How interesting! The ferret is for a teenage boy - they are fast and smelly. You figure out which is which!! The hedgehog is kind of cute, in a bizarre way! Prickly! Which did you get? My husband wants an iguana. No allergies there, but it is NOT cute!
We didn't get a pet, and we still haven't decided that getting a pet of any kind is a good idea. We need more time to think about the pros and the cons... I once dated a woman who had a pet iguana. It was cool, but not exactly cute. It used to snort out salt from its nose and take a shit randomly. It slashed me with its tail when I picked it up. It didn't hurt, but it surprised me. They hang out in the tree tops in Grenada...
never heard of pet hedgehogs before - keeping wild ones is illegal I think unless it happens to wander into your garden. I had ferrets and they do smell!
I don't believe anyone in the UK would keep one as a pet even if they were legal because they are wild animals over there... We have racoons and squirrels and rabbits wander into our yard all the time, and I'm not inclined to keep them as pets either, but a domesticated breed of rabbit is a remote possibility.
Hahahahaaa That was exactly my first impression. It looks like Cindy is holding a dead sea urchin.
Ferrets are little terrors. They are SO fast, and they'll get into anything and everything before you can blink. And I swear they can squeeze through holes you can barely see through. If you can see light under a door, they'll crawl under it. They're a riot!
My husband wanted a Ferret and I thought we could try it out . We brought Him home
and when I picked him up he bit me and it felt like it went straight to the bone in my finger. I said "OH Hell No" and we packed him up and back to the pet store the same day. lol. The
Hedge hog is really cute, I don't think it would be much fun to play with. lol
Your ferret story made me laugh! The thing about hedgehogs is that they are soft and furry on the bottom, and they do warm up to you when they get to know you better from what I've read and from the videos that I've seen... We still haven't made a decision. Maybe we never will!!
My friend has a wife and 3 kids and one of these... It hates him and loves the others. He gets near it and is tried to attack him. But they is cute :)
I would choose a guinea pig before I would choose a hedgehog or ferret. Ferrets chew up everything and they stink. The hedgehog was really cute, it just didn't appear very friendly/cuddly. About your allergies - there are certain breeds of dogs that are considered hypo-allergenic (mostly terrier breeds).
I think the hedgehog gets more friendly as it gets to know you... That little fellow was falling asleep when we got there, so I'll give him that benefit. I would probably be more of a cat person than a dog person if I were allergic to neither kind of animal. Hypo-allergenic does not mean non-allergenic. To my system it's still a dog no matter what breed, but some breeds give me milder reactions than others, it's true.
The hedgehog fad is something that's apparently been gaining in popularity in recent years probably because they are so adorable and they're relatively easy to care for... It's illegal to keep them as pets in some places, or maybe the fashion has not reached your shores yet...
we used to have ferrets long ago. really loved them, but they do have a particular smell. if you adopt one from a rescue that is older, they are much better pets. cute prickly baby
One of my customers last night said that snakes make the best pets... We might look into rescue for a hedgehog, but they make better pets if they bond to you when they're young.
They sure grabbed our interest! I didn't know that people kept them as pets until Cindy saw one for sale on Craig's List or Used Victoria a couple of months ago... Ever since then she has wanted one, but this visit to the pet shop has dampened her enthusiasm a bit LOL
What a cute and fascinating little guy! And nature is amazing, what a perfection protection against predators! Very, very interesting, enjoyed this video very much! :)
The hedgehog is one of those early mammals. Apparently they have been around for about fifty million years! Those spines on their back are good survival tools...
Oh My, They "All" Are So Cute & Alot Of Fun But Really It's Alot Of Work To Have Any Animal Fish,Hamsters,Frogs, Dogs,Cats Etc.... I Have Had Mostly Every Critter And When It's Time to Go On Vacation "Nobody" Likes To Pitch In And Help (LOL) Good Luck On Your Choice! Great To See You Both!
Yeah, I'm a bit reluctant to get into all the work involved and then having to find a sitter when we go out of town. We haven't found the right one yet :)

Pets you wouldn't be allergic to; reptiles, tarantulas, fish, rocks, beer.
