Thankyou Gweebles for your reply. How did your hedgie hurt his eyes? What do you use in your cage if you don't use shavings? Your reply gives me hope that I might be able to someday get my hedgie back. I wonder if they will give him back to me ,Or charge me for his care,or outright for the cost of a new hedgie. Everything was handled vocally and nothing on paper as far as my giving him to them. I have been working 12hr shifts for the last three days and have not been able to check on him in the last couple of days. I will update everyone on his condition as soon as I can . Thankyou again for everyone's input
