A week later and the hedgehog is still alive!

He now weighs 2 oz (56 gms).

I am still feeding him every 3 to 4 hours day and night.

He has some brown spikes and his eyes are straing to open.

We put him in the cat box but he's so little he keeps putting his head through the grid.

I have lined it with cardboard, then paper, then his comfort flannel sites on top of his towel wrapped hot water bottle.

My daughter (who has a pygmy hedgehog, Harry) has come for a couple of days and brought their hedgehogs travel box, now he's safe.

Its huge (see picture) to keep carrying upstairs every night, we need to teach this hedhog to lap - how do you do that?
