Life with a hedgehog? What could be better? Well here's the catch, as with anything worthwhile in life there are ups and downs being a hedgie owner, but in the end it is completely worth it. This blog was created to share my thoughts, joys, and frustration with keeping one of these prickly pets.

Ongoing Skin Battle
Phinneus's skin is STILL dry and flaky. I was getting really worried that it was the symptom of mites or something worse, but after some researching and question asking, I think it is simply the curse of the pet hedgehog to have dry skin. I have been adding flax seed oil to Phin's food every other day, and yesterday he had another oatmeal bath. He was not pleased...but now his quills shine and his fur is white and fluffy!
