Hedgie babies & food??

[sonic&sonia]

hi, I was just wondering, for all those people that have already had hedgie babies............. is there anything specific I can buy and feed the new born hoglets or does the mother take care of everything? :confused: If anyone has any concerns or comments please feel free to share with me thank you!

Hi there~
As long as mom is being fed a high quality food, she will take care of all of the hoglet's. Make sure she has dry food and clean water available at all times.

also, to answer your questions about posting, read this thread. It will explain it :)

No, hedgies do produce milk to nurse the offspring. Most are weaned around 6 weeks of age and are interested in the wetted down dry kibble.
