Lloyd Chomping and Anointing

Go to 0:58, he bites the sheets and starts hopping up and down. Its sure to make your day.

This is my new hedgehog Lloyd McStomperson. Sorry about the interference noises, not sure what caused that.

__________________________________
Lloyd is an algerian chocolate-pinto African pygmy hedgehog. I adopted him at around 6 weeks of age on December 22nd, 2010. It's been almost two whole years since I lost Quentin and when the opportunity to have another hedgehog came up, I decided to take it. He is a tad grumpier than Quentin and loves to chew on everything. He has some quirks I'm still getting used to, I can't tell if it's him or Quent that was the odd one!

For information on the legality of owning a hedgehog in your state, please refer to this website:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domesticated_hedgehog#Legality

As a side note on my pet posts, I often get comments about how much people "want one." I encourage you to read up on the proper care and treatment of all of these critters that you want. A pet is not a fashion accessory, collectible, or spur-of-the-moment item, it is a living thing and needs proper care, housing, nutrition, and most importantly attention. It also has hidden costs such as vet bills and food expenses. It is a big responsibility not to be taken lightly.

As a plea for animal welfare I give you this:
If you love hedgehogs and want one, I encourage you to adopt on from a private breeder or rescue one if you can from a shelter or rescue RATHER THAN a pet store. Pet stores support and buy their animals from mass breeders; people who mistreat, abuse, and neglect animals and are only in it for the profit. No respectable breeder would ever sell their animal to a pet store.
