ik this sounds weird but thanks for posting this, iv seen about 3 or 4 other videos and they are of like 13 year old girls and it sounds like their first pet and every other word is um as they describe them. its easier to trust someone whos had alot of experience.
I had to get rid of it because he had this awful habit of bunching up into a ball and running over loose change. I tried catching him but he was way too fast. Are they suppose to be blue and wear sneakers?
Mind Magic Films I had my original hedgehogs shipped to me on airlines (same like you would fly on). I later found some locally. But basically just look on google for local breeders or animal expos. The animal expo that happens twice a month near me usually has hedgehogs. Usually you can find an animal expo not too far from you.
I kept and bred over 50 hedgehogs. All mine were calm and tame. Handled daily from 1 week old. I did have one that was a bit of a brat. But she calmed down after a couple minutes out of cage. But yeah this is how properly bred and socialized hedgehogs should act. Sadly, a lot of bad breeders out there and inexperienced buyers.
This is a great video for people who see an animal and decide spur of the moment they want one. To be informed ahead of time can let them know if they really do want one so they don't make them a disposable pet which is bad for the animal. It also tells people not familiar with a particular animal on how to properly care for them. Some won't read a book but would look at a video like this. This is a great service for the animal to be sure they are properly cared for and hopefully in a home where they will be cared for and not neglected.
I've had my hedgehog for about a year and a half and she's only bitten me a couple of times. Both times were when I put my finger near her mouth. She sniffed it, then bit it to see if it tasted good XD
Thank you for doing video's like this. Too many people just up and buy pets before knowing anything about them and then just quit when they are having trouble.
I just wanted to thank you for all your informational hedgehog videos. We have been watching them for preparation for our first hedgehog. Thanks again!! ^_^
Awesome video. I bought my hedgehog from someone who didn't take care of him. He was taken to the vet immediately after I purchased him because his cage was horrid. He had internal and external mites. Malnourished and nails were long and split. I'm happy to say he is mite free and very healthy. I'm so glad I purchased him or he may not be alive today. DONT BUY PETS if you're not going to properly care for them!
My sister rescues wild hedgehogs in the fall, when she finds ones just after the first frost, that are too small and skinny to survive the winter. She then cares for them just long enough to fatten them up, so they can hibernate. It's fun to give them options, letting them "find" and choose good building materials they decide they want for their nest - some of them have very unique preferences. You have to make sure that you also keep exposing them to the cold, so that the hibernation instinct kicks in, and once they doze off, put them in a cold part of the basement to sleep the months away until the snow melts in the spring.
congrats for that very simple but well presented video ! Too many people rush into things just cause they want a cool pet and do not get to do their research first.
Thank you for covering the way they bond. I'm a dog person but have always loved cute little hedgehog faces. Since I am so used to the close bond with my dogs I think I would always prefer them. Maybe a hedgehog is an animal I should continue to admire but not own.
Thank you so much for this informative video! I’ve always wanted a hedgehog and I’m glad I came across your video! As someone else said, there’s a lot of questionable info from young kids out there, so it’s nice to get some real, practical advice from a knowledgeable person like you! Thanks! 🦔
Just found a baby hedgehog and he or she is off to a sanctuary via the rspca, cute little thing, found in the day, happy ending glad to say, been looking at videos on how to care for hedgehogs, very impressed with yours, good job friend..
OK - I checkout your hedgehog videos and you don't address a few things like, lifespan, illnesses/diseases, how to tell male from female and if they are loners or can live within a community. Also, are they able to breed at any time or do they go into estrus?
They are loners, they are happiest solitary:) Life span is 3-5 years. Illnesses....well there's a degenerative nervous system disease called "Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome" that's similar to human MS; occasionally they develop it, but it's rare. Males have what looks like a large, pink belly button, it's actually their penis! Females don't have that. The females don't have cycles, they have induced estrus. So they can technically breed at any time. Wasn't sure if you were asking, or just making suggestions for future videos.....if you were just making suggestions, sorry! If you really were asking a question, there's a bit of info:)
Mimi Markowski Thanks Mimi! I am really asking! I have been considering getting a hedgehog for sometime now, but want to REALLY research about them and know what I am getting into. Too many times people don't research and dive right in with their eyes closed and the pet suffers. I don't need to know if the hedgehog is right for me, but rather if I am right for the hedgehog. Can't have too much info as far as I'm concerned. :) Thanks again!
Oh oh google "Hedgehog Care Free E-Book", there's a LARGE breeder that has an accurate book out on their care, and it's free! West Coast Hedgehogs I think is the place. Check it out:) And make sure they're legal in your state!
***** i have one for winter, hibernating now, & will be released in april.. sure it s a nice pet, smart with character, but it s not clean at all & worst thing it really stinks (a european one, no idea if other are "better") no matter how often you clean his place..
***** If you truly want a hog what about when you are in school or at work. Will you still have time every night to give them hours of attention. "fifteen minutes a day is all they need" is what little kids say to make themselves feel better for not spending the proper amount of time with their animals. You are your hedgehogs sole companion. They are very solitary creatures but if you want them to feel safe and happy around humans then you need to handle them for a good portion of time every day. It can be as easy as holding them in your lap while you do homework. Are you also prepared for the annual vet visit and late night emergency room visit. They will nibble on almost anything and can get stuff impacted in their systems. Surgery is a nice $1,000 bill. Can you clean the litter and cage daily and sanitize it weekly no matter what circumstances your life is going through? Can you still love an animal for eight years who will bite you every day and huff no matter how much attention you give him/her? Thank you for researching. Too few people do and throw their animals at a rescue after a couple months or years(like the rescue I work at). It's hard to see it happen but so many happy people come in and want to adopt an animal, and even people who make it through our screening process still bring animals they recently adopted back to us. One girl tried to EXCHANGE her ferret with us. I was appalled.
I have been thinking about getting a hedgehog, I however have no experience with it. This is a good video bringing awareness to shady pet breeders/dealers, as well as educating potential pet owners.
I'm from Portugal and unfortunately we don't have any information/resources about/for exotic animals so thank you for this videos! I'm learning about Hedgehog because soon i will get one and your videos are very educational. I loved you ferrets videos too. Learned a lot.
@@lexiegust2045 i suppose that its about how old are they. My have 3months and when he bites me, yes i feel it but in scale 1-10 it hurts just like 2. The older ones probably hurts you more.
hello! I have been thinking about getting a cute hedgie! I have 2 questions about them so i know what to do when i need to. My first q. is Does holding your hedgehogs hurt sometimes? i know because their prickly. second Q. Are they smelly? My mom thinks thats a big problem if they are. :P
1: Hedgehogs can be prickly if they're in a ball. So, if they're balled up, don't pick them up. try to pick them up from underneath them. Handling them= nicer hedgie. 2: No, they don't smell bad.
I got a cockatiel(parrot). He bit me the first two weeks. I had him for three months now and I got him when he was 3 months old. Now he talks and sings and he never bites me( sometimes he does) and he loves me so much and I love so much.
most of te time when i see that its regarding chinchillas and how you're not supposed to bathe them which is true actually and can kill you chinchilla. Basically due to their fur if you bathe them in water and do not dry them well mold can grow in their fur because the moisture get trapped in their fur. Also if you do not dry them correctly you can overheat them which can also make them very sick.
Excellent video man! I'm a big dog kinda guy, I have 20 month old lab pit brother and sister that keep me on my toes and love them for it, but the hedgehog is such an endearing little creature and your passion for them shines through. No doubt your vids have helped a lot of people. I just learned a lot about something I knew nothing about! Thanks man! Wicked cool! Peter in Boston
nice video. when my Dad was stationed in Germany in the late 60's early 70's, we could find hedgehogs in the bushes. i had one as a pet for a long time, and was very tame. i even brought it to the states via airplane hidden in my Mom's purse, very sweet animal.
this is a very great video i dont plan on getting a hedge hog but i like to educate my self on all pets out there becouse i am planing on going into vetainarian school when i graduate and this really helped me understand a little bit more about these beautiful creaturs
I got turned off from this video when he started talking about not buying animals that are not tame. Why should animals not find a home because they weren't given extra care? Many breeders see their litters as profit, not friends. It's up to the owner to see their purchase as a friend. I've tamed all my animals. It takes time and patience and trust. An animal isn't just going to like you. Would you walk up to a stranger, follow them around and try to talk to them all day? No. That's naive. Lord, are people really this ignorant?
+Keanna Support bad breeders, and more and more untame, unhandled animals get bred. Stop buying pets from bad breeders, and they have no sales, and they stop breeding. Simple my friend. Logic.
+Earthling1984 Sadly, that's not how it works. If you could just shut down bad breeding companies, petco would have been out of business a long time ago. From unhandles animals, to cages that are too smart, and unhealthy foods they are way over priced. Animals shouldn't be not given a chance simply because they need a little bit more work. And there's laws for animal safety. If you feel someone is a shitty breeder, you CAN report that person. They could see the inside of a prison. But not handling the animals you breed is not a crime.
+Earthling1984 I watched your video on bearded dragons 100 times before I went out and got my beardie. I just don't agree that animals shouldn't have good home because they're harder to tame due to lack of handling from their breeder. They're not unhealthy. Just skittish. That is a fixable problem of little cost.
I got a hedgehog from a guy in my class who didn't have the time to take care of it. He gave me a ton of bedding and I thought I was supposed to change it 1 time every two days, but now that you informed me it was one week I'll save a lot more. Also I was oblivious to the fruits and vegetables, so thank you for that
For hedgehogs I recommend using blankets with no fringe, and low lint levels, like fleece, and just use that on the floor of the cage, because they will eat the bedding that is shredded. I also give them a small blanket square of the same material to snuggle in in their house.
First of all she is hell of cute lol. She's just chilling through the whole video. Funny too because I have a Chinchilla and her name is Jasmine! Secondly this was a very helpful video, thanks!
im glad to have found your account! you explain so well and beside of my 'hedghog books' i guess this will be another good way to gather more knowledge about hedgehogs before getting one as a pet:) thanks very much and greetings from germany!
You should make one about Nile monitors. It's horrible how many people buy a Nile monitor because of its cheap price before realizing what they are actually like. I've got an entire channel dedicated to Nile monitors. Most people Dee the cheap price tag and don't realize how much work they are. they also don't realize that 99% of them will bite you constantly from the first time you handle them. I have a bunch of videos showing how tame they can become with proper care but most people don't understand their behavior and in MOST cases they make terrible companions. They can also reach 5 feet in the first year of life which is utterly overwhelming for new owners. I love your channel and would love it if you mentioned my channel. If my issues were truly addressed Florida would not have its issues with invasive species.
My hedgehog's most favourite food was scrambled egg made with milk only no butter/fat to keep calories down. He loved butter but only allowed a lick on special occasions. Lean ham was popular with him too and the mealworms were gobbled up in seconds. One word of caution, please be careful to keep your hedgehogs play area free from long hair strands as it can get wrapped around its leg and over time if unnoticed gets embedded under the skin and cut the circulation off. Rare, but vets says it does happen.
Thanks. I've had over 50 hedgehogs. Never any issues, injury, or illness. All I kept lived over 6 years, and, a few over 8 years (a record?)! Milk and butter are not recommended for hedgehogs. I would not suggest anyone feed that. Eggs are fine for hedgehogs. Always look up what foods you plan to feed so you know if they are safe. Most people think milk is safe for any animal, but, it's not.
+Jacob Duffles Andrade Yes, that is why only single level cages. Of course, I am Earthling, my hedgehog was in no danger by an edge with me around. But they need a single level cage and shouldn't be left up high on anything unattended.
I have one living in the garden, I never see it untill midnight or early evening I feed it catfood but not in cans and I give it water it overlived the winter and looked good
"They're very clumsy and prone to falling off"
*hedgehog is on edge of table*
ik this sounds weird but thanks for posting this, iv seen about 3 or 4 other videos and they are of like 13 year old girls and it sounds like their first pet and every other word is um as they describe them. its easier to trust someone whos had alot of experience.
Thanks. I try to give real facts from my experiences. I am glad you enjoyed and learned something!
I had to get rid of it because he had this awful habit of bunching up into a ball and running over loose change. I tried catching him but he was way too fast. Are they suppose to be blue and wear sneakers?
Wasn't hard for me :D
LOL
OMG LOLOLOL
mportklr you did me a goof
you fucking *B A M B O O Z L E D* me!
Warning: They might run faster than the speed of sound.
gotta go fast
Thankyou for all of the videos, they have really helped me on my journey to getting my first hedgehog!
You are the ONLY person who answered every question I had. Thank you for being intelligent and informative.
is this the lead singer of nickleback?
Omg 😂😂😂
+zebelian No he's clearly James Franco
+Jordan Bookhart spot on😂😂😂😂
Saul Silver
just his clone te he
I can’t believe a video 8 yrs ago can help me now, thank you
Of course it can :) and I've kept and bred over 50 hedgehogs. I'm the original "Pet Tuber". I have many hedgehog videos. :)
very informative video.. I just bought my daughter a 7 week old hedgehog (Benny) He seems like a really nice boy and we do love him!
Glad you are enjoying your new pet!
Earthling1984 can you use both shreded and not shreded newspaper
I wouldn't ever use newspaper
Earthling1984 why
Earthling1984 or. Reptibark
Didnt know Nicolas cage was breeding hedgehogs
Ghost Rider the Hedgehog
😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think he looks like James Franco.
Tom Fisher ooh I see that too
Didn't know Jesus was breeding hedgehogs
also that would be a great film with Nicholas cage the ferret breeder
this is such a compassionate and wonderful youtube channel i love this.

I'm so happy I'm subscribed to you! your videos are so informative, and you're so well spoken. I love your videos!

im in animal science in boces but they didn't teach us a lot about our hedgehog so thanks for this!! im planning to get one soon this is so helpful
Not only you know what you're talking about, you present it very well...
Thanks :)
+Earthling1984 -You're very welcome...I'm from MA. Do you have any suggestions where i would look to purchase a hedgehog?

+Earthling1984 - thank you, that is kind of you to give me that information. Much appreciated....
God bless you, it's terrifying to see how calm the hedgehog was, like he knew what he was doing.
I kept and bred over 50 hedgehogs. All mine were calm and tame. Handled daily from 1 week old. I did have one that was a bit of a brat. But she calmed down after a couple minutes out of cage. But yeah this is how properly bred and socialized hedgehogs should act. Sadly, a lot of bad breeders out there and inexperienced buyers.
Thanks chad Kroger
FrostByte Lmfao. Thats who I thought it was too! Really cool lookin dude, wish i looked like that.
+FrostByte Look at this hedgehog, every time I do I make a Vlog
This is a great video for people who see an animal and decide spur of the moment they want one. To be informed ahead of time can let them know if they really do want one so they don't make them a disposable pet which is bad for the animal. It also tells people not familiar with a particular animal on how to properly care for them. Some won't read a book but would look at a video like this.

"Sniff sniff" NOM
Slump Cat lol
That's super normal as far as I know because it's just a contact bite for them to figure out if it's tasty and can be eaten xD
This was actually super helpful and entertaining to watch as you are a very good speaker. Thank you so much!
How do you get your pet hedgehog to collect all the chaos emeralds and eat rings for extra lives? mine keep dying when i feed them gold rings :(
xD
Why 😂😂
Lol
you can't just train any hedgehog for that, you have to have the rare blue hedgehog... those are the only kind you can train for that type of thing.
she is nice and handsome but she is soo dat sry for saying
Thank you for doing video's like this. Too many people just up and buy pets before knowing anything about them and then just quit when they are having trouble.
Who knew Nickelbacks lead singer had Hedgehogs?
I was just about to comment that too! Haha
played by james franco
Thought of that, had to make sure no one else already said it, "FUCK"
I thought that guy was into gerbils.
nickleback is trash lmfao

Does your hedgehog gotta go fast?
linsta sometimes if he finds his red shoes
The Melodious as a person that collects shoes I can confirm that he got my shoes and ran at the speed of light
Just bought a hedgehog and it's so nice! It loves to play and I made sure to get it the most safe cat food u said to buy
You do awesome pet videos thanks man!

Just found a baby hedgehog and he or she is off to a sanctuary via the rspca, cute little thing, found in the day, happy ending glad to say, been looking at videos on how to care for hedgehogs, very impressed with yours, good job friend..
Can I paint my hedgehog blue? What kind of paint should I use?
Also, what kind of drug should I use to make it more energetic?

What does that mean

Your diet is 90% cat food, 10% insects?

+Neuza Correia Awesome! Good luck with your hedgehog and other pets!
I really like hedgehogs, and I often see them in my garden at night. Caging them seems cruel, they're made to wander.
These are African Pygmy Hedgehogs, *not* European hedgehogs.
Oh so you don't have them in the wild in the US?
Nope, none.
I see, that makes sense. European hedgehogs are great, and they'll happily trundle into my kitchen to eat the cat food.
hold this little spiky rat in your hand, makes you feel good.
I didn't know James Franco knew so much about hedgehogs. Thanks for the informative video!!
My hegehog did bite me several times, because he was curious how do my fingers taste. :D
Ježíš Kristus Does it hurt when they bite?
@@lexiegust2045 i suppose that its about how old are they. My have 3months and when he bites me, yes i feel it but in scale 1-10 it hurts just like 2. The older ones probably hurts you more.
please keep making videos you have helped me soooo much I mean so much thank you for making videos your awesome!!!
Thanks James Franco from Pineapple Express!
You are so good with all of your animals! So much respect man.
hello! I have been thinking about getting a cute hedgie! I have 2 questions about them so i know what to do when i need to. My first q. is Does holding your hedgehogs hurt sometimes? i know because their prickly. second Q. Are they smelly? My mom thinks thats a big problem if they are. :P
Maya Cherikos My mom had a hedchog and we are getting a nother one and she said they do not smell
1: Hedgehogs can be prickly if they're in a ball. So, if they're balled up, don't pick them up. try to pick them up from underneath them. Handling them= nicer hedgie.
2: No, they don't smell bad.
1. Only if the quills are up or they are in a ball
2. No, the only thing that smells is the wheel but if you clean it correctly they do not smell
thank you so much the helpful advice I'm planning on getting my first in a couple of weeks and your videos have answered alot of questions
how the heck did you have the money for 40 hedgehogs
Considering the majority of them I bred in my home it really wasn't that much :)
Earthling1984 concidering that, how much is a good about to pay for a hog from a breeder?
they usually cost 150 to 200
awesome. the nearest breeder is asking $175 and a $50 reservation fee for the next litter. any tips for young hedgehogs?
garbage or recycle or compost.
I got a cockatiel(parrot). He bit me the first two weeks. I had him for three months now and I got him when he was 3 months old. Now he talks and sings and he never bites me( sometimes he does) and he loves me so much and I love so much.
Walking through it with their poopy Hands :D
I was on the Slingshot channel an hour ago. Now I'm here, watching tutorial videos for pets I'll never own.
Omg stubby legs omg
jessica morgan they actually have very long legs :)
Wish we had hedgehogs in Australia, would love to see one in real life! Really enjoyed this video, no fuss- just easy to understand info :) thankyou!

Nickelback??
The Mando'ade XD He really looks like him
Really enjoyed your video. Thanks for the vid and the info.
I got turned off from this video when he started talking about not buying animals that are not tame. Why should animals not find a home because they weren't given extra care? Many breeders see their litters as profit, not friends. It's up to the owner to see their purchase as a friend. I've tamed all my animals. It takes time and patience and trust. An animal isn't just going to like you. Would you walk up to a stranger, follow them around and try to talk to them all day? No. That's naive. Lord, are people really this ignorant?
+Keanna Support bad breeders, and more and more untame, unhandled animals get bred. Stop buying pets from bad breeders, and they have no sales, and they stop breeding. Simple my friend. Logic.
+Earthling1984 Sadly, that's not how it works. If you could just shut down bad breeding companies, petco would have been out of business a long time ago. From unhandles animals, to cages that are too smart, and unhealthy foods they are way over priced. Animals shouldn't be not given a chance simply because they need a little bit more work. And there's laws for animal safety. If you feel someone is a shitty breeder, you CAN report that person. They could see the inside of a prison. But not handling the animals you breed is not a crime.
If more people were smart and didn't buy from them, they would be shut down. But sadly humans aren't very smart.
+Earthling1984 I watched your video on bearded dragons 100 times before I went out and got my beardie. I just don't agree that animals shouldn't have good home because they're harder to tame due to lack of handling from their breeder. They're not unhealthy. Just skittish. That is a fixable problem of little cost.
My dog is crippled and is quite agro but she's from a rescue center and she is realy fun no regrets WHO CARES IF SHE BITES SHE.IS.FAM-I-LY
Just got a hedgehog! This is very helpful! Thank you!
the way you said, "or they walk through it with their poopie hands.", made me laugh out loud a strange amount.
man your profile picture is majestic, i am thinking about getting one and i just found your videos tonight.
:) thanks! Search my channel for "hedgehog". I have many hedgheog videos and care videos.
Thanks for your videos, they help a lot.
You do a great tutorial.
ive just bought a pet hedgehog and i only watch your hedgehog videos because i trust you!! lol
2:08 "they are very clumsy and prone to falling..." as she is right next to the edge of the table hahaha
I found it funny when you were talking about them walking in their food dish
Wonderful video! My son gave me a wonderful hedgehog and I love it.
I got a hedgehog from a guy in my class who didn't have the time to take care of it. He gave me a ton of bedding and I thought I was supposed to change it 1 time every two days, but now that you informed me it was one week I'll save a lot more. Also I was oblivious to the fruits and vegetables, so thank you for that
For hedgehogs I recommend using blankets with no fringe, and low lint levels, like fleece, and just use that on the floor of the cage, because they will eat the bedding that is shredded. I also give them a small blanket square of the same material to snuggle in in their house.
Also my hedgehog definitely bonded to me, she would run to me over hiding spots when placed in a room, and she would just chill in my lap.
I recommend Aspen bedding. I have used it for over 40 hedgehogs. Its easy and safe. Never had a sick hedgehog. And no, they don't eat it.
+Earthling1984 hm. maybe that is just a thing that some hedgehogs do.
First of all she is hell of cute lol. She's just chilling through the whole video. Funny too because I have a Chinchilla and her name is Jasmine!
Secondly this was a very helpful video, thanks!
im glad to have found your account! you explain so well and beside of my 'hedghog books' i guess this will be another good way to gather more knowledge about hedgehogs before getting one as a pet:) thanks very much and greetings from germany!
Glad to help! Good luck with your pets!
You should make one about Nile monitors. It's horrible how many people buy a Nile monitor because of its cheap price before realizing what they are actually like. I've got an entire channel dedicated to Nile monitors. Most people Dee the cheap price tag and don't realize how much work they are. they also don't realize that 99% of them will bite you constantly from the first time you handle them. I have a bunch of videos showing how tame they can become with proper care but most people don't understand their behavior and in MOST cases they make terrible companions. They can also reach 5 feet in the first year of life which is utterly overwhelming for new owners. I love your channel and would love it if you mentioned my channel. If my issues were truly addressed Florida would not have its issues with invasive species.
I think it's funny how it is so still and doesn't feel the need to move around.
Has food and water readily available daily, trusts me fully. No reason to move much :)
My friend has a hedgehog. When she eats her food it's so funny. I love it so much. Interesting animals
I think i love you because you love the animals,and you respet to they thanks for your videos ^^
How do you find a reputable breeder? Where are you located? Thanks for all the great info in all your videos!
Your hedgehog is so calm.
MacyPooh196 Yes, they should all be like this. Sadly, there are lots of bad breeders and inexperienced owners.
My hedgehog's most favourite food was scrambled egg made with milk only no butter/fat to keep calories down. He loved butter but only allowed a lick on special occasions. Lean ham was popular with him too and the mealworms were gobbled up in seconds. One word of caution, please be careful to keep your hedgehogs play area free from long hair strands as it can get wrapped around its leg and over time if unnoticed gets embedded under the skin and cut the circulation off. Rare, but vets says it does happen.
Thanks. I've had over 50 hedgehogs. Never any issues, injury, or illness. All I kept lived over 6 years, and, a few over 8 years (a record?)! Milk and butter are not recommended for hedgehogs. I would not suggest anyone feed that. Eggs are fine for hedgehogs. Always look up what foods you plan to feed so you know if they are safe. Most people think milk is safe for any animal, but, it's not.
Love the video. Helped me tons, thanks!
"They are very clumsy and tend to fall off" he says this as the hedgehog is at the edge of table
+Jacob Duffles Andrade Yes, that is why only single level cages. Of course, I am Earthling, my hedgehog was in no danger by an edge with me around. But they need a single level cage and shouldn't be left up high on anything unattended.
***** What's funny child?
Thanks so much! This video makes me feel much more confident and prepared for the day I buy a hedgehog!
I have one living in the garden, I never see it untill midnight or early evening I feed it catfood but not in cans and I give it water it overlived the winter and looked good
Another awesome video thanks for uploading
