New Pet Day

Sign in to disble this ad
Meet Chili Martinez, the newest addition to our family!

We got him from my bandleader the other day. It was his former bassists/girlfriends. She left him for some dude and abandoned this little guy, so we took him in. His name was patchouli, but now he's Chili Martinez, former 3rd baseman for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

His cage is like a 3 story hotel. And he's got an awesome wood box to hide in and chew on. From the angle of the pic, you can barely see his expansive empire!

All I can tell you is don't get those plastic balls that they can climb in to hide. They make excellent serving plates for small dogs.

No small dogs in my house! And my cat is still fearful of the little critter! But those plastic balls are chinchilla deathtraps! Poor little thing would overheat and have a stroke.

Well, he lives on the first floor, and my personal practice space is upstairs. But, when we practiced in our bandleaders bedroom he was okay with it. They actually like noise, and I read that they like to watch TV.

Yeah; if you don't clean out the cage daily. They can be somewhat of a chore,...we used fleece as a cage liner and had to have a set for each day. I don't like loose particles substrate for furries and for herps I only like the coco fiber substrate and even then we use paper towels for our leos.

Hedgies can get or come with mites as well so, be aware. They are hard to see with the naked eye.

That hedgehog was grouchy though so we actually rehomed that her to a nice lady with MS who already had a hedgie and could devote more time to her and hopefully socialize her a bit better. I'd like another one though.
