Default African pygmy wobbling

He/she is wobbling. I can't figure out why. I might need to feed more insect to it or maybe it may needs more fruit? What could this mean. It was walking fine when I got it. I had it for 4 months and took out today (I do this every week just about) and it was wobbling. It almost feel down. Sorry, I used "it" the whole time.

you need to get him/her to the vets asap there is a disorder with hedgehogs (can't remember the full name) but it's to do with them being wobbly, my friend had to have hers put to sleep a couple of days after she had got him of another forum member as he had got this problem good luck with yours.

as far as i know there are no confirmed cases of WHS in the uk,
you also need a post mortem to confirm it tho, but saying there are no confirmed cases dosnt mean we dont have it here,

there are various reason why your hog could be wobbling,

what set up do you have? what temp you keeping it at? whats the exact diet your feedin? how much,how often etc..... are the hoggies sides sunken? how old is the hoggie? and do you only let it out once a week? does it have a wheel?

when was the last time you checked it was ok?
