I've perused the boards and I couldn't find an answer to this question anywhere.
Can a witch use a hex while they are under the effect of Vermin Shape (or any shapechange effect, for that manner)? I think I am correct that spells can't be cast since you need to speak to cast spells, but I see nothing that says you can't use hexes while in the shape of another creature.
Is this posted somewhere and I missed it? Seems pretty useful if Hexes could be used in this situation.
Thanks!

I believe they can. I'm not seeing any verbal or somatic components for a hex or a classification of Su, SLA, or Ex.
They most closely resemble supernatural abilities (Su), which don't require anything but mental activation. So, unless it has been errata'd elsewhere, my opinion is, "Yes, they can."
Spells can't (generally speaking), as evidenced by the druid's "Natural Spell" feat. Spell-like abilities can, however, as they too only require mental activation.
If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will correct me.
