Signs of illness in hedgehogs and other exotic pets can be subtle and hard for owners to notice until they become obvious, which is generally when the illness is too advanced to treat successfully.
If a board-certified in exotic mammal medicine veterinarian is not located in your area, try to find a vet with extensive experience with non-traditional animals.
As hedgehogs can be very difficult to examine due to their balling up habit, they will likely require light sedation, so you will certainly want a vet experienced with anesthetizing smaller animals. Unfortunately, cancer is a uniquely prevalent problem in hedgehogs.
Tumors are most often reported in the mouth and gastrointestinal tract, but they can occur anywhere in the body. The chance of finding a tumor increases as your pet ages; this typically starts around 3 years old. Other symptoms can include weight loss, lethargy, and anorexia. While treatment can be attempted, the cancer is typically incurable at this stage. In addition to tumors of the mouth, hedgehogs can get dental disease which can lead to or exasperate other health problems.
Periodontal disease, also prevalent in many popular pets like dogs and cats, is caused by buildup of plaque underneath the gum line, and over time, this can be a window for bacteria to enter the body and cause more severe problems like heart disorders. There are many places to acquire a hedgehog since they are relatively popular for an exotic pet.
This means that they are sometimes available in pet stores. In uncommon cases, some hedgehogs may even be available for adoption, so be sure to check small animal rescues or sites like Petfinder. Hedgehogs come in different colorations which will cause them to vary in price.
The diet for your hog will be a commercial hedgehog food or a high protein, low fat cat food with supplements of insects, cooked unseasoned meat, veggies and fruits that can be used as treats.
Be careful to not over feed your hog. Obesity is a health hazard and can lead to liver issues. Housing a hedgehog is not elaborate. They do best in a wire cage that has a top. The bigger the cage, the better. In the wild a hedgehog may travel miles in search of food so the more exercise time or larger cage the happier hedgehog you will have.
You can also include an exercise wheel in the cage that many but not all hedgehogs will utilize it. Just make sure that you get a solid wheel and not one with a wire run surface. The floor of the cage needs to be solid so that they will not get their little toes caught or any foot issues. You can have a multilevel cage but make sure all ramps are solid and that the levels are not high up.
A hedgehog has poor eyesight and may fall from wired ramps. A comfortable environment temperature will be from 70 degrees to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Now a hedgehog is not an animal that will go into hibernation naturally. So if the body temperature is dropped it can be fatal to the hog. If you are worried about the temperature being too cold then purchase a reptile heat source to keep your hog warm. Hogs do like dark spaces to sleep in.
You can purchase a hedgehog tent, blanket or a house for them to sleep in. Another item you may want to include in the cage is a litter box. Some hedgehogs will train to using the litter box, but there are ones that will decide to use another area of the cage. Hedgehogs are generally hardy healthy animals. But there are a few health issues that you should be aware for to watch out for. These would be low body temperature, diarrhea and vomiting, respiratory illness, shock, mange, ringworm, fleas, ticks and maggots.
If you suspect your hog having any of these, please contact a veterinary that has knowledge in hedgehogs. Are Polar Bears Kept as Pets? Caring for and Buying Pet Baby Otters. Can Fossas Be Pets?
