My hedgehog isn't the most unfriendly- he's a little grumpy when I wake him up. With gentle care, even the most mean of hedgehogs can usually learn to enjoy being held. Just talk quietly to your hedgehog, don't make any sudden movements, and watch my video for more tips on handling unfriendly hedgies!

  • ok. now off to blow my hedgehog...

  • If you just gave it some rings or a chili dog once in a while it wouldn't have such an attitude problem.

  • @crazycookie56 mine does it to thats what they always do because it's their defense but once I hold mine it stops

  • I have had my hedgehog for almost two years now and he still doesnt like me. He makes those noises and curls up into a ball! What should I do? PLEASE HELP ME!:)

  • Is that daytime I thought they are nocturnal

  • @wimeradus if you want your hedgehog to become tame, you MUST get him out and play with him every day for at least an hour, be gentle with him, and make sure you give him treats :)

    And with the picking up thing, many people say dont use gloves but personally i think its okay, but not allways. i used gloves to start off with, and every while i stroke him without a glove, and in time i became very pain resistant to his quills and i can hold him bare handed now :)

  • Wait! I think the hedgehog is typing a message!

  • @N64collector96 HAHAHAHAHAHA omg dude.

    hilarious xD but thats bad :P

  • Do you know why hedgehogs poop when you bring them out from when their sleeping?
