How to raise newborn hedgehogs?
1, suitable nest.

For hedgehogs, a shoe box is just like a nest.

Put a soft cloth inside, and then put a low-calorie heating pad on it. Hedgehogs need a heat source because they can't generate heat by themselves.

2. the right food.

Don't feed milk, because hedgehogs are lactose intolerant and will have indigestion. You can use kittens instead of milk or goat milk.

If you want to use kittens instead of milk powder, you should add some chrysanthemum tea to prevent flatulence and help digestion.

3, the correct feeding method.

Tie the mouth and the hedgehog's lips together with a needle and squeeze a drop for it to inhale. Don't drink more than two or three mouthfuls of milk, or if you feed too much, you will be hurt if you are not careful. Feed them every 2-3 hours, or call them first if you hear them screaming.

note:

1, hedgehogs have strong adaptability, few diseases, no infectious diseases, and will not bite people at will. Generally can survive for 4-7 years. As long as the feeding management and sanitary measures are proper, hedgehogs rarely get sick, and they can generally be treated with corresponding human drugs.

2. Hybrid hedgehogs raised at home can be fed with their own feed, including meat residue, grain and by-products, vegetables, etc. In proportion. In addition, caterpillars, beetles, snails, earthworms and other small animals and fruits can also be fed. Hedgehogs are sensitive to lactose, so they should not be fed dairy products.

Precautions for raising hedgehogs:

1. Hedgehog is a sensitive animal. As long as it is scared, the hedgehog will react immediately. We must arrange a quiet place for our hedgehog, which is suitable for hedgehog's living habits.

We should try our best to make the hedgehog's cabin as comfortable as possible. Little hedgehog's nest is suggested to be wider and higher, and it is best to spread straw inside, because the elasticity of straw is very suitable for little hedgehog, so I suggest you find some straw.

Hedgehog is a sleepy animal. Generally speaking, almost all hedgehogs like sleeping when they can see, so I try not to disturb hedgehogs at ordinary times. Generally, evening is the best time to communicate with your hedgehog. Everyone should pay attention to this.
