Awww. I take it they live indoors? Do they squeak? Does mum and dad wander about the house, or do they just live in a cage. I love hedgehogs. I remember one in my old back garden and my daughter and I feeding it a piece of ham by hand. (looking back wasn't even sure if they should eat ham) But he seemed to enjoy it

There was a hedgehog that I saw late one night a little while ago. I was on my way to bed and saw it crossing the road (very quiet road only my house opposite it) it came right up my drive and I was that excited I woke my daughter up
to come and see it. I realised I hadn't ssen one since I fed that one in my old garden approx 4 years before! I put some milk out for it but it didn't touch it. It sat and looked at us for a while then just pootled off. Think it was Mrs tiggy winkles

Cat food is the best for them, they particularly love the tinned cat meat

Ohhhhhhh! The albino is beautiful!!! In the last pic he/she looks like he/she is smiling!!!!
Unfortunately Hedgipig (in the pic) passed away as his wounds were too severe, but 'Eggbutnobacon' and 'Humperdink' were both rehabed and released sucessfully! I also had 3 from a centre to over winter as they were too underweight to hibernate, but I didnt name them as I didnt want to get attached, and they werent handled.
Id love a pygmy, but the ones I have seen for sale have been £200 plus, which is out of my price range

Awww, poor hedgepig Thats nice that the others went back into the wild though
APH are very expensive. Im looking for around £150 for these which is the going rate for registered hogs of these colours, but some of the rare colours can go for £3-400!!

Here's some pics of them from today. I had thought they were both girls, but on closer inspection i think the albino might be a boy, certainly seems to have a little boy bit lol
Isnt mum the most precious little thing? I adore her!!

Mum is gorgeous, and the babies seem to be growing quickly! How old do they have to be before they can leave their mum?

She is feeding them constantly, having to feed her SO much to keep her nice and fat and able to look after them, they're like little vampires..!
They need to be about 8 weeks before they go
