Figured the title would get your attention.

Poppy rejected her litter on Thursday 22nd. Since they have been being hand reared which due to hand rearing in hedgehogs being a hit and miss has lowered their chance of survival from great to.....fingers crossed.

Every 2 hours feeding. Its left me tired but they are doing well. Weight is coming along but there was 2 that I was worried about as bloat is a major killer during hand rearing. However I am hoping that they are improving as their weight now matches the rest of the litter.

(the whole litter is being treated for bloat with the only medication out there for hedgehog bloat).

Hazel.



Autumn.



Breeze.



Pumpkin.



Oreo.



And three of the babies sleeping while the others are being fed.

beautiful beautiful babies!!!

Poppy's doing much better without them.
I think because they could now follow her around the viv to eat she got a bit stir crazy.

they are amazing, hope they continue to thrive.. love that licky pic

bless her, shes done very well to even raise them to that stage though! poor little girl, with her age and the condition she was in both her and the bubs have had everything stacked against them from the start

i hope they continue to thrive for you, if any one can raise them i know you can x

Thank you,
I am so very tired but one of the top breeders in the states has assured me they have a fairly good chance if we can avoid bloat.

i know the feeling hun, when i hand raised a chinchilla kit it was feeds every 2 hours around the clock! he used to sleep down my top between feeds, i dont think you would want to do that with a hog though
on the plus side, they are going to be soooo tame
