possible. He must have been smaller than the original weight ,which was 457 grms 2/11/18 ,but Ithink he was probably 50gr or so lighter, (faulty scales). Then he shot up in weight ( faulty ) scales, then started dropping. New scales went back up to 608 gr but then dropped to 560 gr. I spoke to our hedgehog vet and we agreed to bring him indoors. 560gr when he came in , now 611gr. A bit up & down with eating and doesn’t always leave a poo!
He had a nest in a box , which I have changed as worried that he may be pooing in that etc and the possibility of mites. Was this the right move or should I put back his nest which is still in the box we originally used? He has a new box and bedding. He isn’t out & about in the day. I will take samples to vet, when I find some , hopefully tonight!
