      Tori!! I know you most likely will not respond but my family has a problem. We’re getting a hedgehog next week and at the end of this month we had a three day vacation planned… Just a little short thing… I don’t want to miss bonding time and I don’t know what to do... bringing it is out of the question… Do you think it’s OK to leave it to one of my friends to come and check on it and stuff… I just want to make sure it gets all the care he needs while we’re gone....

      Raylyn Hillier i has the same problem it’s crazy how often you see these things. this 11 year old stopped handling him because she got “bored” and the dad had to care for him but all he had in the cage was bedding, a hiding place and a broken wheel. it made me quite upset. when he came to us in our home i had to wash him because he smelled so horrible they didnt even wash/ clip his nails at ALL. but i’m so glad he’s with us now and he’s been here two weeks adjusting well and loving his new wheel :) you guys have to just be persistent and patient with handling them as they aren’t used to it. also if you guys have any tips on how to get them to get used to you better please let me know!

    Been doing a lot of research because I'm seriously looking into getting a hedgehog and your videos are so helpful! Have to say I also love how adamant you are on working with their needs and personalities. I think most pet owners can be guilty of this at some point, but in order to do what's best for them we have to take our human needs and expectations out of the equation and make theirs a priority. I think if more people did this before getting their animals, they might be able to realize sooner that their expectations, goals, and the realities of owning that animal don't match up--- which is totally okay!

    I got a hedgehog 5 years ago this Saturday. When he passed away from cancer last May, I said I’d never get another hedgehog again. Yet here I am binge watching these videos all over again in excitement as I wait to get my new baby the day after tomorrow. I can’t wait to see what his personality is like! My last baby was not a cuddler. He was sweet as pie, but he loved to explore and run around rather than be held. He was a suuuuuper picky eater too. I’ve truly missed having one of these little guys in my life. 💕 They really are something special.

Good thing is my evening routine is a lot of relaxing, so I usually wake her up when I get from work and get things done, feed her worms and take her with me to listen to podcasts. Two to three hours of her sleeping in me while I stroke her. Very relaxing for the both of us, she's been a way for me dealing with my stress.

    I was doing well until pandemic, just got back to handling her more again at night. Good thing is she's very bug food driven. I have a new bigger enclosure for her to explore tonight and dogs not home.

    Hey Tori, what do you do for playtime with your hedgehog? Would you make a video of that?

  • @susanhill9931
    @susanhill9931 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Can they go out in the grass? Of course if I'm right there? Our first hedgie was neglected and had fleas which made him miserable of course. We got that taken care of at the vet and now have 2 more, but haven't taken them out due to being scared this could happen again. However, they love to roam and explore and I think they'd really enjoy being out :).

    Tori. I love your videos. Watched them all. Falling back on you for some help. I got a hedgehog that is about 2 1/2 months. The breeder was recommended to me. I was happy with her answering questions until I asked about bonding and how much he huffs. He won’t open up all with me until I feed him bugs then it’s back into the ball. I get him out each night. I talk to him. I don’t think that he loves the dog either. I have done what you recommended? What else? Is it just time? How long until he kind of likes me?

    Tips (or new video suggestion) on how to go on vacation if you own a hedgehog. Do you have to go through the socialization process again? Will putting an item that smells like you in their enclosure while you are gone help? Should you add in smells of your pet sitter prior to leaving?

  • @fairyduckling
    @fairyduckling 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I was told they need a day or two before bonding, but that you can put a t-shirt in their crate so they can get used to your scent at the same time. Any comments on that? I'm looking to get one, but I want to make sure I know as much about them as possible so I can give 'em a good home. Your channel helps a lot!

    Hey Tori, thanks for all the great info! I'm a first time hedgehog mom and bonding is going great! Except every time I take Spike out he poops and pees randomly while we are playing. I'd like to let him run around the floor freely without the dread that's he's gonna leave his little messes everywhere. Will this get better with age and is there something I should be doing?

  • @molina616
    @molina616 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thanks for the video. My hedgehog, Mochi, is very very antisocial. The thing is, he's been around a lot of people and sounds. It's weird though because we are also very very bonded. He can sniff me out in a room full of 30 people ( I took him to class one time and everyone just quietly sat in a circle to let him run around). And he always finds me and once he smells me after taking him out of his cage, he calms down and comes out even though I still know he's mad at me. So I think he's just like that? We started bonding the day I got him and I took him around other people. Every other hedgehog I've met has been pretty chill. But Mochi hates being woken up so during the day he's grumpy. I thought maybe that after a year he'd chill out a bit but he never did. I got a grumpy boy but I'm grumpy too so it works out.

    • @molina616

    Do you recommend getting a baby hedge for easier bonding or would it be okay if I got it when it was like 5 months old

  • @ashneedssomepibb5837
    @ashneedssomepibb5837 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    My hedgie is very adventurous but not extremely social, so I take him over to my friends or my parents if it’s safe or I ever go stay over somewhere, and he has a smaller travel carrier, as in smaller than a backpack, I don’t keep him there the whole time however, I let him roam and play with toys.

    What do u do if they are bucking when u are trying to pet them. I just got mine yesterday and I love him but he’s hissing and getting upset when I pick him up . Should I increase attention time ? Also what is the best time to pick them up ? Is there really a certain time ? Would it help to put a shirt with my scent into his cage as well? I really wanna help him feel comfortable

    i’ve had my girl for a few months and she’s gotten more comfortable with me but not entirely and i really hope she comes around completely
    she’s fine with sounds and she enjoys new smells which keeps holding her around the house a lot easier
    but she gets very uncomfortable when sitting with me even though i hold her 6/7 days a week¿
    so yeah.. idk why i wrote this but i hope she gets comfortable with me

    Hi Tori. I have been watching your video for quite some times.. good stuff... just wondering, how you actually consider a hedgehog a tame hedgehog? Because my hedgehog when i get him around 2 months, he was not that defensive and just exploring around. sometimes becoming a ball when he is shocked. 3 weeks of adopting him, my hedgehog start to sleep in the floor between my legs. However, when I hold him just to do what normally people do in IG post like rubbing his belly, etc and put it in a cup. he just would not stay calm most of the time.. is my hedgehog consider tame but some hedgehog just would not do like those IG hedgehog?

    • @pringle-man
      @pringle-man 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi I know I’m not Tori Lynn but as an experienced hedgehog owner I would say your hedgehog is tame, and it’s pretty normal for hedgehogs to more comfortable on the ground rather than in the air. I would suggest just giving it time and generally the more often and longer you’ve done it, the more he’ll get used to it. Where did you get your hedgehog? If it’s from a pet store it makes sense because they don’t get handled very often so aren’t used to it. If it’s a breeder and you’re still having issues with calming him down even after a few months, then I might suggest contacting the breeder and asking them how often they handled him.
