She is so silly 🥹

Piper just got her first bath and nail trim. She was not impressed. After she pooped about 3 times, I took her out (making sure she didn’t step in the poop) and while I did her nails, she decided she was done with the pampering and peed all over me. I guess Piper told me she was not happy and to leave her feet alone. You gotta love their spunk.

Just thought that I would post some pics of my little fella if anyone needs cheering up.

Obligatory Fritter picture

But anyways. When Fritter went to the vet, she said breeder mixes (food) aren’t reliable and we should switch him onto Mazuri.

I know she’s the vet, but I’ve looked at the ingredients in his food, I highly doubt it’s causing him harm, and there’s nothing to prove otherwise. I however do trust her word, especially since we saw her for other animals too, so I’m trying to go 50/50 with the food. He won’t eat the Mazuri food 🫩

I’ve been putting in half of his normal amount of food and the rest is Mazuri, he sits there sifting through the food to find his other food 😭

At the moment I don’t intend to fully switch over, but clearly he isn’t interested in any change to his diet 😓 how else should I go about this?

Ive got a hedgehog of my own

Hello,
this is not the usual cute pictures of hedgehogs but I am looking for advice.
My sweet girl had a hair tourniquet around her leg, causing tissue damage. She likely will need an amputation (as advised by ER vet) and I have an appointment set up for an exam early morning. I do not have any insurance for her, and I am wondering what I could do to help offset the costs? I have called around and asked for estimates, applied to RedRover and will apply to Frankie’s Friends. I also reached out to sanctuaries to see what they can do.
TIA
edit: i set up a gofundme https://gofund.me/7bc8c13ea

I got him earlier today and he has been sitting there since we got home. Do i let him get acclimated? Do i hold him for a bit?

The che on the right barley seems to heat up the area beyond a few inchez, and most of the enclosure seems to be in the high sixties. Do i need heat mats or something?

Edit: we got another lamp and increased the wattage

I can put the CHE directly above the enclosure, but they like a warm and cool side right?

My sweet girl had a hair tourniquet around her foot leading to some tissue damage. I am a full-time student and part time server, so I could use a little help from my community to cover any medical expenses, including exams, x-rays, medications, and surgery. I have talked to some hedgehog sanctuary specialists who believe that reese’s puff might be able to save her leg. I am taking her to an exotic pet hospital tomorrow for updates on x-rays and further information about next steps. any and all donations are so very appreciated and support or advice would be great!
Thanks in advance!
