Click here to see the profile of this user 		Horny Baby - 2007/07/30 20:00 Hi all
I have a 4 wk old male that is trying to "get busy" with his mom and his male siblings (yes they are all male siblings). If he were a bit older I wouldnt hesitate to pull him and put him in his own cage but he is still such a peanut. Need some advice here thanks Julie Pierce

He is just 4 wks old today and typically he would wean at 6 wks. I decided to pull him out and put him in his own cage and supplement him with puppy formula. Julie Pierce

Click here to see the profile of this user 		Re:Horny Baby - 2007/07/31 11:00 I've had a similar situation although I waited until 5 weeks to pull him and no one was preggers including mom. He may be trying at this age but it's doubtful he'll be big enough to mount or reach if he's just a little guy. I know of a litter with just one male hoglet that started that and was pulled earlier but he was quite big for his age being the only hoglet in the litter. If he's willing you should offer him some crushed kibble too.

Click here to see the profile of this user 		Re:Horny Baby - 2007/08/01 09:56 Yes he has been having crushed kibble and I have been offering puppy formula with ferretvite but the little bugger wont take it. His "pee-pee" is ummm still on the short side compared to an adult hedgehog and Momma is a ginormous female so chances are he wouldnt be able to impregnate her BUT he is making such a menace of himself that someone is gonna bite him..hahahahhaha. They spend their whole time running away from "casanova".... Julie Pierce
