Schlopenheimer the Albino Hedgehog Gets a Bath

[RAYYAR518]

Why can't you cuddle with hedgehogs I keep seeing people say it and I don't know why because I want one and I want to hug it and stuff

@RAYYAR518 They aren't social animals and will never particularly want your company. Even the nicest, best trained hedgehog is "grumpy" all the time. Mine will sleep on me, because i'm warm, and convenient (if i have a blanket in my lap), but he'll run away from me in favor of something where I am not. You need to read about these animals a big more before you get one, because if you want something that's friendly and hug-able, this might not be the pet for you.

@VanessaVanAlstyne is that literally oatmeal or oatmeal soap?

[VanessaVanAlstyne]

it's kinda like having a small grumpy cat. He's a lot easier than Guinea Pigs, but he does NOT want to snuggle like they would sometimes. Frankly I won't have another kind of small pet, but please do a lot of research and make sure you really want one before getting one.

haha, cute! are they hard to take care of?

[fabygoo]

why is the water white? he is super cute! can he see?

[VanessaVanAlstyne]

@fabygoo It's an Oatmeal bath to help with dry skin and quilling (he's about 8 months old in this video).

THanks.

Most hedgehog's don't see very well, they mostly use hearing and smell to guide them. They also don't see as well in bright light environments, as they are diurnal like cats are. That said he would see more poorly than usual being that he is an albino, but he can still see movement at least. So not blind, just, not very good eyesight naturaly.
