Hedgehog Breeding/Weighing In

It's been about six weeks since I weighed the hedgehogs before getting them ready to breed. We will follow Mattie who will be a first time mom. Mattie is a beautiful salt and pepper pinto. She is a big girl at about 20 oz. As you can see from the pictures she wanted nothing to do with staying put. You get real fast at reading the numbers before there out of there.

Hedgehogs and Winter

Remember hedgehogs don't do well in temperatures lower then 72 degrees. Make sure your hedgehogs are kept warm by using ceramic heat lamps, nocturnal light bulbs or micro heat disc. Fleece in their nest box is also appreciated.

Welcome to my blog.
