I have want one for 2 years

A headshog bites a lot you sure you want one

milperthusky having a hedgehog is honestly the best, my mum bought me one 2 days ago and I’ve been wanting one for ages!

Kiwi I agree, I got one 2 days ago and I LOVE him so so so much!

Madie Ilaya it only does that when it’s scared and feels unsafe, when they get to know that they’re not in danger they’ll be amazing!

Informan Local try a sand bath with chinchilla sand to potty train them

I normally just let my hedgie run around in the bath tub for 10 minutes and she will go potty. After that she normally doesnt go potty again until an hour later. But yes they do potty A LOT

So trueee

@@kiwimonifa3200 cleaning up after them is a hassle. But I personally don't mind it.

Hahaha hedhog owner problem 🤣

Meanwhile, our boy Scooter tends to fall flat on his face... 😹

my hedgehog does that exact thing trying to crawl out of her bath lol

Weird Horse Energy except the part where you would have to lay on your own toothpicks 😂

@@hidekiryuga26 just lay them back and it doesnt hurt

SwEeT ChIlD o MiNe!!

Ashley, Pickle left knowing she was loved and cared for by a kind soul as you. Honestly, that's the best gift you can ever give to Pickle ❤️

@@Nevz00 Thank you. I do think I gave her a good life, but I still feel guilty that we couldn't save her. She trusted me and I remember how she looked at me on that last day, but there was nothing I could really do at that point. I don't know whether I'll get my next female hedgie spayed, but I don't want something like that to happen ever again. Pepper is super timid and I still haven't bonded with him in the same way, but I'm going to introduce him to my partner's girl hedgie soon, so hopefully we'll have some hedgie babies :)

It's normal to blame oneself when unexpected things happen, but hey though Pickle is no longer here, she knows that you were there for her ❤️ The part where she looked at you was her admiring you for everything you have done. Good luck with Pepper! HE is about to enjoy a great life with you.

any progress with the shy hedgehog? i just got a new hedgehog(first one) and wonder how much bonding progress i can expect. she isnt totally shy, but i can not hold her on the back. iknow usually hedgies dont like it, but it would be a bonding goal if she could get to tolerate it and i could handle her like the hedgehog in the video on the back

@@Avlysh Unfortunately, he's still pretty shy and gets crabby when I touch him. I hold him every night with his house on my chest and him lying down inside it. He gets excited when I feed him and he often lays pretty mellow with me as long as he's in his house and I don't touch him too much. He's really cute and I love him, but I've had to just accept that he's not as friendly as Pickle was. In general, I don't think hedgehogs like being held on their backs for more than a few seconds. I think they probably feel defenseless in that position since they can't hunker down behind their spikes if they need to, so it might be just instinct to be in a more defensible position. Anyway, a small update on Pepper is that I did put him with a girl hedgie to try to breed the two of them (was my first attempt) and they seemed to like each other but it didn't look like they were doing anything. However, I didn't watch them 100% of the time and one day, while cleaning the girl, I discovered we had 3 babies! One of the babies is a chubby girl named Molly and she is SUPER friendly and she'll lay right on my chest, curl up and fall asleep. So, we have a sweet little hedgie family now and I've developed a lot stronger bond with Molly on account of her seeming to trust me more. I hold all the hedgies every single day and I love them all for their unique personalities. No regrets, but of course I do still miss Pickle every single day and I still cry sometimes when I think about her. I don't think that will ever change. Good luck though with your hedgies and if you get yours to be more comfortable being held on its back, let me know.

SideshowBoB44 that’s so sweet 🥺 thank you 🥰

WAFFLES IS SUCH A CUTE NAME

grantCATlover thank you so much!! let me know how it goes :)

What kind of carrots do you give her?

You should not give your hedgehog fruits or veggies as their digestive system is unable to break them down

@@desireemiller817 they can be used at treats or in moderation. But it isn't something they should have for a daily diet

Derpywhale 101 mine is named sr.prickles but most the time i call him señor

If I had a hedgehog I would name him Sonic the hedgehog

Gotta go fast

Hahaha genius

My hedgehog‘S name is Pickles

They really are amazing pets. Just spend some time with them everyday and follow this advise and soon you'll have a really sweet little hog :) Mine's almost 18 months old and now fully domesticated, and my wife and me but adore him.

So sorry for your loss!! :(

TheGreenCreeper TGC rip pinecone ❤️ :,)

I love the name Pinecone for a hedgehog! We went with Scooter for our boy

@@zehlua you cant read the air rip pinecone

@@4SC0RE I can, and I wanted to say that Pinecone is a wonderful and meaningful name for a hedgie

Madison R I hope your hedgehog is doing great!! be patient and persistent with them 🦔

That's nice :) good choice for a name!!

Yes :) coming soon!!

Emily :3 Dankeschön 🥰 also meistens checken Igel erstmal ab, wo sie am ehesten nach unten kommen und wählen dann immer denselben Spot aus :) Wenn du weißt wo das ist, kannst du dich gezielt so hinlegen, dass er nicht springt!! Aber ich passe schon auch immer so mit einem Auge halb auf, dass nichts passiert!! Oder du legst dich halt stattdessen auf den Boden und schaust dass da nichts gefährliches rumliegt :)

Danielle MM. so happy about this 🥰
