I am the worst hedgehog mommy ever. Poor little Nigel....last night I was trying to clip his back nails and he moved right when I squeezed so I cut way too close. He mad a little screechy noise and proceeded to bleed for what seemed like 6 days but was more like 45 mins. I went on line to see what I should do and found that cornstarch will stop the bleeding. It actually worked pretty well. He seems okay - not limping or favoring his foot. But it doesn't look great either - poor baby. I feel so terrible for hurting him. I hope he is okay - I will keep an eye on it today and if I think he needs to be vetted I will take him in. UGH!
