:smitten: Oh My Gosh, that has to be one of the cutest things EVER :main_yes: Congrats on the new addition to your family!!

What do they eat?

 

[Jenn]

high quality dry cat food for a staple. They also like mealies, fruits and canned cat food as a treat only.

 

[DoubleZ]

Awwww. My girl was so tiny, makes yours look massive.

 

[Bling_my_leo]

He's adorable.

I read that cat food isn't good as a staple, but a hedgehog diet is preferred. They sell actual hedgehog pellets.

Hedgehog Diet and Nutrition

I've been looking into getting a hedgehog, but not while I'm still at home, mostly bc they're illegal in GA last I heard. When I move to AL, I'll be getting one.

how do you hold him???

 

[Jenn]

his quills are not as sharp as they look plus my hands are used to him.
