hedge hog on his wheel

[MissMillyMunchkin]

Doesnt he dig when hes outside? Id love to let my hedgie have some fresh air but Im worried he'll dig...

[nhgoalie7]

my hedgehog has a big spakley blue wheel and he like to poop while he runs..... c}:

[cherriebee1]

we've got a wheel for our hedgehog but he hasn't used it, has anyone got any tips on how to encourage him to go for a run?! :)

[nhgoalie7]

@cherriebee1 he'll probably use it at night if u jusst leave it in his cage. i had the same problem with my hedgehog but now he loves his wheel. just let him figure it out by himself.

[cherriebee1]

@nhgoalie7 nooo he doesn't :( we've had him for nearly a year now and he just won't use it! he did when we first got him but he ran so fast it came apart and he fell out of it (haha) but i think he's scared of it now! poor little hog. thanks for the reply :)

[dittzybonez]

[prayingmantis619]

[steven1510able]

Get a bigger weel, it is to small. Not good for his back.

[nurizeko]

Needs a bigger wheel.

[Saavykaas]

That's a fit hedgehog.

[ElementalChaosLP]

And that's how Sonic learned to run up loops

[MeiReiNeko]

Sonic soundtrack with this = epic!

[zyx0unknown0xyz]

hm cute but wheels to small i recommend California storm wheel :3

[MTwoOne]

My old hedgehog liked to flip his wheel over to spook himself. I never understood why he did that all the time.

[2002liv]

[2002liv]

[makeuplover929]

My hedgehog is running on her's right now and it is really noisy is yours noisy?

[zyx0unknown0xyz]

@makeuplover929 all wheels are going to have some amount of noise I recommend California storm wheel they are the quietest wheels you can buy.

[ProjectParanoia]

I'm glad you got him a bigger wheel. Thanks for being a caring hedgie mommy :)

[sierrap93]

my hedgehog

[floandlove]

Es hermosoooooooooo!

[TheKennatube]

thats a cute wheel i cant wait to get mine

[CourtneyFaye4]

Like everyone is saying, bigger wheel. But also make sure there are no crossbars because sometimes when running a hedgie will look to the side and well crossbars could literally take the hedgehogs head off... :/

[RobertCrozier123]

that wheel is too small for the little guy. you need a bigger one. it will get too hard on his . her back using one that is his size

[avb889]

Why would you get a hedgehog if you didn't know anything about hedgehogs? Just sayin..

[Swesher9]

@avb889 hey dude it said where he/she got it for the first time.

lol no replying

[hedgehogzilla]

how big is your wheel in inches? im not complaining im just worried mine is too small like maybe even smaller then yours :P i hope its not i dont want to be hurting my lil hedgie anyway he obviously seems happy :)

[GuitarConi2]

@hedgehogzilla

I have a 24inch wheel it was about 24usd or so :)

[frostshaymin989]

heh, sorry i didnt see the glass

[frostshaymin989]

you should get a wheel without wires or he could get hurt!!

[Hpyrr328]

Do hedgehog spikes hurt?

[GuitarConi2]

@Hpyrr328

They do at first, before you get use to them. But even after you do, sometimes they hurt a little. But not much to cry about :). Rather get a hedgehog prick then a vaccine needle lol :).

[Hpyrr328]

@GuitarConi2

Lol! Haha nice one :) Thanks for the info!

[thepebbl3]

mute the music -_-

[hedgehog101sabra]

@caroline7dava

Cute video! You did good so far! PVC tube= happy hedgie! A bigger wheel might be better. Mine use whisper wheels. (Go to hedgehogs by Vickie) I just got that caging for mine to play in, but I just saw a video of one managing to climb out. So, you might want to watch them carefully when playing in that.

[Adreiine]

Awww she looks just like mine! Do you know what color she is by chance? Mine however poops aaaaall over her wheel every time.

[BestHedgehog]

Can you let them run around in the grass without a cage

[kopykopykopy]

here is a tip: do not scare a hedgehog cus if you scare him and he first likes you then he will be scared of you until you do something nice for him

[macmow]

so cute!!!

[saradomin02]

awww so cute :)

[emilycarrey]

I love his cute little legs.

[siannacooking4fun]

Is that his 24/7 cage or did you just take him out on a warm day?

[caroline7dava]

@siannacooking4fun That was just for playing outdoors

[caroline7dava]

@siannacooking4fun Just a warm day:)

[wockyky]

Actually that wheel is a decent size.

Comparing to this one

youtube(dot)com/watch?v=6e1P32­bPoos&playnext_from=TL&videos=­VEiSiyRxcuU&feature=grec

[shaelikestaquitos]

@wockyky

They're both really bad for the hedgehog. The size causes strain on their spines which can lead to problems later on, and the bars on the side can hurt your hedgie as they can trip on them.

[OliviaSaysHi1]

Where did you get the wheel for your hedgehog?? I cant find them anywhere!

[GuitarConi2]

@OliviaSaysHi1

Normal size ones (for hamsters) are found in stores, but sometimes depending on where you live (me knowing because I to checked all my stores.). Could not find a wheel that was a safe size for my hedgehog. However, I did find one by luck when going into Petco and getting one that was 24inches. But, the people in the store said most likely to find a larger wheel is to search online.

[crazybud32]

i need urgent help...my hedgehog has never learned how to run on the wheel and whenever i try to put her on she just hops back off

i dont know how to get her to start running somebody please help me

[msndokaralho]

@crazybud32 just leave it there. occasinally, she'll hop in by her own. If not, then she don't enjoy running at all.

[crazybud32]

aww thanks so much

i was starting to think there was something wrong with her

[BRIANx978]

if the wheel is too small then when he runs he can get back problems

[tw702]

4 some reason,sonic,my hedgehog,wont go in his wheel and its the same size

[Mage0Hallow]

I have the same wheel sir, but bigger

[caroline7dava]

By the way I am very happy that everybody is concerned about him and I am glad to get all the tips, he is also very happy for all the help, I am sure he appreciates all his hedgehog safe toys now

[TheAssassinBand]

@caroline7dava best part is he wil be fighting egg man and shadow in know time then he wil be in the olympics summer and winter lol

[caroline7dava]

I didnt know anything about hedgehogs when I first got him, about a week before this video was taken. So just to let everyone know he does have a bigger wheel thanks  :)

[medjai30]

Very cute hedgehog, looks happy and well taken care off ;) But like some others have pointed out, the wheel looks to small. A normal sized hedgehog needs a wheel that is minimum 12 inches and bigger hogs needs 15 inches, and without the side bars. You scould look for a bucket type wheel ;) But other than that it was a joy to watch ;)

[shycat2004]

Where can you get a cute little hedgie hog?

[PenguinGirls]

i got mine from a breeder in winter haven they are the cutest things and very lovable.

chrissie

[garglehead5]

He's like a ninja trying to find an escape he sorta reminds me of the Ginnie pigs from that new movie g force

[Dredued]

Evry thing you got for the little hedghog is great but one prob. The wheel has bars on the out side of the wheel. Hedgehogs have been known to stick there head out while runing and get face injurys. So you should get a bucket typ wheel to be safe.

[piccolacucciola95]

cute!! it's very amazing!

[candychic7575]

That wheel is too small for that hedgehog, but it's good for them. you can tell it's happy though, and that's what really matters, just know that your hedgie can get back damage from a small wheel. Thanks for being a caring hedgehog owner! :D

[photographymatt]

my hog loves his wheel too. Im jeulous of all you people with your friendly hogs. Get a egyptian long ear hog if you need an attack hog...lol

[AcTXvAizeNt]

i thought hedgies were nocturnal,so by the way, thats a really cute hedgie!

[dav3meier]

that wheel is very dangerous for hedgies

i suggest getting a bucket wheel or flying saucer as it is less likely they will be hurt on one of those

[WishStone]

Well, the wheel might be a bit small, but they are not 'very dangerous'. My hedgehog has a similar one; custom-made by a family who run a hedgehog rescue. They are as safe as any other wheel can be, because falling, wheels trapping hedgies and so on can happen.

The bucket wheels have two huge disadvantages, the bigger one being hygiene. Hedgies pee and poop while they run. The bucket wheels gather that stuff into the infamous poopie boots.

[mellimu]

I have a hedgehog thats 4 months old now and he never seems to be able to figure out what to do with a wheel. If I set him in it he just sits there or trys to crawl out. Any suggestions?

[Cozypup]

i bought my hedgie a wheel but it was made for hamsters , lol, and this bar thing stuck out and my hedgie had to incline her back and....ugh we returned the wheel...and btw cute music on the video!

[spartanlawl]

what an active little hedgie!

and in day light too!
