10 Things You Need To Know Before Buying A Hedgehog

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

❤️ Read More ❤️
Hey everyone, today's video covers ten basic things I think are important to know before considering buying a hedgehog. There are lots of things that this video does not cover, this by no means is the end all be all of hedgehog care. Please be sure to do substantially more research than this video prior to getting a hedgehog.

    I owned a hedgehog a few years ago and I thought they made great pets. I had my hedgehog when I was 10 until I was 12. I was a bit young but my hedgehog was easy to manage and I didn't have any problems. Here's some additional tips: When you first get your hedgehog, put a shirt or a small piece of clothing that smells like you in their sleeping hut/area so they can feel safer or more comfortable with you. Play with them once a day. I usually played with my hedgehog sometime in the evening when she was most active. I bought a small fence that was bigger than her cage so she could run around more and put her wheel in it and other toys that didn't fit in her cage. Sometimes I had her sit on my lap in a cloth sack, which allows them to feel safe and connected with you. It's a great way to bond! I also gave her meal worms for treats. I mostly used dried up ones as they were less expensive and lasted longer than live ones. For bathing, I would say once or twice a month depending on how dirty your hedgehog or its cage is. Use unscented baby soap and if necessary, a toothbrush to clean it's quills. Also, if you get your hedgehog as a baby it will experience quilling, which is completely normal for young hedgehogs. This is when their quills fall out and new ones grow in. This might cause your hedgehog to hiss more and become more moody, so be careful picking it up as new quills can be painful coming in. Pricing for the hedgehog itself varies depending if you get your hedgehog from a breeder or shelter, etc. Some things you will need for your hedgehog are: Cage Running wheel Bedding (no wood ships or cedar!) Food and water dish/bottle Chew toys Sleep sack (optional) And other fun toys for your hedgehog to play with. I would recommend white bedding so you can easily tell if your hedgehog is injured or its stool looks unusual. Also, if you use a water bottle make sure the metal ball is always working and check it regularly so your hedgehog doesn't get dehydrated if it stops working. Also, tea tree oil is very toxic for hedgehogs so do not handle your hedgehog if you used tea tree oil . Have fun and enjoy your hedgehog!

He was very jumpy and his spikes were crossed. Now (a week later) he is very active and he drinks water and eats his food and he also runs around in a clear ball we got him. He is doing great! He is still getting used to being held because he didn’t get enough attention but other than that he is great! These tips really helped and hopefully my hedgehog will trust me fully over time.

    I saved some wild hedgehogs who were on the road, so cars wouldn't run them over..now they live in our garden. We even built a little house that we placed in some bushes under a tree where they can stay during the winter and they really love to eat the bird food falling out of the bird house :) It's great to watch those little guys run around in the garden :)

He would sleep in my hood and pockets and follow me around, i knew i shouldn't have been keeping it since in England you can't keep the wild hedgehogs as pets so sadly gave him to a friend who owns a hedgehog sancturary

    Thank you for explaining the reality of having a hedgehog. In the past I have had rabbits & guinea pigs. I saw cool videos of them on the Internet and thought that they would be easy to have as a pet. Boy was I wrong! It wasn’t fair to them that they ended up with me as an owner. I realized I am the type of person that wants a cute pet, but with a little work. (Which doesn’t exist lol). . Most of these pet KZread channels do not explain all of the work that goes into having these pets.

I bond with him, after dinner time, so he’s pretty good at coming out and checking things out! He also refuses live insects 😂 he likes his expensive, fancy, cat food. He’s only almost 4 months old, but he’s a delight and I can’t wait for our adventures!

I wished my little babies lived for longer and it’s so sad that they are prone to diseases. That’s 1000% the hardest part. No pet mom wants to watch their babies suffer so it really tore me apart. I’ll always miss them and I’m so happy I got to take care of them though

I wanted to give it something to eat but i had no idea what hedgehogs eat . So i just gave him some water and it was so cute how he was drinking it . Love them so much :D
