My friend decided to give up his hedgehog, which he had for almost a year or two I think. He's not even sure. It's been living on cat food and water. The cage is extremely stinky and I find it quite small or thin. I'm not sure though if they really are this size?
I got hold of it this evening, threw out the stinky metal case and gave it a bath. I was so scared of hurting myself but I think I got it right. Lukewarm water, baby shampoo, toothbrush and rubber gloves I put it temporarily in a plastic container (similar to a huge tupperware) with water and cat food. I also included strips of shredded paper.
Here's where I need help everyone! I work a full time job and have 2 dogs. How can I nurture this hedgehog back? I'm bringing it to the vet this weekend but until then, what would I feed it? Should the strips of paper work well? Do I need to get it a wheel and tunnels?
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated! TIA!
