Domesticated Hedgehogs

[myfeetdontlikeshoes]

On the plus side, if you have long-ish hair you can use the hedgehog's spineys as a hair brush

[HandfulOfMinutes]

@myfeetdontlikeshoes Hahaha.....nice one. I think I'd have to grow an afro but I might be willing, if I had a little hedgehog.

[teamorangeapple]

I am here because of Tom Milsom

[HandfulOfMinutes]

@teamorangeapple Haha, yeah I saw his pleasant noise on Twitter there. Thanks for stopping by! I'd like to say you won't regret subscribing, but who knows what the future may hold?

[teamorangeapple]

@HandfulOfMinutes Subscribe... to you? Of course I did!

[HandfulOfMinutes]

@teamorangeapple D'aw shucks....

[MsPainfullyAwkward]

This is brilliant. Great job!

[HandfulOfMinutes]

@MsPainfullyAwkward Thank you! It's almost a year old and I reckon we've improved a great deal since, so please feel free to check out our other episodes.

[Anonymouzor]

Hedgehogs reminds me of guinea pigs

[ciarahasawesome]

Lol hedgehogs are far superior to lol cats. And now I want one.

[HandfulOfMinutes]

Just make sure you have plenty of space for the little fella (or MADAM)!

[ElswortNEA]

This makes me feel bad for hedgehogs. Their lives are kind of sad. Now I no longer wish I was Sonic.

[HandfulOfMinutes]

Don't give up! They can have very happy little lives, they just need to be managed quite carefully.

[usaorbust]

my hedgehog has Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome, he will be leaving us today :(

[HandfulOfMinutes]

Oh I'm sorry to hear that, it's never easy to lose somebody you care about.

[wiidog91]

i should get a hedgehog and name him Mario!! (yep i am a Nintendo fan) but sonic is cool too lol

[HandfulOfMinutes]

Just make sure to give him at least five square feet of space! UUGHGHGHG FAT, SELF-CUTTING HEDGEHOGS AUGUAGUGUHUHGHH

[Elrich89]

Those hedgehog edible potato-things look worryingly like hedgehogs which have been dunked into a deep-fat fryer.

[HandfulOfMinutes]

It certainly raises questions, doesn't it?

Thankfully, they're made of bits of pork.

[relmonkey9]

oh my gosh! i have a hedgehog, his name is elvis and hes really cute

[HandfulOfMinutes]

Nice! How much space does the little King have to run around in?

I won't lie, I actually really would love to have a pet hedgehog but there's no way I have the supposedly required room in my apartment to keep one happy.

[xDark2Lightx]

charlie is so coolike faved u

[HandfulOfMinutes]

He also made me a guest video a couple of months ago - it's on my channel, you should check it out!

[W0lfbaneShikaisc00l]

whos swarn XD

[HandfulOfMinutes]

Schwan is the man that men wish they were and women want to be with.

Schwan also spends his evenings teaching bears to ride horses.

[slylink690]

Well In My High School, We Had An Animal Care Program, & We Had Just Gotten A Hedgehog.

There Were Alot Of Rules Of What To Do And What Not To Do Around It & How To Take Care Of It.

& If "It" Didn't Recognize You Then It Would Get Stressed Out, Angry, And Hiss At You!

SO Frustrating! >:O

But It Was So Cute! :D

I Can See Why You're So Upset By Them!

But I Wouldn't Even Think About Owning One Myself!

I Didn't Know Of The Psychological Study Before.

Another Interesting Video Oliver!

-Steven

[HandfulOfMinutes]

I'm glad you liked it man, thanks for the story as well.

I've certainly calmed down now, but oh man my initial reaction while learning about them was pretty off the hook.

Then I ended up just laughing at myself when I realized I was getting more wound up by a cute little animal then any of the mind-blowingly terrible things I've covered before!

[HandfulOfMinutes]

Radioactive lakes? Whatever. Hedgehogs? BLAUAGUAGUAGUGUGUGUHUHHHH

[jackeyramone]

New camera?

[HandfulOfMinutes]

Oddly, no! But I haven't been able to upload directly to Youtube for a month and the workaround I was using prevented me from uploading in HD.

Perhaps it's the contrast that makes it look new?

[jackeyramone]

Ohh well whatever it is it looks a lot clearer, the contents of the videos hasn't changed though, still as funny and entertaining as ever!

[HandfulOfMinutes]

Thanks!

[teddyboink]

love the vids, but turn the volume up on the voice

[HandfulOfMinutes]

Glad to hear you're enjoying them! Sorry about the volume, it's always kind of a juggling act between "smoother, but quieter" and "louder but messier".

I'll try tweaking it a bit more to the latter for the next one.

[asimplecadence]

What the eff? Hahahaha, such a random topic! This episode was made of win! Favorited.

Ehhhh, if I ever wanted a hedgehog, I don't want one now. I think I'll stick with the video game variety :]

[HandfulOfMinutes]

You can blame this entire episode on a single picture of a pet hedgehog that a friend sent me two months ago. It...sort of set something off! I'm glad you liked it.

[mapleloaf67]

ha ha ha ...

[metalorg]

No matter how I look at it, green feces seems to be a positive.

[HandfulOfMinutes]

You watched "You Can't Do That On Television" as a kid eh?

[metalorg]

I did. The man's shattering face was like a mirror for my terrified being.

[Shawnmeat]

So from now on I am calling multiple sclerosis WOBBLY HUMAN SYNDROME

[Shawnmeat]

Also, the reason Oliver looks slightly elated to be brutally run down by Future Oliver is because he is relieved to see that in the not-too-distant future he will get a haircut and a real job.

[HandfulOfMinutes]

I have nothing to offer in response to this analysis but humble applause.

[HandfulOfMinutes]

Although I suspect that Schwan would have put it better.

[katiezellner]

No! :( I really should have thought of that, but i didn't !!!

Hedgehogs are actually quite soft if you pet them the right way :)

[katiezellner]

i have pet several hedgehogs, in fact i've pet the second largest hedgehog in the US

[HandfulOfMinutes]

That's awesome! Do you have any pictures of the not-so-little fella online?

[jbrowsingj]

This video only makes me want one more.

You have failed in your goal, how does that make you feel?

[HandfulOfMinutes]

Haha, I'm pretty okay with that. Like I said, if folk still want a hedgehog after watching this episode then I salute them!

[aquamonet]

And you can't really snuggle with them or stroke them cause of the prickles. :(
