Bizziedogs: Hi thanks for the info. Love the pictures aswell - so cute

Erin: It is pretty expensive but I will be saving up for about one or two years so should hopefully get enough money

There is a breeder about 10 minutes away from my home so i might get in touch with her for some more information

bizziedogs sadly i cant quite tell from those pictures what he is.
on a note though, the cage hes in isnt suitable for an APH, they shouldnt have bared cages as they can really hurt them selves in them

Erin Loves Dwarf Hamsters, the long eared hogs kept as pets are the Egyptian and the Indian, and yep, the ELEH are common in cyprus

AngelAmes, out of interest where abouts in sheff are you located? wheres the breeder? theres a breeder in maltby that i wouldnt touch with a barge pole, i got my first girl off her and sadly lost her to WHS

if you want to see pictures of my boys

They are so cute!! I was seriously thinking of getting harvest mice as a new addition but am being lured into the world of the pygmy Hogg!!! They are beautiful

Lil Miss · 06-07-2012, 01:25 PM

APH are certainly easier then harvest mice

they also have a longer life expectancy

hi how exactly can they hurt them selfs? he has been in this cage over 2 years and i havnt seen any injuries on him? am worried now that he may have injuries i cant see?

hedgies can climb wire bars, an if they do they can fall and hurt them selves rather badly, including breaking legs
the use of them is not recommended at all
this thread has some amazing set up ideas for hoggies
Set ups (pic heavy)

Hi tiggy has never tried to climb so dont think this is much of a problem the only thing he ever does is run on his wheel havnt even seen him stretch to reach the bars its just not something he does, his back legs wouldnt allow him to stretch to the bars, this picture doesnt really show how high the nearest bar is. thankyou for the concern and i will let my sister know

I have to admit, I've been browsing that thread and it's making me want to add hedgehogs to the "animals I want to keep" list

I think the boyfriend would kill me though

My list already includes cats, dogs, chickens, hamsters and horses

Lil Miss: I was actually talking about my home in west Sussex. There is a breeder in burgess Hill

Your hedgehogs are so cute

Arraminta: yes get a hedgehog. After our chat today did I convince you?

I have had a look at some of the set ups in that thread and they look great. One thing I was wondering about... Why are all the wheels in trays?
