Hedgehog is gentle, and some species are only slightly larger than the palm of your hand, so some people in Australia and Britain keep it as a pet. Ordinary hedgehogs are not easy to keep as pets. As a pet, hedgehog is a hybrid of common hedgehog and African "four-toed hedgehog". They don't hibernate, they are small and not cold-resistant.
Hybrid hedgehogs raised at home can be fed with their own feed and mixed with meat residue, grain, by-products and vegetables in proportion. In addition, caterpillars, beetles, snails, earthworms and other small animals and fruits can also be fed. Hedgehogs are sensitive to lactose, so they should not be fed dairy products.
Hedgehogs have strong adaptability, few diseases and no infectious diseases, and will not bite people at will. Generally can survive for 4-7 years. As long as the feeding management and sanitary measures are proper, hedgehogs rarely get sick, and they can generally be treated with corresponding human drugs.
Common diseases of hedgehogs include gastroenteritis, dermatophytosis and ascariasis. Hedgehog suffering from gastroenteritis, with dull spines, weakness in walking, diarrhea and refusal to eat, can reduce the feed amount, feed oxytetracycline, grind one tablet each time and mix it with the feed, feed it three times a day, or inject gentamicin; Hedgehog suffering from beriberi, peeling off white dander, can be coated with ringworm cream, skin cream, or trichlorfon after soaking tobacco with esters for 24 hours (grinding and mixing evenly); Hedgehogs suffer from ascariasis, loss of appetite and lethargy, so they can be fed to ascaris nets. For hedgehogs without ascariasis, deworming should be done twice a year to ensure the healthy growth of hedgehogs and improve their fertility.
Check whether the hedgehog is strong, see the luster of the thorn, see the fullness of the body, and see the tightness of the thorn. The thorns are shiny, the body is symmetrical and plump, and the thorns are elastic and suitable, indicating that they are strong, disease-free and fertile.
