I just got a hedgehog I love him sooo much already. Yesterday he got out. and I couldn't find him, while i was looking for him i hear my darg bark, and I saw my dog get a faceful of spines and left hm alone. Poor puppy. I would have never though a hedgehog could defend himslef from a 50lb dog. oh well, that'll teach my dog a lesson. So my Q is, are hedgehogs like hamsters when i comes to being escape artists? i hope not, idk how he got out, i must of left the cage open. I'll be more careful now.

@ciciironwill27 No they are not escape artists, they are nocturnal and roam around the house under the furniture, mine would dissapear around the house for a day but the soonest he heard movement around the kitchen it was his cue for coming out to eat :).

Ya I do have a wheel but to him he takes it apart and sleeps under it most of the time when I wake up in the middle of the night I see him on it and he eats a hell load of food like a bowl a day or something we puted him on diet cat food but he still a fatty and when I go to play with him he runs and looks cute but about after five minutes of having him out he hides under something he no going to hibernate

@TheTruthCookie It depends on what you mean by New York. I think you need a license for having it in the state but it's illegal in all boroughs of New York City.

@winxtwins If your hedgehog sleeps constantly, be very careful and get him some warmth and light. It may be trying to hibernate which is LETHAL for an African Pygmy Hedgehog. If he's just lazy, that's different. As long as he occasionally wakes up and eats or something it's okay. Just remember that they need exercise. That's why a solid (not wired) wheel is good for them.

My hedgehog does nothing it's a fatty it sleeps all day and when u play with it is not much fun because he goes back to sleep
