HALF A YEAR WITH HER NEW FAMILY

This is her vet's ID card photo (November 2008)

We were feeding her with Royal Canin Baby Cat until she was 4 months old so that she didn't grow too fat (she was already 700 gr), so we changed to Royal Canin Kitten. She didn't quite like the change because the flavour wasn't so attractive to her and the food balls wer a bit bigger. We had to mix both types of food, progressively giving her more quantity of the new one. But she's so clever that she sorted out the food and only ate the 'Baby Cat' food! One day we ran out of the old food and had to leave for a whole day, so we came back very late at night and she had eaten the new food... what else could she do, poor thing?

Then, when she was 6 months (that's the adolescence for a hedgehog!), we had to change the type of food again. Those food balls were much bigger but they were more savoury, so we didn't need to mix both types of food because she accepted it right away.

Her adolescence months were tough for both of us: she learnt to bite me when she didn't like something I was doing to her and she was angry more often, a real teenager!
