who has the biggest APH?

[fantapants]

just been doing some regular maintenance and i decided to weigh my hogs. all of my females weigh in between 350-450g........and then i have Desiderata the superhog! she is a massive 650g and isnt even fat . she can curl into a ball fine and is just a BIG girl. my last male hog, Mort, was just 220g and was a little pocket rocket, the ladies loved him!

so how big are your hogs?

We used to have one that was only slightly smaller than a British hedgehog, but sold him. Hogzilla, we called him. He was our one's son, but there was only one baby in the litter, so he grew and grew and grew!!

I have an albino female who weighs in at 550g-600g...she isnt fat either and quite healthy. When she was pregnant earlier this year she weighed 756g just before she gave birth to her 3 hoglets!! Her babies are following in her footsteps too...

I have a male who at last weigh in was about 650g though I wouldn't be surprised if he's bigger now Ironically he was the smallest in the litter but I fell in love and kept him anyway.

I bet that was hilarious - his poor mother!! She probably struggled to produce enough milk for the greedy .

I wish we'd weighed him before we sold him!!

Just weighed Sparky - He is 8 months old now and weighs 300 gms.

I always thought he was quite chubby but I guess not.

They're still pygmy compared to our native hedgehogs, who often weigh over 1kg. Most APH don't reach the minimum hibernation weight of our native hedgehogs (approx 600g).

Anyway I weighed my boy to see how much he is. The answer is... 733g as of today. I also tried to take a photo but he was more interested in following me around and playing as usual so this is the best I could get:
