I rescued a hedgehog that I found abandoned in the National Forest by my house. I've decided to keep him. I do have an exotic vet I'm going to take him too, but was wondering if you knew how to age them? He is really little and skinny idk if it's because he was neglected or just young.
Thank you, I'm getting a hedgie on Tuesday and the breeder didn't know because they are too young. If you guys are interested I will record the day when I get them
Your hedgies are so cutie! Always fun to see them. 🦔🦔 Thank you for the new instagramaccount. She had so many cute pics! Have you seen Hollycopter here on youtube? You and her looks SO much alike! You could be twins! 👌🏻💖
Hi! I just wanted to say that I think you are awesome, and I am so sorry about your two boys. I just got my first hedgehog, I named him Miles, and he is about 2 1/2 years old. I literally binged your hedgey videos before I got Miles. He is a boy, and he uses a literbox. When I get to see his parts, it looks like he has a pebble stuck in it, and I am not sure what to do, because it has been a process to handle my hedgehog. I am not going to lie, I was scared to death, but we are getting much better about handling, although we are still not there yet. He is has been at my apartment for 22 days, and out of the 22 days, he has been out about 18 of those days to be handled. He is my first hedgehog ever, but I still pick him up with a blankey, but he is becoming better at being used to this. He is getting better about not having to really come out of his huffy ball. I say he should have been a Hufflepuff all the time, but the last couple of nights he has been handled, he has definitely been letting me handle him more and he has been getting a lot more pets. But, i was worried about his parts, because he may have some liter stuck in it???
My hedgehog just had babies the other day , would I be able to tell if they are boys or girls if I lifted up the cage they are in ? Today they would be 4 days old
You don’t want to disturb them at all for two full weeks. Hedgehog moms are temperamental and can and will cull their litter if they feel stressed or in danger. Once they’re old enough (14 days) you’ll be able to pick them up and check them individually.
my hedgehog breeder is trying to sex the baby hedgehogs, and she says one is definitely male, and she says that one is possibly female judging by it's shape but she can't quite tell. Is there a difference in shape between genders or are the ones you pointed out the only things that differentiate them?
Oh great idea! I bought a hedgehog...and she was pregnant! I ended up with 3 babies in her litter. So to make sure I don't end up with MORE hoglets I want to know the babies' gender, but they do not like uncurling while upside down for me to get a good look lol. They're about 4-5 weeks old now so it's getting to the point very soon I'll need to make sure to pull any males out and away from mom. O_o
Is it bad to have a boy and a girl in the same house hold? I’m not planning on breeding but I had a girl to begin with and my boyfriend saved a boy from a bad home.
No, it’s fine to have them in the same house as long as they are housed separately and never allowed to interact. Hedgehogs take mere moments to breed, and females are induced ovulators which means the females will ovulate whenever they are aware of a male. Repeated ovulation without breeding can cause health issues. So as long as they remain entirely separate, you’re good.
PugPibbleHedgie for sure! So a few questions I had for you: Do hedgehogs need their teeth to be cleaned? Do they deal well with humidity? Can they get fleas? And how long can a hedgehog 'hibernate' before it's to late? Thank you so much for your time❤️
This is quite random, so I’m sorry, but I guess it’s worth asking lol. So my little girls breeder told me for months and months that my hedgies birthday was June 16th, and it was on her certificate of purchase. I got mailed her pedigree a month or two later and it said her birthday was June 18th. And I know this isn’t the biggest deal in the world as to wether I find out or not, but I’m just curious of what you think I should believe! Thank you!
My hedgie is a boy. His ears are REALLY dry though. I use the Aveeno baby body wash for his baths but it still doesn’t help. Is there anything you recommend to help his ears?
I understand that african pygmy hedgehogs are a domesticated breed of hedgehog, however where are they originated from? I know that they are from asia, africa etc. I know there was a common belief that they were a hybrid of the algerian and four-toed which was debunked, but are african pygmy hedgehogs ever found in the wild? How are they domesticated/were they a man-made animal? I know this is quite a big question! If you could by any chance answer or make a history type video about aph, that would be wonderful! Thanks so much
The hedgehogs we call APH’s are technically still four-toed hedgehogs, or Atelerix albiventris. They live predominantly in Africa. They aren’t man-made as we previously thought, they were captured, exported/imported, and domesticated. They do still exist there, though their main population is in the exotic pet trade. I’m not well versed enough in their wild relatives to do a video on it unfortunately, but if you look up Atelerix albinventris, there have been some studies done on them that have some helpful info on their history :)
PugPibbleHedgie, I have a question. Can you do a video on hedgehog food because the internet (for example )says that pretty pets food is bad and some say it's good...btw, I love you and your channel❤️💓💖🙃
When I first got mine I thought it was a boy because it was balled up and the tail looked like a penis. But then I noticed it was the tail lol so I looked it up and now I know mine is a girl lol
Former hedgehog owner here. (If you still need help lol) A Hedgehogs first go to defence isn't biting, maybe you've got something that might seem yummy to them on your hands?
Hylian memer a month later he still bites :( i wash my hands thoroughly every time, i have gotten so many tips from so many people. when i pick him up, he instantly goes for my fingers! could this be a habit? he's done it for so long, and the thing is when he bites me i don't put him down, so he doesn't get his way.
dominic eastman That's a great tactics! This is honestly weird, does he bite anyone else? My hedgie only bit one person and it was because they were waving their finger around in his face-- Maybe it's just apart of his personality? Maybe you're secretly doing something that he thinks is rewarding him for his behavior?
omg I had no clue I actually just thought that was a belly button 🤣
I have seen ur channel Victoria Rachel! Ur awesome!
Hedgehogs are so adorable even when they are sleeping
I don’t think hedge hogs are ever not cute 😂 Even when they are mad I think they look so cute especially their crabby face 😂
I can feel dracos exposed-ness 😂 he's so cute!!
You've got some beautiful blue eyes!!
Hedgehogs are so cute even when they're mad they're still adorable
I showed this to my hedgehog so he can check out the ladies. LOL I FLIPEP HIM OVER AND HE WAS IN A BALL BUT WHEN I SHOWED HIM THE GIRL HE UNCURLED.
He loves the ladies 🦔💗🦔
Ah I just got a hedgehog she’s an albino called bella I’m just watching loads of your videos to Educate myself even more x

I was wondering, can you feed your hedgies veggies? What treats can you feed them other then mealworms?
Madison Klima vegetables and fruit both of them
When she said..A HUGGGHHH.... my mind was about to explode
Is it normal for hedgehogs to bite you? I got mine a couple days ago and he keeps biting my fingers
Hi!!! I love hedgehogs so your channel has a special place in my heart. ❤️
Can u film the guinea pigs taking a bath?
Not for a while - they had baths already and don’t get them often :)
Wish my hedgehog was as calm as yours.
I have no idea how to bring my hedgehog to liking me again.
let them know that you're the one taking care of you, get them to get use to your scent
Thanks for this video! Didn't realize it was so simple to see the difference!!
I have all rings scattered in my room and the hedgehog did not even collect the rings and the hedgehog can’t do backflip and not fast
Im confused my hedgie was supposed to be a boy but he has no belly button
THIS WHOLE TIME I THOUGHT MY HEDGEHOG WAS A GIRL! (The breeder told me she was a female)
I have a female and a male hedgehog and they recently gave birth and the baby is 1-2 months old but i can't get it to let me hold her/him
I love you so much💜💜💜💜You have helped me so much. now I know more then everything I need to know about a hedgehog!Keep up the awesome work!!
Omg you deserve 5 million+ subscribers

PugPibbleHedgie I have critter nation cages set up like yours so that’s perfectly fine?
Hey, love your channel!❤️ I asked some questions on instagram about hedgehogs ☺️☺️
I’m not on IG a whole lot tbh 🙈 Not sure if I missed them or not, so if I did feel free to leave them in the comments! I check here way more often!
PugPibbleHedgie for sure! So a few questions I had for you:
Do hedgehogs need their teeth to be cleaned?
Do they deal well with humidity?
Can they get fleas?
And how long can a hedgehog 'hibernate' before it's to late?
Thank you so much for your time❤️
How often do you need to bathe your hedgehogs? I love your videos :) Your hedgehogs are so cute!
They tend to have very dry skin so it's recommended to bathe them only once a month, unless necessary :)
thanks ma'am! this was really helpful!
Omg your so pretty and also your hedgehog
This is quite random, so I’m sorry, but I guess it’s worth asking lol. So my little girls breeder told me for months and months that my hedgies birthday was June 16th, and it was on her certificate of purchase.

And I know this isn’t the biggest deal in the world as to wether I find out or not, but I’m just curious of what you think I should believe! Thank you!
Not sure! Maybe split the difference and just say her birthday was on the 17th lol.
PugPibbleHedgie haha I might just do that, too complicated to get into the details😂
My hedgie is a boy.
His ears are REALLY dry though. I use the Aveeno baby body wash for his baths but it still doesn’t help. Is there anything you recommend to help his ears?
Oil is best to moisturize them. Any safe one will do. Most popular is coconut, flax seed, and vitamin E oil. :)
Do female hedgehogs have a period, this might sound like a stupid question but my friends hedgehog is a girl and would like to know in advance
Nope! No periods.
PugPibbleHedgie Thank you
Would you recommend boys or girl hedgies

Do hegehog bit
Yes, they bite at times
Anything with a mouth for the most part can bite. That’s something you just have to consider when getting an animal :)
When I first got mine I thought it was a boy because it was balled up and the tail looked like a penis. But then I noticed it was the tail lol so I looked it up and now I know mine is a girl lol
oh okay so mines a girl
.
hi thanks my headgie is a girl tysm
help! my hedgehog won’t stop biting me :(
Former hedgehog owner here.
(If you still need help lol)

My hegeheg is a boy. But i think hes on his period
Hedgehogs do not have periods regardless of sex, but particularly not males. If he is bleeding from his penis, he needs to go to the vet.
