I don't have baby mitsio experience, so I wouldn't know. (I didn't get my Zaphod til he was about 9 months old I believe.) but comparing his colour with my faly's colour at 2 months, I think he's doing great. You're going to notice a lot of changes and phases, though, at least i did, even though...
Wish I had seen this early enough to enter - Zaphod has been doing some pretty entertaining drinking poses this last month, standing up on his tippy toes to lick from the mister puddle on the top screen. Lol.
It's not a good gutload period, but I wouldn't panic specifically about the "high levels of animal proteins" in a bone shaped dog biscuit, because sadly any biscuit cheap enough for the store to waste on bugs, doubtfully has much if any animal protein in it. Most of those milkbone type biscuits...
Ok good, thanks so much Sandra. I feel relieved. :) It must have just been the angle he was sitting at the other day, I actually thought it looked fine yesterday too, I just wasn't sure I guess I was just feeling paranoid when I saw the sperm plug thing happening a second time in only a week...
Hey guys. So, yeah. What the title says.
So, last last weekend (two Fridays ago) i found my little Zelig had some pretty long dried up sperm plugs going on, and I eased them out for him - one slid right out super easy, the other one was a little more stuck, took a little but more pulling...
What I'd love to do (except I'm not the least bit crafty, and I'm not sure how I'd arrange drainage) is to make a shorter but super long cage that would kind of run all along the tops of my walls, all around the room. Sort of like a free range vine path type of thing, only I can't free range...
Not necessarily, some hedgehogs just plain don't want to be handled. So they will continue to huff up regardless of how long or how gently you've been trying. They're by nature an independent, solitary species, not prone to company or snuggling, so you have to keep that in mind and adjust your...
Well, I suppose that's true of any animal, but it doesn't seem to be particularly common to hedgehogs, as far as I've read. Astrid is anything but aggressive. But, she also came from a breeder who made a point of frequent handling. I think their natural tendency is to be scared and their usual...
You make some good points about reasons for not putting name and address, and i understand the hesitation to provide all your contact info, however I usually encourage people to
1) include their address - for the main reason that several times in the past I have caught loose dogs by the...
Sorry thanks for asking, I thought I replied last night, must not have sent.
Anyways, I was out of the house most of the day yesterday but they seemed ok, except they were both sleeping in different spots from their usual, but their cage decorations had gotten shaken up a bit and weren't...
So I woke up this morning to find both the cages knocked over (I hate my cat) and so after I woke up my son to help me right them, we spent some calm quality time holding them for a bit u til we all settled down.
Only to find little Zelig with two huge crusty sperm plugs going on. Lol, ew.
I...
Great, pretty soon she'll find another and another and she'll be all obsessed, you'll have to move again so you can build a room for her 30 new chameleon dog toys....
