Hi Hun, have you ever seen your Sparky anoints? Coochie did that yesterday! I read that they have this behaviour before, but can't remember exactly why, so I checked the internet again this morning and found that it's true! Here it says:

Anointing is a possible response that a hedgehog will exhibit when they encounter a smell that they are unfamiliar with. In such an event the hedgehog will possibly bite or chew at the source of the smell, then they will froth at mouth to create a lather. Next they will deposit their foamy saliva on their quills by contorting their bodies. I have seen a many a hedgehog contort their bodies until they fall over, some become so entranced that they become unaware of their surroundings at the time.

Why do hedgehogs anoint

No one is quite sure why hedgehogs anoint. There are many theories out there which try to explain this behavior. A couple of theories are:

The hedgehog is trying to mask their scent to better hide from predators

The foam acts as a toxin to the hedgehog's enemies, causing irritation.

No matter what the real reason is that our spiny friends anoint, it is a perfectly normal behavior, and can be quite amusing to watch.

Yesterday so happened that my 2nd son had stomach pain, so I used the 'Ru Yi' oil to rub his stomach. If you know what is 'Ru Yi' oil, you'll know that it has a very sharp smell. When I went to see Coochie (I was just looking at him, not touching him), immediately he noticed the smell and he anointed. I was so surprised and excited at the same time, he did that twice so I quickly took a photo of him anointing :) I'll share the photo with you next week!

Eee...that's interesting...Sparky put the lather on the grass... Wink

Hedgehogs are very sensitive to noise & smell, he must have sensed something different. Shocked Wah....Hun is good la...she even socialised her hedgehog....yeah, it's so much fun when all the animal lovers gather together with their pets!

Yes, my Sparky does that too. He likes to anoint using grass. Other than that he won't. He also likes to disturb people when he is out in the living room. He went up to my brother and took hold of his shirt and tugged at it. My brother was so surprised hahahaha....

Hedgehogs will anoint using anything. When I first brought him home, he anointed using dogfood. So messy, had to clean him up. After bath, he anointed again with dogfood hahahha... so funny.

Coochie anoints using his saliva leh....I think it must be very funny when Sparky anointed using dogfood & grass TongueShockedCrazyWink

Now Coochie takes food from my hand already coz he knows I'll give him yummy food...He even licks my fingers, got twice he nipped my finger leh...I think he must have thought it's food, luckily not painful, scared me lah.....Does Sparky likes Royal Canin cat food, I noticed Coochie does not like it that much, he eats the Go Natural & Evolve, but always leave the Royal Canin behind Frown

I want to show you pictures of my Star Tortoise, I feel she grows very slowly as compared to my fren's star tort. Enjoy!

Re: [WendyS] what breed of my YaYa?? [In reply to] Can't Post
Ah, when Sparky feels stressed then he will use his saliva... but they anoint themselves with anything, even newspaper so it's pretty ok. But dogfood and grass is gross, he looks brown and then green hahahaha...

Oh, Sparky nipped me twice when I first got him, after that, no more nipping. It's pretty normal for a hedgie to nip a bit but it's not painful and their teeth are too tiny to puncture our skin.

Sparky at first hated Royal Canin, wouldn't touch it but after a while, he ate everything I gave him. Go Natural and Evovle of course taste better to our hedgies coz it's a holistic and has natural flavours.

Wow, your Star is nice. All stars have different growth, as long the shell is healthy and looks fine, it's good enough. I have seen a star that had to much protein in the diet, wah... the shell deformed....

Anyway, I have found a better pellet brand for tortoise, 100% vegetarian and my Mango loves it.

Hehe...how do u know Go Natural & Evolve taste better, you tried them before? TongueShockedWink

Thanks for your compliments! What's the pellet brand? I had given Tao Tao vege pellet before, but she didn't like it, so long time didn't give her pellets already. She eats fresh vege once/twice a day, she is always active in the morning to eat....but if I find her active in the evening like looking for food or sometimes she stays in her food bowl, then I'll feed her again Smile There is one product to make their shells shiny, I wonder whether it's good, do you use that?

BTW, what do you feed your dogs? Can introduce your dogs to me here? I went to the RDO last Sunday, I wanted to meet you guys, but can't recognise any dogs. Thought of calling you also, but because I went with my family somemore w/out dogs, I didn't call lah.....Frown

Re: [WendyS] what breed of my YaYa?? [In reply to] Can't Post
Yup, I tasted hahah... but it's also the ingredients. Very hard to say how it taste like but it's like eating cream crakers with the smell of meat. Catfood tend to have a sourish after taste... funno why hahahaha....

The pellet brand is Exo Terra adult tortoise food. I give also the calcium supplement for tortoise along with and extra mineral and vitamin D3 supplement once a week. My Mango also loves to eat fresh vege, will get a whole plate full in the morning and during the evening she's normally asleep for the day. She sleeps in a shallow hole she dug and will sleep with her head tucked one side.

I used to feed my dogs home cooked food but now meat is costly and 3 large dogs eat a lot. They are now under a premium brand... Best Choice dogfood and they also get a side of rice. Oh, I went to RDO and brought me Tammy, a lab. I didn't know if you were going hahahah... my friend brought your Coochie's sister I think. Very cute prickly ball.

Heh Heh...I've guessed already, you sure tasted the catfood!

You give so much supplements to Mango, sure she looks very beautiful! I have mineral supplements for Tao Tao, but I don't give very frequent, I feel she doesn't like it so much after I sprinkle it to her food.

Wow, your friend brought hedgehog to RDO, but I guess she/he didn't let the hedgehog to walk around the park with so many dogs around, right? How is the Best Choice dogfood, is it good? I mean does it really make a difference between premium & super premium? I'd like to cut down my cost on dog food if I can.

Re: [WendyS] what breed of my YaYa?? [In reply to] Can't Post
Hahaha... I taste what I think is safe to taste. I even tried canned food.

Actually, the supplement only started last year, with the extra mineral and vitamin only this year when I found it and bought it. The brand is also Exo Terra, they have the largest variety for reptiles now. There is Sera brand, but hard to find for reptiles, I see mostly for fish.

Yup, she brought in a small tank. Had to keep under shade so she wasn't let to roam about heheh... also too many dogs. Next time when have small dog parties I'll tell you so you can bring Coochie to socialise. I normally bring Sparky to all small dog parties I attend.

Actually, premium brands and super premium is all about the ingredients. It's not completely natural like some holistic food. The key to know if the dogfood is good is to look at the ingredients, the first ingredient listed should be a meat product. Avoid dogfood with by products and meal as the first ingredient listed. Also, avoid dogfood with corn meal, corn glutten, rice meal and any cereals shouldn't be 1st ingredients. So far my dogs ok lah... the food is way better than the supermarket brands I used to try long time ago.

Ok, will try to look out for that brand. The one I bought was Sera. Smile

Thanks, can sms me when you have such gathering. But I wonder, do hedgehogs like to socialise with other animals? What will the hedgehog do when he meet another hedgehog or another animals? Hehe, my question would sound very silly coz I never let coochie to see my other pets. So far my puppy didn't try to touch it when she sees him sleeping in the box, but I think she would want to play with him or bark if she sees him walking/running.Crazy
