UGH. Having a wheel that is not solid (one that is made of wire and has little holes in it) can RIP OFF your hedgehog's feet if they get stuck while running. You're going to make your hedgehog pay for your mistake if you don't fix that. Along with all the other things wrong with this video.
there is so much wrong with this video >,> the poor thing was force fed while trying to drink, and he's kept in death traps. please consider using a large clear plastic tub for a cage, it's MUCH safer, larger, and cheaper than a tiny little overpriced petstore cage. also, his wheel is made of wires, which could result in his little toes accidentally getting injured. they sell plastic wheels without holes at pet stores, and they're normally pretty inexpensive.
also, there seem to be a LOT of animals in there. for their sake, i'd recommend rehoming some of them, to make sure each and every one of them gets the proper care they deserve. sorry if that comes off as rude, i'm just concerned for the animals and it seems like you've got a lot on your hands, which could be the reason you're assuming you can put a hedgehog in any little cage or wheel like other animals who are less fragile.
You should really consider changing your hedgehog to a high quality cat food. The food you're currently feeding is basically junk food nutrition wise, and it's actually recommended that you don't feed freeze dried insects. Hedgies have trouble digesting them in the freeze dried state and it can cause really dangerous and sometimes fatal intestinal blockages.
DONT GIVE WATER FROM THE TAP! it may be fine with us to have traces of chlorine in our drinking water... but they are smaller and are not that tolerant
sorry but your care for your hedgehog is morbid.. you look like you are trying to drive him to the grave..! next time you want to get an animal do your research.. you fired me up seeing the poor creature getting the wrong care.. also make sure you dont post a video about it you are giving people false information..! Thanks
Don't use pine shavings. It can get in their...you know..."Happy organs" and it is NOT going to be fun to try to get them out. and they may be high in sugar, but give the little guy some fruit. and bugs are primarily treats, not main food, feed him the worms and crickets sparingly. You can use either Hedgehog pellets or dry catfood that's low in fat as his primary food source.
I bet someone did not read these comments and took all of this advice on the video and killed their poor hedgehog.those 72 people who wanted a hedgehog looked at this video as the first reaserch video and killed their hedgies.i hope she reads this.707Megen707 is totally right about things 1-8
8 please change the wheel it can damage their feet or rip off its toenails 9 the dust on the igloo can get in its lungs 10 the blanket inside the igloo needs to be smaller so they have room to move around here are some ideas for you get carefresh buy a guinea pig cage isolate all of the animals a little bit buy a heat lamp give them a half of a carrot once in a while get a silent spinner wheel (the 6 1/2 inch one) clean everything in the cage often PLEASE CONSIDER THIS IT WILL MAKE HIM HAPPIER
DUDE, Plsss change the running wheel, tht type of running wheel is most likely to get ur Hedgehog's leg get suck there !! And it will make the leg bleed or even rip the leg out :((((( Tht poor thing
Fail. I mean really did you do NO research before you got him. 1.hedgehogs and pine don't do well together, 2. That wheel is bad read comments below, 3. Cage is WAY to small, 4. The way your room looks you hoard animals and your the reason animals are in shelter, 4. I can't tell if your a girl or boy. You need more experience.
yeahhh.. i was kinda surprised when he/she said the pine was used for the bedding..... i dont own a hedgehog (i wish to own one) but i've done research on it on the internet saying pine or something from softwood which i dont remember, is not good for them.... im sorry but this seems more like animal abuse to me... seeing so many animals in cage.....
@alfriendo2008 Put a heating pad under it or something. It isnt very good for them to hibernate. That's what i heard, maybe ask someone a little bit more reliable ? Correct me if im wrong anybody.
You don't know the reasonings as to WHY they need certain things. They shouldn't have that wheel because they get toes stuck in there and can rip off toenails, toes, or break legs. They shouldn't have pine bedding because they are allergic, it can get stuck in a males urethra, and cause a urinary tract infection. Not too mention harbours mites. Fleece liners are best. Please learn to take better care of your hog. PLEASE
@xXxPoOkAxXx F@^$ yeah I agree with you I did a months of research before I got mine and this person didnt do any at all poor hedgehog maybe dead cause of her :(
UR SO STUPID!!! DONT U KNOW THAT UR NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE A WHEEL LIKE THAT!!!!!!!! AND UR POOR HEDGIE IS GONNA DIE CUZ ITS GONNA BE SO FAT CUZ U FORSE IT TO EAT THINGS!!!!!!!!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.................. im FURIOUS WITH u!!!!!
i think you should pay more attention, hedgehogs are usually very active, your hedgehog ust seems to be bored and tired, also your forcing your hedgehog to do stuff, let him play in his cage.. another thing, fruits are fine for hedgehogs, my hedgehogs favorite is bananas. you can NOT use PINE shavings! pine will give them Respretory problems. also you CAN NOT use cage bottom weels, their feet get stuck and they can brake. also there is too much poop, i clean my hedgehogs cage every morning.
Actually, the food that she's using is one of the few that IS recommended for hedgehogs. Yes, some "hedgehog foods" are not good, some even lethal as they contain raisins. Google "hedgehog Kimberly Goertzen" for a free hedgehog book - see page 53.
@shortii12341 Actually cedar and pine bedding CAUSES respitory problems for hedgehogs. As well as cause irritation to the eyes and mucus mebranes. So no, cedar and/or pine beddings are actually very bad for hedgehogs.
gezze you cant just force feed your hedghog!! also you cant have a wire wheel!!! there toes can get stuck in them and acctually tear off!!! geeze your gonna kill that poor animal!!!!
I know you are talking about feeding him vegetables but you said i haven't really experimented with other ones. Thats not the way to fo. Don't experiment wirh a living creature I mean I know that its only vegetables but just make sure you know its safe.
I'd definitely recommend tossing that wheel and picking up one with a solid plastic bottom. google hedgehog wheels and you'll find a ton of stuff about them. wire mesh wheels are the worse rated because they're dangerous for the hedgehogs toes which can easily get caught.
you dont need to feed him hedgehog food its not a must, you could use purina one cat food. Ooh as of the wheel it needs to be atleast 12 inches idk how many that is but it looks small and the wheel should be solid not have wholes in it cause they can get there nails, feet and wholes legs cought in the wheel and get hurt. the cage should be atleast four feet squared but the hedgehog is still alive so you must be doing something right lol
your takign care of him in an okay way but you dont need to feed him hedgehog its not a must, you could use purina one cat food. Another thing is you shouldn't bother your hedgie while its eating or drinking.
@hollar578 your somewhat right, i have a bottle and a bowl so he can choose but the natural drinking position is in a bowl and you should try both and see witch it prefers because some hedgehogs strain there neck looking up and some just dont like bowls.
.@hollar578 but hedgehogs natural position for drinking is the what her hedgehog is doing. Bottles can strain the hedgehogs neck. So both have pros and cons
@hollar578 actually bottles are pretty bad for hedgehogs, it strains theyre neck and chips their teeth, my hedgehog couldnt find out how to work it so i used a bowl.
Wow.Now I Know Who NOT To Go To For Advice Thanks ! I Feel Really Bad For Ur HEdgeHog !I Mean U FORCE HIM TO DO STUFF Just To Get Views &&'d LIkes &&'d All ! Wow ! Before You Tell People SOme "advice" On How To Care For ONe, Make Sure You Know What You Are Talkin About ! What Im Sayin Is DO UR OWN RESEARCH!!! YOU KNOW NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!! CHLORINE!!!REALLY!!!WOW IM GLAD I DNT KNOW YOU!!!!!!!!
@ItZuRcOoKiEmOnStEr She is not trying to force him. She is only trying to demonstrate. If she was forcing him, she would pull and force to open his mouth. She is trying to show people if they can really eat them.
@ItZuRcOoKiEmOnStEr the only real problem with the video is the wheel the rest is an okay setup for the hedgehog i've had my hedgehog for two years and half the time i give him tap water, quit being a dipshit and stop picking on kids.
@kitzyx shes clearly an animal hoarder who sees the animals as cute novelties, like toys that she 'owns' thus the neglect and ill treatment of them... some people are so selfish and dont consider the well being of what is another living being, instead looking at them as little cute novelties to poke and push around and keep caged...I could go on and on but i will refrain as i find it too upsetting when i see the plight of animals living like this and i cant do much to help the poor thing
@Theogwyn Probably shouldn't have the ball toy either! And there is so much more to learn about hedgehogs...I spent a year learning about hedgehogs before I got mine and I stikll dont know everything
Pine isnt good for hedgies at all. yes he may be fine now but just saying it not good.. and fumes at all if bad for them weather you think so or not..
ummmm.. .... actually you never want to buy commercially producced hedgehog food. It's bad. Get either good ferret food, (with all meat) or cat food, (Innova feline perhaps? Or maybe premium edge?) and for ferret food 8 in 1 ultimate or wysong archetype. Tap water isn't good. It has chemicals. Bottled water is better.
Ok now stop with all the "My hedgehog's are fine so don't worry" crap, you can't tell if your hedgehogs are fine now can you? No you cannot. Now stop with the crap and take some advice and stop misleading people.
Like others have said you shouldn't feed him hedgehog food you should feed him high quality cat or ferret food. And just because hedgehogs won't be killed by most chemicals doesn't mean they are good for them you should use bottled water. And you should alwasy cut off the heads of meal worms because they will bite the insides of the hedgehog.
OMG LUV, take this from someone who knows a bit about animals and doing a bsc hons degree in zoo animal management. YOUR NOT TAKING CARE OF IT VERY WELL AT ALL, GO AND DO SOME BLOODY RESEARCH
@PYROforALWAYS I know amze1234 and i can assure you that she is not a bitch, we both know a thing or two about animals and the fact that this hedgehog isn't dead is its one sturdy little thing or luck! so don't call people bitches please, i didn't see amze1234 or joltingfire5 swear.
@chauncy424 Not a good option. fleece liners or blankets are probably your safest bet; many hedgehog owners use them as an alternative to other bedding. If you do use fleece however, be sure to wash it with a safe detergent (unscented/hypoallergenic).
You need a Solid Wheel. He Could Slip and Break a Leg! you really need to go to Hedgehog Central. yes, they can run 1-2 KM a night! you NEED a wheel, the Appropreate Size, and Shape. without a wheel, they will become Obese and Depressed.
@timbertomboy It's very easy to say that you're taking good care of them when you aren't listening to anyone else's opinion. But as someone has worked at a zoo I can say that his care is DEFINITELY lacking.
And you should never interrupt a drinking animal. If he's drinking, he's thirsty, and should be allowed to quench that thirst undisturbed.
wow, i'm surprized the hedgehog isn't dead yet. Btw, you should really listen to other people's comments, cause trust me, you need some education about hedgehogs. Please grow up. If you don't listen to others, your not going to get anwhere in life.
Gorgeous hedgehog and great video! :) I would love a hedgehog but I already have a cat, 3 rabbits and 2 guinea pigs. lol How many pets do you have? I saw alot of cages?
I'm getting my fist hedgehog in a week :) the breeder I have lined up has me choosing between a snowflake or albino but I like both but I sure as hell am not paying $400 to get one of each which schould I choose and btw nice vid maby ill sub to you
I'm getting my fist hedgehog in a week :) the breeder I have lined up has me choosing between a snowflake or albino but I like both but I sure as hell am not paying $400 to get one of each which schould I choose and btw nice vid maby ill sub to you
I have a question, well a couple of them. Well my gerbil recently died and she was almost 5. My mom is telling me i should get another pet. But i dont want to replace my gerbil. But i really want a hedgehog so i took notes on this video (thats how bad i want one.) But anyways, i was gonna ask a few questions.
1. Are their quills spiky?
2. Do i give them baths?
3. Do they bite?
4. How long do they live?
5. Are they sweet pets?
Thanks so much you helped me alot with the video. :)
I don't own one but my brother wants one so I'm helping him learn, but i read that you MUST bathe them at least once a month, or they get dirt in their claws and quills and it can make them very sick. Also, you MUST keep them warm enough, they die if they get too cold even for a little while.
Very nice care video, you're well educated and I wouldn't listen to those other nobs. I use the same mesh wheel, it works just fine and his feet are much bigger than the holes so there have never been problems.
Do you know how long I should wait until I pick up my hedgie? I got him today :) and I have already picked him up with a towel over a dozen times. I just wanna know when it would be safe for me to pick him up.
Great Video. You are a natural with animals. I really liked how your little hedgie actually did things. Fun to watch him drink and munch down a worm. He seemed to do everything you led him to. It takes a lot of love to draw an animal's personality out and you did it.
don't EVER trust pine. it doesn't matter if it's only a lil scented, the natural scent and oils in the pine can cause some serious respiratory issues. i'm going to vocational school to then go to college for vet tech and the teach always stresses the importance of not using pine bedding. otherwise, not a bad vid. just curious, what other animals were in the tanks in your room?

@ItZuRcOoKiEmOnStEr She is not trying to force him. She is only trying to demonstrate. If she was forcing him, she would pull and force to open his mouth. She is trying to show people if they can really eat them.

@ItZuRcOoKiEmOnStEr the only real problem with the video is the wheel the rest is an okay setup for the hedgehog i've had my hedgehog for two years and half the time i give him tap water, quit being a dipshit and stop picking on kids.

This is a good video. I would probably use fleece bedding instead of wood shavings.. It's just better for them. If you want to be on the safe side

@kitzyx shes clearly an animal hoarder who sees the animals as cute novelties, like toys that she 'owns' thus the neglect and ill treatment of them... some people are so selfish and dont consider the well being of what is another living being, instead looking at them as little cute novelties to poke and push around and keep caged...I could go on and on but i will refrain as i find it too upsetting when i see the plight of animals living like this and i cant do much to help the poor thing

you really do need to do some research. hedgies can't have wire wheels because their feet can get stuck in the holes, you need a solid wheel.

ummmm.. .... actually you never want to buy commercially producced hedgehog food. It's bad. Get either good ferret food, (with all meat) or cat food, (Innova feline perhaps? Or maybe premium edge?) and for ferret food 8 in 1 ultimate or wysong archetype. Tap water isn't good. It has chemicals. Bottled water is better.

Ok now stop with all the "My hedgehog's are fine so don't worry" crap, you can't tell if your hedgehogs are fine now can you? No you cannot. Now stop with the crap and take some advice and stop misleading people.
SpitFir3Tornado 1 year ago 3
Like others have said you shouldn't feed him hedgehog food you should feed him high quality cat or ferret food. And just because hedgehogs won't be killed by most chemicals doesn't mean they are good for them you should use bottled water. And you should alwasy cut off the heads of meal worms because they will bite the insides of the hedgehog.

chauncy424 1 year ago
@chauncy424 Not a good option. fleece liners or blankets are probably your safest bet; many hedgehog owners use them as an alternative to other bedding. If you do use fleece however, be sure to wash it with a safe detergent (unscented/hypoallergenic).

You need a Solid Wheel. He Could Slip and Break a Leg! you really need to go to Hedgehog Central. yes, they can run 1-2 KM a night! you NEED a wheel, the Appropreate Size, and Shape. without a wheel, they will become Obese and Depressed.

OddishThing18 1 year ago
@timbertomboy It's very easy to say that you're taking good care of them when you aren't listening to anyone else's opinion. But as someone has worked at a zoo I can say that his care is DEFINITELY lacking.
And you should never interrupt a drinking animal. If he's drinking, he's thirsty, and should be allowed to quench that thirst undisturbed.
CrimsonxTide 1 year ago 4
wow, i'm surprized the hedgehog isn't dead yet. Btw, you should really listen to other people's comments, cause trust me, you need some education about hedgehogs. Please grow up. If you don't listen to others, your not going to get anwhere in life.

I have a question, well a couple of them. Well my gerbil recently died and she was almost 5. My mom is telling me i should get another pet. But i dont want to replace my gerbil. But i really want a hedgehog so i took notes on this video (thats how bad i want one.) But anyways, i was gonna ask a few questions.
1. Are their quills spiky?
2. Do i give them baths?
3. Do they bite?
4. How long do they live?
5. Are they sweet pets?
Thanks so much you helped me alot with the video. :)

@omgily221
I don't own one but my brother wants one so I'm helping him learn, but i read that you MUST bathe them at least once a month, or they get dirt in their claws and quills and it can make them very sick. Also, you MUST keep them warm enough, they die if they get too cold even for a little while.

Great Video. You are a natural with animals. I really liked how your little hedgie actually did things. Fun to watch him drink and munch down a worm. He seemed to do everything you led him to. It takes a lot of love to draw an animal's personality out and you did it.

don't EVER trust pine. it doesn't matter if it's only a lil scented, the natural scent and oils in the pine can cause some serious respiratory issues. i'm going to vocational school to then go to college for vet tech and the teach always stresses the importance of not using pine bedding. otherwise, not a bad vid. just curious, what other animals were in the tanks in your room?
