How to give your hedgehog a bath

[2001vilcsi]

Is this a Desert Hedgehog or what "type" is it? And where can you buy them?

[DJayEmRe]

the hedgehog shat in tha water xDDD

[4EverPwnNoobs]

how old do they have to be to give them their first bath? your hedgehogs look big and im getting a baby one soon so im just curious

[TheKoopalings]

wish i could get a hedgehog for a pet

[TheKoopalings]

lol sonic can't swim or does he like water.

[OhlookItsJAKE]

Thanks so much! My hedgehog is about a year old now and she is afraid of everything to I was nervous about giving her a bath cause her feet were... really bad. But much to my surprise she loves it. Thanks again! Now I just gotta figure out how to clip her nails without her flipping...

[MrEyo5]

i just got one, thanks so much

[rabia257]

i all so want a hedgehog



[holyrockthrower]

Can you make one about how to litter train hedgehogs? I've got a new hedgie who, for lack of a better cage, just wanders my apartment...it's safe for him, and the floor is tiled so it's easy to clean. But still, would prefer if I could get him to do his business in an appropriate spot! :)

Thanks for the excellent vids btw.

[BoneCollecterNGW]

hey how much does a hedgehog cost. in general

[kinggilly23]

@BoneCollecterNGW i bought mine for $200

[SyMadude23]

LOL HE SHIT HE WAS SCARED

[cowsrock94]

Do you have to have a breeding permit for hedgehogs where you live?

[Chaoskid209]

How do u cut there nails?

[DTAPxPhySiKZz]

Just got a headgehog, its hurts the tiniest bit, but its soooo cute.

To total cost of EVERYTHING was about $2.80

[utopiandeception]

I'm going to attempt the first bath on mine tonight. I never thought of his wheel being the cause of why I'm constantly cleaning his feet off. Duh. :P

[Turtles504]

he took a shit in the sink

[lovelylittlehamster]

can hedgehogs live in cage like hamsters

[dreamer921618]

I want one sooooooo badly!

[Ganizu1]

i love my hedgehog sparky,his girlfriends name is jewel. i'm a girl!

[Ganizu1]

you have 2!!!!!!!!!!!! whats the females name?

[Ganizu1]

what his name? cinomin?

[Ganizu1]

cutie!

[jamsmaj123]

I love hedgehogs! I've had my Prickle for about 2 years now :) They're so cute!

[cheeseandricecomeon]

you are bathing the second one in dirty water!! :-o

[OceanEyes947]

Hey! Try filling your tub next time so that the shallow end is shallow enough for him to stand with his head above water and the deep end deep enough for them to swim in. If you don't have a bath, then full a large tub with water and place a plastic box or other flat waterproof object into the tub so that if the hedgehog tires, they can take a break by standing on the higher surface. Deeper water and more space can encourage more enthusiastic swimming and even back floating!

[ahmed100026]

the hedgehog pooped at 3:14

[daisukinokaze]

loool. Your female is so adorable.

[earthling1984]

@daisukinokaze thanks :)

[lovingkazuma]

do the spikes hurt when you touch it?

[earthling1984]

@lovingkazuma no, not really.

[prayingmantis619]

@lovingkazuma meh a little bit when they are babys.

[DaGuyWhoAirsofts]

he sounds like xjaws like if u no who he is :)

[cassandrasempson]

Mine doesn't love baths, but it made him more tame. Just make sure to really dry them off or they'll catch a cold

[ghostKurt]

Great vid man! He's so docile...

[abuzohair1]

do you know where to get a hedgehog and how big do they grow.Can you make more bird videos.

[earthling1984]

@abuzohair1 the hedgehogs in this video are adults, so that is their full size. you can find them at some pet shops, animal expos, or from private breeders. I'll try to make more bird videos soon.

[5353andy]

at 3:16 you can see his poop in the sink

[Kjubis]

you are really amateur.. hedgehogs fucking hate bathe.. thats cruelty to animals and you should think about yourself..

[rane998]

@Kjubis they MAY hate bath but its good for them... just like we hate veggies but its beneficial for us idiot

[Soralover2008]

Pro Tip: Make sure your hedgehog doesn't drown! :3

[Shadangel26]

This video made me want to have a hedgehog <3

[ZekeThompson22]

Thanks buddy, I just gave my hedgehog a bath for the first time after watching your video. It helped a lot!

[RikJimmy00]

SONIIIIIICCC HEROEEEESSS SONICCC HEERROEEEES!

[iamdonny314]

nice sink

[Leatherbehlt]

I just got a baby hedgehog a couple days ago, and there's some sort of dandruff like crust on his quills. Is this normal or is it more than just him being being dirty?

[shamel0]

Question, should I first tame my pet because he had some feces stuck on his quills.

[nerfbattothefacelol]

no Sonic comments? Madness! THIS WILL END IT!

[pressztoplay]

How many times do you bathe your hedgie? Or does it depend on whether or not they're dirty?

[earthling1984]

@pressztoplay depends when they get dirty, i probably bathe them about twice a month.

[pressztoplay]

@earthling1984 Have they ever gotten mites? If so, what did you do?

[nicholasnicktech]

@pressztoplay it does

[broadwaygleek1]

ok, so my hedgehog is not nice AT ALL. he wont let us pick him up at all without wearing gloves and bites quite a bit. any suggestions?

[earthling1984]

@broadwaygleek1 check out my video on how to handle a mean/aggressive hedgehog

[broadwaygleek1]

@earthling1984 thanks

[sonicxlover135]

@broadwaygleek1 well,all I do with my little sonic (I just got her last month) is I just first get her out for about an hour a day,and just play with her.I first use gloves and sometimes when she feels like it,I can pick her up with my hands and she is ok,what I do is just wear the gloves and put her in the bath,next I take off the gloves and just pet her and hold her in the tub and she begins to let me to touch her and I hope that will happen to you,just don't be afraid

[theman160090]

i was just wondering, is it bad if i get water on the ears of the hedgehogs?

[earthling1984]

@theman160090 Probably best to try to keep water out of the ears, but if a little gets in I think your hedgehog will be ok.

[CalvinTeeKai]

AWWW i love it when hes in the sink like floating on its back =D

[ashweeeeeeeeeiner]

awe. my hedgie freaks out and always runs to the sides. :( thanks for the video

[xXxrissarawrxXx]

He's just like hey, I'mma hedgie. Look at me. Here I am. (:

[xXxAlyssaGemmaxXx]

Is there any way to tell if a hedgehog is male or female?

[earthling1984]

@xXxAlyssaGemmaxXx yes, should be kinda obvious if they will uncurl for u

[MrCrazymw3]

@earthling1984 would this be good Zilla Green Reptile Terrarium Liner or what you have for your lepard geckos im not sure

[arknell]

"There we go! Hmm, I'm gonna go and grab a SECOND hedgehog, brb!"

^__^ You made it sound like you're just picking them up while they pass thru your garden! What a samaritan!

[godricrandom]

mine is so pissy how did you you get him so calm!

[pogoluva]

Aww he's cute

[shorij]

AWWWWWWWWW!!!!!! where did u get him!?

[MusickFreek18]

[TheGirlWhoWaved]

awwwww how adorable.

[earthling1984]

@TheGirlWhoWaved :)

[AngelicKasai]

It's nice to see someone being so gentle with their animals. I keep finding really cruel videos on youtube. :(

[ashtonandgunnar]

this is awesome! :)

[earthling1984]

@ashtonandgunnar thx :)

[pekoro70]

[Generation1Terrorist]

[BmomSON]

Best video title of all time. OF ALL TIME.

[earthling1984]

@BmomSON lol, thanks

[arnaldo30000]

I love hedgehogss!!! thnx for the infoo!!

[spinosaurus46]

YOUR HEDGEHOG'S ARE SO CUTE :3

[bxzel0915]

is it necessary to put shampoos on him or is it good enough for a hedgehog without shampoo?

[rousis14]

@bxzel0915 the shampoo is great for getting rid of the dry skin that usually happens with hogs. Earthling has it bang on with what shampoo to use

[rousis14]

one thing you're supposed to do is get a toothbrush with baby shampoo (or any hedgie friendly wash) and brush from head to backside to get out any dry skin.

otherwise your hedgie is awsome bro :)

[haz464]

what happens if u drop it off the edge do they die

[earthling1984]

@haz464 then it would be dead.

[mjbooner]

@earthling1984 hey how would you recomend clipping the nails?

[Flowen]

He poopied D:

[cherrychapstick9021]

AWE SOO CUTE!!

[AhisisKilliaLeroy]

My hedgies take a bath once a month and they really enjoy it :D I have 4 hedgies. My hint for bathing hedgies is to use Bran Bath because they've very dry skin.

[BayleighVII]

LOL

[ReilaRyu9]

my friends hedgehog does into spiky ball mode wenever someone or anyone is around. including my friend. is that normal ? he just got his a few weeks ago

[jnssnable]

@ReilaRyu9 this guy have a video on his channel called:How to Handle & Tame a mean / aggressive / scared hedgehog watch that! :D

[ReilaRyu9]

@jnssnable ty!

[jnssnable]

@ReilaRyu9 i want a hedgehog to! :(

[culwin]

thanks for the tutorial i actually watched this to learn how to give myself a bath

[earthling1984]

@culwin glad you learned something!

[KHRxGokudera4]

@culwin Okay so, to sum it up. load up ur SINK to about 3/4 the way with 85 degrees water. Don't drown and wash your self :)

[culwin]

@KHRxGokudera4 i feel sparkly clean already

[lookinthemirroragain]

@culwin me too. Just stay calm and try not to poop in the water. also, you might want to make sure there is a lifeguard on duty to scoop you out...just in case.

[YuhgOOch22]

Hes just like me, he poops in the bath!

[pixiwoo55]

do u sell hedghogs?



[pixiwoo55]

where did you buy your hedgehog i want a hedgehog for a long time and theres like no pet stores that sell this type of animal.

[bearsfan2223]

how much would a male cinnamon cost at 2 months old

[hajello913]

how much would one of these cost?

[earthling1984]

@hajello913 between $65 and $200+

[yubindo123]

do hedgehogs bite?

cause I'm planing on

getting one.

[earthling1984]

@yubindo123 none of mine ever have. like any animal, if you are buying in person, make sure to handle before buying, and make sure it is nice and calm before bringing home.

[Bomasticatt]

@yubindo123 Only if you have something on you that smells really good to them, like a treat. Or if they're in pain, such as when they quill. Mine got moody when she was quilling and bit me a few times.

[yubindo123]

do hedgehogs bite?

cause I'm planing on

getting one.

[andtothegloriouspast]

Just a question, do they bite or nibble a lot like hamsters and such do?

[earthling1984]

@andtothegloriouspast I've heard that some people have gotten bitten by hedgehogs; however, none of mine have ever tried to bite.

[andtothegloriouspast]

@earthling1984 Do they chew a lot on things they have in their cages and whatnot?

[earthling1984]

@andtothegloriouspast not really

[belonjeemily]

@andtothegloriouspast

Yes they do bite I HAVE 1

[icevietjr]

is there any specified temperature they like to live in? im thinking about getting one

[andtothegloriouspast]

@icevietjr They live in about 70F, 21C. If it gets too cold they could try to hibernate &That's really bad for them.

[mothafuger]

It got so scared, it shit

[harumika45]

do the spikes hurrt you.

[l1z4rdbr34th90]

@harumika45 Not when they're flat! :)

[harumika45]

@l1z4rdbr34th90 thank you for telling me that but when they are like full like when they are dry..

[elijah5able]

[earthling1984]

@elijah5able not good

[au1668]

I just love it.how do you get a hedgehog



[7391555Rosie]

my dad wants to know what kind of hedgehog this is

[earthling1984]

@7391555Rosie African Pygmy Hedgehogs. One is a pinto coloration, the other is cinnamon.

[b3ar245]

lol you made him poop :p

[Th3N3wcOm3r]

Completely irrelevant to the video, but I have the exact same sink, counter and faucet in my bathroom, lol.

[DarkFire123789465]

earthling 198: you'll float, you'll float

loud thump

hedgehog:dude i cant float

[ChocolatecaikSTUDIOS]

Okay, 1. Me and mom have been looking EVERWHERE for "Nail clippers" For my Chip. 2. I've given mine a few baths but I'm wondering, Does it matter if the hedgehog gets water in their eyes/ears/nose? Could that cause an infection or what, Thanks for reading I'll subscribe.

[earthling1984]

@ChocolatecaikSTUDIOS pet shops should have small cat clippers or ferret clippers that will work perfectly. try to keep their head out of the water.

[ChocolatecaikSTUDIOS]

@earthling1984 Thanks for the info, just makin sure on that last part.

[SaphireDisc]

Are they related to Ferrets at all. The look kinda like a flat ferret...

[tecken5]

will it fie if you bathe it

[msprincessbrianna1]

[rsbuddbot]

[earthling1984]

@4530NanoMio :)

[mgg3d]

[nol50000]

How to give your hedgehog a bath: 1. Get on your military-grade gloves. 2. Jump and throw it into the bath. 3. Scream for your life. 4. Cry, Just cry, Let it all out. 5. Hire the sucker next door to get her back in the cage.

[alexwie442200]

how do u hold a hedgehog

[XShinigamiXPrincess]

@alexwie442200 I was wondering that too. Won't you get poked by their spikes?

[alyssa5057]

5 people dont have hedgehogs :3

[BowTigh]

aww its so cute! I want one so bad! Are they easy to take care of?

[earthling1984]

@BowTigh They are pretty easy to care for. just do some research on caring for them before you get one.

[BowTigh]

@earthling1984 Okay, thank you :D

[halofan509]
