The littlest hedgie

[barton]

So the other day I put a couple of toilet paper rolls in the cage for mommy and babies (who are 5 weeks old now) to play with . I figured the hedgies would try some tubing, and the first one to poke her head in is the littlest one ...the one i posted pics of asking if she was a dwarf, well anyway instead of tubing and thrashing with it on her head she walks right in the tube and out the other side...thats how tiny she is! but she seems to be in great health eating hard food and exploring though she has absolutly no interest in the wheel yet.
anyway just thought i would share because i have just never seen a hedgie quite like her!

She may just be a runt. Dwarfs normally have distinct features (large head, small limbs etc.) Do you have pics? I'd love to see.

She might not like the wheel yet because she is too tiny to move it. Do you think that's it? :)

She sounds absolutely adorable!! :)

I know she is not an actual "dwarf" she is just so tiny, well i tried getting her onto one of the small wheels that i have here but she didnt want that one either but i dont think it is unusual for some hedgies to not be interested yet. I guess i will just have to wait and see what happens! I just wonder what size she will be when she is full grown... I will definatly keep you all up to date and i will post when i get a resent pic of her.
