Hedgehog Care: How to Cut a Hedgehogs Nails (Bath Method) || feat. Draco
Рет қаралды 176,846
Күн бұрын*READ ME* :)
Hi everyone! Here's a video on how I clip my hedgehogs nails. The bath method is not recommended for hedgehogs that are willing to dunk their heads under water. As mine do not like water on their faces, this method is the fastest way to do their nails. If the bath method is not for your hedgehog, try out some of the others I mention toward the end of the video!

I love that you talk to him while you were trimming his nails. Haha I yammer to mine but sometimes think I must seem crazy to others who hear me. I have a lot of difficulty trimming my lad's nails. He doesn't like his feet held, so its easier to mis-trim because he moves a lot and I just don't have enough hands to hold him still long enough to clip-clip fast. SO, I'm grateful for your various ideas of how to trim! TY! (Draco looks like my first hedgehog.

My boyfriend and I just got a pair, Hoko and Joey and we've been extremely clueless on how to take care of them and we came across your videos on KZfaq and they really shed some light on a lot of things we weren't familiar with. Hope you can continue making more hedgie related videos! I've got one question though, where do you buy all your hedgie supplies? I've been looking for a good scissors to use to cut their nails but the ones we found aren't that good. Any tips?

My hedgehog is very stubborn. Her nails are very long and I've tried to cut them but she won't let me. She huffs and puffs every time I try to cut her nails and she likes to dunk her head under the water. She gets very stressed out if I try to cut them and she curls up into a ball. Does anyone have a good method for getting them to calm down? I don't want her nails to curl and pierce her feet!

I tried clipping her back feet because the front look okay but the back were super long. I tried clipping them at least a little so that she isn't in any pain for the meanwhile while she walks! Should I try to do a little bit a day since she's not yet used to me? I don't want to stress her out too bad since she is currently getting used to me and her new home!

I went to purchase a baby hedgehog but when I seen an adult they had I ended up purchasing her instead. Her nails are crazy long and curls under very bad and she is absolutely not tamed at all. We can pick her up but she is all quails the entire time and huffs and puffs the entire time we're getting her and if we move as well. When I touched her foot she had a more not happy reaction so I'm sure she's in pain and I haven't been able to observe them too well. We just got her yesterday and was trying to give her time to bond before I started to attack her nails, but I feel like if she's in pain it's cruel not to do it how, however I never had one so don't know what to do. Should I start with a bath and see if she'll allow me to do it there or try something different. I feel like as unhappy as she is at being touched she might not know about water.

Turtle. 101 you should use a mixture of cat food, veggies/fruit, and some protein. Dried mealworms and dead crickets are a good option for protein, but make sure to not give them too much. Introduce the new foods one by one, so if there's an odd reaction you know which one is causing the problem. before you give them any new foods, you should google which ones are the best for them and which ones will hurt them.

Yes, it does hurt, but they rarely bite (it also depends on the personality of your hedgie. Mine have never bitten me or anyone, even though they were mostly unhandled when i got them). They would much rather hiss, click, curl up and pop before considering to bite. Just be careful that your hands don't smell like their treats or food when you handle them. That's when they might bite, mistaking your finger for a snack.
