I make her a nice bowl of meaty pie, with mushed up chicken with jelly dog food, mixed with spikes semi moist and Go Cat chicken and duck cat biscuits – it goes down a treat, so no wonder she’s putting on weight rapidly

Is it possible that a hedgehog can put on 35 grams within 2 nights? or are my scales dodgy? Or unless the are showing the correct weight now, and the wrong weight when I initially weighed her.

Gonna weigh out 35g of sugar and see how much it is.

I’ve just witnessed her climb on the ledge – I think she’s doing it to look out of her cage, and probably try see if she can escape no doubt.

I did buy her a sleeping pouch, the only one Pets at Home had was for a hamster and was a santa claus hat – turns out it’s too small for her.

The hedgehog rescue uses sleeping bags/pouches for the hedgehogs, but at the moment all she would do is poo on it, so I think you’d have to buy a few and wash it on a hot wash every day, until they are pooping solid poos. But for now, a cardboard box, lined with puppy mat, and some straw in is doing okay for a sleeping area, she seems to like it in there.
