Food Allergies?

Mom and I wanted to share a really great article we read together (ok.. maybe she did the reading and I just stared at the screen...) about hedgehog food allergies. Mom has been reading up on a whole lot so that she can be as informed as possible when she and Huey visit the vet to talk about the bumps and scabs on his face and legs.

All hedgie owners, or to be owners should read this article from Hedgies.com:

Mom really wishes she had read this sooner as she would have allowed for much longer gaps of time between introducing us all to new foods. This would have helped her monitor Huey's skin and new food intake for any signs of a reaction. She says she would have also kept her already detailed hog log more detailed and very specific.

Lesson learned!
