Are you guys serious?! Mine bites me ALL the time! I have to constantly make sure he can't get to my fingers or any loose piece of clothing because he will bite anything he can get a hold of. I have a gouge on my finger from where the little tit Bit me last night! And it HURTS. He's such brat but I love him anyway :p you just have to be prepared to have a pet that isn't generally loving that won't seek attention, other than that I think they are so cute so i don't mind all the bites and prickle
It definitely depends on the hedgehog, mine didn't bite at all the day i got him, and never bit me a day after that, he DID stay curled up in a ball 90% of the time until he was used to me. If you get a hedgehog as a baby, they're more likely to warm up to you faster, and less likely to bite. I miss my boy, he recently passed away :(
Wow, Youtube just starred out one of the words in my first comment. That's pathetic...they'll feature horror movies with violence and nudity, yet they'll censor a commonly used word. The hypocrisy is incredible. F U C K you Youtube!
When purchasing a new hedge hog it is very important to handle them daily so that they gain trust in you and become good pets instead of grumpy hermits.
u commented me like a month ago "how old were my hedgehogs when they died?" well about four years old. i guess . but one died from a sickness on Easter in 2008. and another died last November =[ it had a tumor on her cheek .
of course, duh! hedgehogs and porcupines have quills to defend themsleves. they roll up in a ball and raise their spikes to stop predators from eating them!
why not go to a state where you can buy one and just drive it back? :) that's what id do. They made some pond plants illegal that i use to grow and that's not stopped me from getting them every spring :)
My friend joked about it before, and I quote "Maybe idiots would use them as weapons, death by prickly death..." it does suck that you can't own hedgehogs in california :(
yes you can the hedgehogs dont prick you unless they feal frightned or threatend. so if they do give a grunt or what ever they are just grunting unless they are scared when they grunt it thrusts the spikes up and making it painful to pet. peting hedgis is like plastic carpet when they are not scared
He's so cute! Where'd you get him? And I heard from someone that they file the quills or prickly things (sorry, forgot the words) down or something so they're not as sharp as they normally would be. Does anyone know if this is true?
Some people might do that, but I've never heard of it. I have a hedgehog and I handle him without doing anything to his quills. If they're not upset, the sharp tips don't touch you, so it doesn't matter.
I have had some wild hedgehogs living underneath my house, and they became quite frendly. I gave them catfood to eat, and after a while, they even came climbing up into my lap when I came with the food. The quills where not that sharp.
You know how when a cat is upset, its fur gets all fluffy and the hairs stand straight up on it's back? Well hedgehog quills are just a special type of thick, hard hair. It's lik a sewing needle, sharp at the tip but smooth on the sides. When hedgehogs are upset they stick their quills up so they stick into you, but if they're calm the quills lay flat and you can pet them from head to tail without getting hurt.
Hedgehogs are actually becoming popular pets nowadays, so get used to seeing them become sold in pet stores near you (in certain states where they are not illegal of course).
In my opinion if there is any animal that should not be a pet, it is a boa constrictor or other large reptiles like that. Or those large parrot birds that can bite of a finger.
Not wild ones you find on your porch, of course not, but there are hedgehogs bred to be adorable and loving pets! Also, not for the very young (3-8) or the very old (80+) because of weak immune systems and a few diseases on hedgehog spines that could be transmitted via punctured skin.
Who r u, a hedgehog sales person, wot the hell, well i saw this programm and it had this affrican hedgehog on and he ad to live in a tiny cage for the rest of its life! Thats not very gud is it
Nope. Actually dogs as we know them as pets were never in the wild. They were bred from animals that were wild into domestic pets. Mostly all domesticated dog breeds wouldn't survive in the wild.
its probably more likely to hurt your shihtzus...most animals leave them alone...their defense instinct is to curl up, making them very unpleasant for other animals to bother....I doubt you'd have any problems...I never did with any of my cats or dogs...
well, i definitely kno they arent banned in Vancouver, Canada. I was just at Pet Cetera and they had one there, hence that's what made me look on youtube for hedgehog videos. I M obssesed with Hedgies now!
ive had one before they are the cutest little pets with such personality, but their spikes really dont hurt that much, occasionally they fall out, and you can poke your skin with it, it *could* draw blood but it would be jsut as likely to break. but because there are so many of them the (not even a pound) of hedgehog weight is evenly dustributed so, no :D it actually really doesnt hurt :) theyre a little pricey, but such good and cute pets! they normally stop 'balling up' when you hold them more
Oh... Well, I live in N/E Ohio. It most likely is banned... I probably wouldn't be able to get one anyway, I don't think my parents would let me. I'm wondering, though, if Echidnas are legal... I'd rather have one of those, but I can't find anything specifically about them.
Sadly, they're illegal in the US alone. they cant be pets. if they were, it be cool, but they are bigger than hedgies and are tougher to deal with. well heres some info:
echidnas lay eggs and babies are called puggles.
echidnas are found in australia and indonesia
....
and i forgot the rest. i will getcha more info soon.
Not true, Hedgehogs aren't illegal in ALL U.S. states. With any exotic pet you need to check with your state and area you live in to make sure the exotic pet is allowed.
