Is he fat? - 2007/04/06 23:18
My husband and I argue over the size of our hedgehog. He is what I believe to be fully grown at almost 8 months? Fully grown yet? He is healthy and wheels every night (I know as I have to clean the wheel daily!!!) and doesn't have very many treats at all. We put Pepper on the scale (kitchen) and he weighs 600g. is that a lot for a 8 month old healthy male? And yes he can fully ball up in a tight ball....proven every time he hears my husbands voice....

I've had a couple of boys who went through a big growth spurt around 8 or 9 months so if he just grew alot and is eating incredible amounts of food it may be a growth spurt. If he looks good and can roll up, 600 g is fine.

If he can ball fully, then he's doing just fine. Different hedgehogs will vary in weight depending on size, but the ball test is a constant.

My boys won't ball up tight anymore. Don't know how I would know except that neither one looks fat. LOL

The bubble tea is a new addition... Kelly was evil LONG before she started on it. I think it had something to do with her being born..... Becca

Besides, poking Herb in the nose would only get me a handful of visor quills and Snow would just stand there and look at me like what was that for?LOL.
