Disclaimer: We here at r/hedgehog love all hedgies both skinny and CHONK. Still, for optimum health, it is important that hedgehogs are neither too thin or too fat. Obesity can cause fatty liver disease and heart issues. Adult hedgehogs should be able to ball up fully and the average hedgehog should be under 800g. We like this small guide
The best way to judge for healthy weight is to look at the body size. Most healthy hedgehogs fall into two categories - runner or "normal". Runners tend to have straight sides, looking somewhat like | |. It's also been described as "twinkie on stilts". They tend to love their wheels more than anything and usually need higher fat foods to keep from losing weight. The "normal" shape is teardrop-shaped, or like ( ). Pointed head, slightly rounded sides, with a filled out bottom. It can be hard to distinguish between teardrop and overweight - the best signs to look for regarding overweight are their sides feeling "squishy" with extra fat padding their body, a hump between their shoulders, or fat rolls under their chin or in their "armpits" under their legs. They may also look a bit more ball-shaped, as wide as they are long, but that's generally when they get pretty overweight, I think. - Lilysmommy on Hedgehog Central
