Litchi is not gaining weight anymore

[FiaSpice]

Since 3 weeks, Litchi is still weighting 230 grams. We gave her couple mealies and she always has food and some extra (spinash and hay for this week). Sould I be concern? She is really active and she come from a big litter (5 other bros and sis), the breader said she might be a small girl.

I wouldn't be to concerned unless she is losing weight-- some hogs just gain slower than others--

what are you feeding her? It might have something to do with her diet-- Your feeding her Hay? What kind of hay? :confused: As far as I know Hedgehogs don't eat hay! Spinach is ok for her, but remember not to much, as to much may make her sick.

Hedgehogs don't eat hay. I know some of the breeders in Quebec recommend it, in fact it was recommended on the CHA site at one time for nursing moms. :dunno:

I can't even imagine a hedgehog would eat hay.

Litchi is on RC Babycat 34. Well, litchi seem to eat a bit of Timoty hay, witch was recomended by my breader and on the herisson.qc.ca website. If it's not nescessesary, I will stop giving it to her. For the spinash, we only give her some little piece witch she adore and she didn't anointed (sp?) and didn't got green/smooshy poop.
