I kept one about 15 years ago but one day somebody left the door open and it ran away. I had it for about 6 months. It was so smart that when I called its name it came to me. I don't know now what breed it was but it had big ears unlike most hedgehogs and it loved eating grapes. Yes and I didn't buy it from a pet store but some people gave it to me and told me they found it in their garden. It was pretty small too.
what a cutie ^^ i've got a albino pygmy hedgehog i adopted i named him casper XP lol he wont eat the hedgehog pellets with crushed bugs but he loves cat food and bluberries ^^ it's so cute cause then he gets blue marks around his mouth, but this is the perfect pet for me cause he's super low matenance and dosnt bother anyone else in my apartment
NOTE TO Persons leaving comments; #1. For the final time I wore gloves to keep him from trying to bite fake nails I had on. He could get sick from them. So stop telling me I shouldn't be waring them. I don't ware them normally when handeling my pet. #2. Anymore comments about glove waring and ur comment will be removed. Thanks!
@polkadottedponys i usually see them for around $200 but if you don'thave many breeders around, like my state only has one licensed breeder, they can be a little more expensive
Yes, I asked that - if holding the Hedgehog against your palm would hurt, because you are wearing a glove. This was one of those "Sorry me bad engrish".
BTW, how small are they, aside from the pigmy ones.
My first hogs came from a pet store and were scarred, it took months of gentle handling and bribing with treats to get them to walk about, The Babies two are instinctively rollers until they associate you with treats, they are quiet keen to explore new foods, mealworms wax worms are good treats, Gordon `
Hope you didn't mean picking them up by only their "FUR" because that would hurt them and is highly not a nice way to treat your pet. However, if your asking if it hurts your hand when u pick them up with their back against you... no... if they are scared it can be a little uncomfy... but otherwise no it doesnt hurt nor does it do any damage to you. Just be gentle and try not to startle them before you pick them up.
hey,good job taking care of him. but, don't wear gloves when you're handeling him. you know how he's sniffing you? he's trying to get to know you. wearing gloves, has no scent of you on it, so they won't know weather you're you or not. so what if he likes to chew on nail, don't hold him when you have those long nails on, or just let him crawl on you.
Thanks, but it is not like i ware them everytime I deal with him. Only maybe 3 times a year...... do I ever ware gloves while handeling him! So, back up the advice truck up and get all information first
I usually wont hold him when I have nails done... but the video was recorded the evening before I was to attend a wedding. This is not a daily occurence.
Sorry turtle but none of my information is wrong... more since this video was made over 2 years ago. There maybe some things people can add but none of this is by far WRONG! Thanks for your input tho.
Hi! For the most part Hedgehogs tend to be somewhat independent. They are not like dogs that need or want your attention every min. of everyday. However, it doesn't pertain to ALL hedgehogs. Just like dogs and cats every pet doesn't always follow the suggested guidelines.
I've read somewhere that they can use a small litter box of about 6x6 inches. Also, do they like playing in water? I doubt it, but it was never brought up on sites that I've read.
First off, a 6X6 Inch. is no where near big enough of an area for a hedgehog. If it were a baby just taken from it's mother, it would be fine for sleeping area and to keep him warm. Otherwise no, the smallest I recommend is foot feet long by 3 feet wide. Remember he/she needs room to move, sleep, eat, and potty. As far as playing in water, they are known as a decent swimmer and it is ok to put them in a shallow luke warm water area as long as your there watching him.
Hun no worries lol... for a potty place... yes you could use that, but i am not saying you can train him like a cat and he will go to it when he needs to potty lol... but if u place that within his living cage area u can sure use it as a potty area yes.
I'll see what happens and if he likes it. My next paycheck, I'm definitely getting a hedgehog. Always wanted one since I was little, but thought they were illegal because they were 'exotic' of sorts.
these hedgehogs love people and sleep most of the day and are awke most of the night .they love to play with toys like you would give to cats and a running wheel is a must as they will run about 5 miles a night......
Just so Mr. SMUDGEZX9er knows my Hedgehog never used his wheel *please note there are certains types of a wheel u can use do not use anything open flooring little holes* I have also owned him for over 2 years infact almost 3 now and he is happy and healthy. Also note that cat toys are fine as long as they dont contain catnip. So contact me before leaving uncalled for comments. Emeradam asked if u could treat them like hamsters... u dont use any small running wheels more so hamster type.

Emeradam asked if u could treat them like hamsters... u dont use any small running wheels more so hamster type.
Hedgehogs are a different type of pet... They are not really like a hamster ... they dont per say prefer to run thru tubes and they dont run in wheels... infact bad idea. They are a kind of pet you can handel... but more so one that is interesting to watch what they do on their own... such as mine... put a small stuffed animal in front of him and he trys to bull doze it over. U can ask around and see what others do with their pet hedgehog... each hedgehog's play habits r different.
Please note When I said dont use a wheel I ment anything too small more so not a hamster wheel. Make sure the wheel is solid.. no holes in the running surface. In the end I never used one because I had time to spend with my hedgie outside of his cage where he got most of his excer. an hr after he became active.
You don't know how many times I have sasid this and still continue because no one seems to read the video information. I wore the gloves to protect my nails I just had done. He had this thing for chewing on them so thats why I wore the gloves. There guys can be held without gloves easily. AGAIN I WORE THE GLOVES TO PROTECT MY NAILS. THATS ALL!
When you said that you should buy a hedgehog from a breeder. Well what if there are no breeders in your area and can only find them at a pet store with them? Are you sure they can get sick alot easyer? I live in Las Vegas and they are not eligel here.

Aww!! I want one sooooo bad. I probably will get one too. Are there any signs I should look for in a hedgehog when I go buy one in a pet store, and not a breeder. Like are there any birth disorders that I would have to look out for? I've heard of something like that, but I'm not sure. Anyway, please let me know, thanks! :)
honestly you do not need gloves to handle a hedgehog, my hedgie murray is always relaxed. however like she said if you frighten them they are pretty difficult to handle.
Well they will always do that, it does feel rude but just wake him or her up and kind of keep him or her in your lap for like half an hour atleast, you'll want to do this every day untill he is comfortable.
hedgehogs are fantastic pets! My girlfriend and I are picking one up from a renown breeder in new hampshire tomorrow. Easy maintenance, very social, if kept socialized, varying personalities, they don't bite, only curl up in a spiky ball. Totally harmless and cute pets. A mixture of cat foods for a regular diet supplemented with crickets and/or meal worms on occasion keeps them happy.

Why would someone keep a hedgehog as a pet??? I once found a young hedgehog that was abandoned and while it was cute and all they do NOT make good pets! I was very glad when "my" hedgehog was big enough to release it back into the woods.
hmm.. these pets are african pygmy hedgehogs.. they are captive bred NOT wild.. totally different thing... i keep lizards snakes and i also have a hedgehog he is cute and friendly and he doesnt even curl in ball hes so tame
My hedgehogs aren't "Sidetracked" by me at all, actually they like to snuggle w/ me and also stick their heads out of their blanket and watch TV w/ me, they are very loving, and very social with me ,, sooo no offense at all, but I personally don't think you should judge other hedgies by the ones you have..
i had 14 and a large yard and they race a lot sooo cute they never bite me and they like to be scratched behind the ears and under their chins! :) great pets!
I have an african pygmy hedgehog. She's called Thistle and I adore her. I had to buy a great big tank for her to live in as she is a great escape artist. She has never bit me but is quite partial to a chunk of my hubby. Bless him, he loves her as well. My kids think she is great.
Its a tank with sliding glass doors and she is allowed to run around every day. I take very good care of her, so please don't comment when you don't even know me. She was advertised for sale on the Internet and at least she came to me, someone who tries to make her life as good as it can be.
"One of the main reasons hedgehogs bite is because they are trying to communicate something to you. If your hedgehog bites after you give it a treat he is probably expressing his thoughts about not getting more treats... Unfortunately biting after treats that can be a consequence of hand feeding treats. Other times hedgehogs may bite because they are tired of being out of their cage or because they do not want to do something you are trying to get them to do."

Why would someone keep a hedgehog as a pet??? I once found a young hedgehog that was abandoned and while it was cute and all they do NOT make good pets! I was very glad when "my" hedgehog was big enough to release it back into the woods.

what he means is gloves arent recommended because hedgehogs don't like them and they want to smell your scent

My hedgehogs aren't "Sidetracked" by me at all, actually they like to snuggle w/ me and also stick their heads out of their blanket and watch TV w/ me, they are very loving, and very social with me ,, sooo no offense at all, but I personally don't think you should judge other hedgies by the ones you have..

Your little hedgie is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute but, i really think its a cinnacot bcuz if it were a African pygmy it would be darker
FelicityTurner 3 years ago
Cinnacot is only a color variation, not a species. African pygmies come in cinnacot, albino, white, snowflake, normal, etc.

My vet told me mealworms are okay as snacks but not really recommended as a dietary source because of they're high-fat but low-protein.

I have an african pygmy hedgehog. She's called Thistle and I adore her. I had to buy a great big tank for her to live in as she is a great escape artist. She has never bit me but is quite partial to a chunk of my hubby. Bless him, he loves her as well. My kids think she is great.

NEVER put a hedgie in a tank NEVER.
purefreedom1995 3 years ago
Its a tank with sliding glass doors and she is allowed to run around every day. I take very good care of her, so please don't comment when you don't even know me. She was advertised for sale on the Internet and at least she came to me, someone who tries to make her life as good as it can be.
Take care.

Knorkooli 4 years ago
Know hes fine he just gets scared some times and bites. I guess its like a second defense.
But I love him hes a great Hedgehog.....
2BigNuts2 4 years ago
"One of the main reasons hedgehogs bite is because they are trying to communicate something to you. If your hedgehog bites after you give it a treat he is probably expressing his thoughts about not getting more treats... Unfortunately biting after treats that can be a consequence of hand feeding treats. Other times hedgehogs may bite because they are tired of being out of their cage or because they do not want to do something you are trying to get them to do."
From a site about hedgehogs.
