I believe that many people like the prickly and soft and cute African mini hedgehog, but do not know how to raise, so they gave up this idea.
Next, Xiaobian teaches you a few points to do to feed African mini hedgehogs.
01 Give the hedgehog a quiet shelter from the light
First of all, the hedgehog is a timid animal like a small rabbit. The noisy environment is very unfavorable to the growth of hedgehogs, and once there is any wind and grass, they will be nervous, so it is essential to give the little hedgehog a quiet shelter.
Secondly, the living habits of the little hedgehog are day and night, so when arranging the shelter of the little hedgehog, we must pay attention to it, do not put the little hedgehog under strong light, so that the little hedgehog will be very uncomfortable.
02 Try to be close to the hedgehog after 6 p.m
Because hedgehogs are very timid, most of the time, hedgehogs are only active at night, so try not to disturb hedgehogs during the day.
If you really want to play with hedgehogs, choose after six o'clock in the evening, because they are very typical nocturnal animals and do not like to hang out during the day.
03 Hedgehogs are omnivorous animals and are simple to feed
Compared with ordinary hedgehogs, African mini hedgehogs are small, have a good body and are easy to feed. Their diet is very simple, general vegetables and fruits, insect meat are available as their food.
However, it is best to pay attention to food diversification when feeding, and do not feed one food every day, so that the nutrition will be balanced.
04 Use 37 degrees of warm water when bathing and wash 3 times with a brush
All little pets have to take a bath, and our little hedgehog is no exception. When bathing a small hedgehog, be sure to pay attention to warm water of 37 degrees, the hedgehog's skin is very sensitive, too cold and too hot water will cause irritation to the hedgehog's skin.
When the little hedgehog first bathes, it is easy to pull the poop in the water, so the first time the water should not be left, the second time it starts to demagnetize the little hedgehog with a brush to bathe, and the last time it can be rinsed with warm water.
05 In the summer, the little hedgehog must be cooled
The little hedgehog is more afraid of heat, and in the summer, remember to cool it down and avoid placing it in a place where the sun is full and the sun is direct.
Add more water to the little hedgehog, be careful not to give tap water directly to it to drink, try to be pure mineral water and cool white.
Pay attention to these five points, you can also have a soft cute and healthy little hedgehog.
