They can gain up to 100g a WEEK if they have no problems Karen, Weight gain be alot slower if something is going on inside.
My rescue told me if they aren't 450g by the first week of November bring them in for winter.
If an hedgehog tries to hibernate at 500g its 50 / 50 if it will make it or not, If they are over 600g they stand a better chance!
They're are going down to hibernation early this year I already have two hibernating, I did weight Autumn lastnight and its 482g so she should be 600g in no time!
in other news PATCH IS COMING HOME!!!
going to pick him up later, He is weighting nearly 800g now and been with them nearly 2 months, he was on treatment for ring worm lung worm and early stage of mange!
Going to put him in my last riverside gold house and hopefully he will hibernate in the garden.
This is the picture the rescue sent me this morning of his weight in can't wait to get him back
