Good Luck... hope it goes ok... how many days and nights will you be feeding every 2 hours? Sounds like hard work but will be very rewarding when it survives.

Also cannabalism is fairly common in first time hoggie mums.

They are so tiny and have such tiny mouths/throats that they either end up drowning in milk or getting bloat, too much air which gets in their systems and kills them.
The out look isn't always good for orphans like this...But all you can do is your best.

Hi,
I'm sorry if I'm wrong here but it 'seems' as if someone is giving advice where there is no experience. Unless a different kind of hog is owned????? Just a link that you might want to read. Does anyone else have a pygmy hedgehog? I'm sorry if I'm interefering and the poster probably had Egyptians or something but it 'implies'on the thread that the poster hasnt' got hogs yet????? Although thier website says they breed them. Why on a thread yesterday does it say:- " Have you tried these commercially available hedgehog foods like spikes? It's true that people suggest a great deal of foods to offer and you should not worry too much that yours doesnt like everything.taste varies from hog to hog and it's just a matter of finding out which food stuffs your own accepts as when i get mine i will be finding out which things mine prefers. Vary the treats you offer all the time and offer only good quality cat biscuits with a good protein content." I apologise to thehoghut if I'm reading this wrong it just worried me to think someone might be taking advice without experience although I do agree with thier advice in the main. I've only ever hand reared wild hogs.

Firstly let me just say for the presumptous that i do not claim to be anything other than i state.
Secondly i am taking the advise of very well know african pygmy hedgehog breeders and keepers.I do not claim to have a great knowledge of exspirience owning them as yet as my very first one isn't reay to come home yet.But that's not to say i don't have any knowledge.I have a wealth of it and from many sources.And at the end of the day i am trying to help somebody else.And if at the time it seems i at least know something more than the person who created the post i will try to help.And even if i don't i may give an opinion based on what i have learned about them so far. Yes some news on that little one would be great.
