Pick her up Saturday!!

[scythefwd]

I pick up my hedgie Saturday. She is 7 weeks and is quilling, that should make for an interesting ride:) I still have no name for her, but I am looking.

We have Blue Bullalo, and the breeder is using Purina One lite cat food, so we are going to mix that in. I have a huge cage, a 12in silent spinner, aspen bedding (that lived in the deep freeze for about a week to kill any possible mites), a hedgie bag, water dish and bottle, food dish, igloo, tp tube, balls, blanket, and space heater to keep the room at 75-80 during the winter. I just installed a door there too to help with drafts from the other parts of the house. Is there anything I am missing??? We will probably be replacing the Purina One with CSFTLS or Royan Canin (more than likely CSFTLS). We get a bag, and a couple of weeks of food from the breeder when she comes. I also get a book. We have a digital scale that is capable of about 5 lbs, and can measure in oz. so I think we are covered there. I will send pix when I get her home.

Sorry bout the long post.

New babies are so exciting! It sounds like you have it covered. The only other thing I did before my first hedgie came home was made sure I had the name and number of a vet that could care for him if he got sick.

Congrats on the new hedgie! Let us know how she's doing when you get her home, and make sure to post some pictures of the cutie!

She was a doll at the breeder when I picked her up. She would unball for me but not the breeder. She is really huffy now, but she has had a very long and probably stressful day. I took about half an hour to cuddle/hold her tonight, will do the same for about an hour tomarrow. I am thinking of calling her Fiona because she is sweet, cute, and cuddly but has a prickly side (ogre anyone).

cortni<3,
you have no idea... I actually hung a door to keep drafts out of the room she is staying in. I have 2 hedge bags, like 3-4 blankets, and I even put a space heater in the room to keep it a nice 75 in there. The space heater seems to fluctuate between 72 and 78. The temps dont. but the heater does becuause hot air gets trapped by it:)

Fiona it has become. Good to have a name to call her:)
