Morning Star Hedgehogs

This beautiful little girl has one indifferent personality. It takes her a few minutes to start coming around . I'm certain in the right home she will be won over and a great companion pet. She would do better with an owner that knows hedgehogs and a better fit for an adult owner.

Sometimes the best laid plans don’t work out as you expected. This beautiful girl, Shelomi, had her first litter four little ones. I want to check on her and she had one of them have destroyed in half eaten in her mouth.

As a breeder, you need to make a decision do you leave the babies with mom in hopes that she doesn’t think that they are all snacks and within 24 hours begins to properly care for them? Or do you pull the babies that are remaining and place some with another mom to foster? That can also be a risk if the foster mom does not accept the babies not only can she kill all of the babies you put in there, but she could destroy her own litter.

Espinete had babies a day or two before Shelomi. Epinete has been a mom before and a very good one and has even fostered. So I took the chance. I moved three babies into the nest where Espinete already had three babies.

By that evening, we went from six babies to five… sparing you all of the details. We are now at three babies, and they are all doing well ironically only one of Espinetes remains the other two belong to Shelomi

Two other pairings did not produce a pregnancy… so now I am behind in my breeding program. I will not over breed my girls. I will try to catch up with the next pairings.

This girl is so beautiful and I am so disappointed in her as a first time mom. Maybe the second time will go better.
