Pregnant hedgehog....

Incase you dont know her story.
Poppy the hedgehog's thread!

Yup she's pregnant...we knew that her owner had mated her but hoped she wouldnt have taken. Turns out she has...shes HUGE!

She's currently using a shoe box as her nest in her viv while my granddad makes her a wooden house.

I managed to sneak a picture of her yesterday, laying in her nesting position.


I have my hand rearing kit ready incase. I just hope she manages okay.

Re: Pregnant hedgehog....

Thanks guys'

I have started giving her more additions to her diet as she's pretty much due this week.

Yesterday she had scrambled egg with goats milk and today mince meat.

I am hoping for 1 or 2 because I am happy to keep both.
But I just pray her body can handle it.
I would not be upset if she killed the litter.
