You mentioned that they are easy to care for, and truthfully they really arent. You left some things out, like the fact that require a heat lamp or some form of heat supply because they have to be kept at a constant temperature and also that their wheel needs to be cleaned sometimes everyday because they just LOOOVE to poop on it. Also, I wish I knew where to find a hedgie for 100 bucks, all together my Ringo was 500.
@vampyriccry don't worry about your hedgie swallowing the soap water. Hedgehogs have a well developed sense of smell and know what thy shouldn't ingest :)
I got mine for 40. Came with everything I needed to. The owner couldn't keep him any longer. And he really could have be a better owner then he was. He's still shy with me. It breaks my heart. :[
Do the prickles hurt??? my sister got one for her 16th birthday and I have a habit to hug animals because there so cute!!!!! will it hurt the hedgehog or me?
I have a question on bathing your hedgehog. I just gave my hedgehog his first bath, because he goes to the bathroom while running on his wheel. Well from what I have read I did go out to get him Johnson's tear free baby shampoo, but I did not use it while bathing him having the fear of him accidentally drinking the water. I did use a tooth brush to brush out any mess. Is it safe to use the baby shampoo? Or am I better off with just the warm water?
I SAW U ON PETS 101!!!! U WORK AT A LIBRARY U RIGHT BOOKS FOR KIDS AND I THINK THAT IS KEWL!! please do not call me a stalker i just like what you do for those kids and i like your hedgehog
I saw you guys on pet 101! Then I was here on youtube looking at hedgie vids and saw the title and was like "wait a minute wasnt she on pet 101" and you were! I was sooo happy I found you!
Its been helpful as my family are currently looking after a wild hedgehog. He's been with us for about 4ish weeks now - and is about the same size as your Stanley (which is underweight in his case, as he's a native UK hedgehog).
I was wondering if Stanley hibernates at all? And whether you give him larger amounts of food around that time to bulk him up. (We currently feeding ours wet cat food). Also, does a kind of purring slightly flemy sound mean contentment?
Dude, if I get a hedgehog, I'd totally name it Sonic or Sega, lol! Sonic's my fave. video game character, even though most people like Mario or Shadow better.
Stan's my type a guy; I'm more nocturnal myself. :)
Me and my sisters just watched pets101 and fell in love with Stanley now were begging our mom for one she finally said yes so I'm sooo excited!!!! Do you have any tips for us??? :)
@missmusic617 Hi there! That's great that you're thinking about getting a hedgehog! There are definitely some things to consider, though: first and foremost, you have to find out if your state allows hedgehogs as pets. many states have "exotic animal" laws, and it's illegal to own hedgehogs, ferrets, and a number of other non-native/exotic species. States that do not allow exotic pets will probably not have vets that can treat them, so that's a big thing to consider.
Hedgehogs are relatively easy to care for--Stanley needs his food & water checked daily, his cage/wheel cleaned weekly, and a bath every few weeks. That being said, he is also nocturnal and shy, so I don't get to spend a lot of time with him when he's awake.....and when I do, he isn't affectionate or cuddly. I always tell people that, although hedgehogs are awesome, younger children are better off with a guinea pig, hamster. etc. Stanley is awesome, but he's not for everyone! :)
ok i have a cat , she likes to catch lizards and bugs , is that a bad thing if i try and get a hedgehog , i think she'll leave it alone but im not sure, but if i do get one ill only have to buy on type of food yay! haha :D
I've owned a pygmy hedgehog before, I got him from a breeder and he was great and looked and acted alot like your stanley here in this video. I recently decided to get another one. This new guy completely hates to be handled. He hisses and freaks as soon as you came near him. I've had him for about a week now and try to get him out for a bit every night but he's still not wanting to warm up. Just wondering if you have any ideas into how to coax the little guy into not being such a grumpy gus..
Thank you for posting this. I love it! I have done research for months on hedghogs and this helped so much. I am afraid I will get one that I'll clash with. I also cannot for the life of me find a breeder withing a 4-5 hour radius of my home and I can't imagine purchasing a hedgie without meeting it first and then making it suffer a flight. I guess when the time is right I will find a perfect friend.
Oh, and you are so pretty. Your features are so gorgeous and you have great personal style.
I don't have a hedgie but want one, in the meantime I enjoy you and Stanley! Yes I have to agree we'd all like to see more of you and the little dude.....
Hedgehogs do bite, some of them are really crazy and some tame, they have different personalities , and even sometimes they become aggressive for a few weeks and then back to normal, they are awesome though !
Stanley sounds alot like my Hedgehog Kooshi!! When she wakes up she will run and run and run some more then drink and go back to bed! Lol
What do you do for nail clipping? Kooshi's nails are soooooo long but im afraid to cut them cause i have to hold her leg still and i dont want to hurt her!!
Hey. Ive had a cinnamon hedgehog named knuckles for 2 years and i really liked your video. Most people that post videos have no idea what there talking about but you did. Good job!!
ohh! i want one soo so bad :/ thank you for making this video, i was looking them so i could see what they were like as pets, i really want one, i ask my mom.. and she said they were too expensive, so i am saving up for one :D i can wait! thye loo so cute, and just like a good pet :]]]]
i have a hedgy named gary! hes still a baby! for some feason he hates his wheel! my mom said its cuz hes yooung and dnt kno how. idk tho but i love him hes kool. i had a girl b4 but she died i cried like a baby :[
LOL I have a hedgie named stanley too!! Just got him two days ago. He is still very nervous and everytime i hold him he poops green :( he makes me worry. He is playing at night but have not witnessed him drink or eat yet :( Is this going to get better? what was your experience when he first came home? Thanks for the video and he is adorable!
i guess stanley is the going name for hedgehogs! my stan was understandably nervous when i first brought him home, but he settled in within a few days. make sure you handle him a lot so that he gets used to your smell! and he probably eats and drinks at 3 a.m.--so he IS eating, but just not so that you can see! have fun with your stanley!
Thank you so much for making this video! I've been thinking about getting a hedgie for a little while now and I too have been looking on youtube for more info. I too, am allergic to a lot of animals and was curious about hedgies and allergies. I'm thinking about meeting someone with a hedgie in the area to see what it's like. I've found a breeder, but I still want to do lots of research (i.e. find out if theres a vet in my area that specializes in exotic animals)
@Existantia well just give them a bath every once in a while.use a toothbrush and non perfume soap to wash their quills.dont wash their face though.and not in the ears
2. they don't really sit still in your lap. they are natural burrowers, and will only settle down once they're safely snuggled into a blanket or your elbow or whatnot. i suggest having a blanket on your lap so that they can burrow and feel safe; then they'll probably go to sleep on you, which is the cutest thing ever.
I have a few questions because you seem very knowledgeable about hedgehogs. :)
How often do they poop? If I get one will they go to the bathroom on me? Does is sit still in your lap? Do they cuddle and enjoy the company of humans? Am I able to feed it fruits and vegetables?
1. depends on when you're hanging out with them. during the day--when they'd normally be sleeping---they will be more sluggish and not be as likely to poop. however, at night the little guys are super-active; this is when they tend to "use the restroom" the most, so your likelihood of getting pooped on is higher.
not really, it's not that bad though. It's not like they just turn off during the day. They can wake up and be friendly. I forget that my hedgehog is nocturnal sometimes, but he played with me all day and slept all the next day so at night he was still active. It depends on your hedgehog i'm sure.
please don't! they're nocturnal by nature, and it's only fair that you keep them that way. their eyes are more photosensitive, for one, as they're not used to being awake and functioning during daylight hours.
part of the deal with having a hedgehog is recognizing that they're nocturnal; YOU should adjust to THEIR schedule, not vice-versa. but if you can stay up with them, you're bound to have some quality time with your hedge!
My baby hedgehog is about to come home to me on Tuesday (it is Sunday)
we are getting him from a breeder and Im trying to find out a lot about hedgehogs and stuff and I was wondering when I bring my hedgehog (his name is Spike) home, will he miss his mom a lot and like will he eventually get used to me (I will be handling him A LOT)
Spike is home with me now (my hedgehog) and he is very much used to me. I love him so much and every day we play for hours =] he never spikes up when I go to get him anymore :D
I am going to be getting one, is is true they eat catfood? if so what kind. I have done research and they sound like great pets but what kind of cat food do they eat?
@crazylazy45 welllll....actually they should have a high fat high protein high quality cat food.find a cat food that had smaller pellets so it can eat them in managable bites.freezedried crickets and mealworms work good for back up bugs.but also have a little habbitat full of live crickets and a carton of small mealworms.this is the best diet.also dont feed them fruits the fruits have to much sugar.veggies r ok,carrots work good.
i don't think you can potty-train them, but he rarely poops on anyone (he's polite). the only major hassle to having a pet hedgehog is that once or twice a week, you have to scrub their wheel, as they poop all over it every night while running. and every other week or so you need to bathe the hedge himself. other than that, he's easy!

Well I have to say that was the most informative video about hedgehogs I've ever seen.
