DONT USE A BOTTLE FOR THE WATER!!!! Since this is a video targeted at people wanting to get hedgehogs I just thought I'd add my experience: my hedgehog bramble broke her teeth due to me using a bottle to feed for water so id only suggest the bowl method
Some like to bite at the water bottle while others don't. Honestly I use the water bottle but as long as it's set low enough they usually won't try to bite it. If you do use a bowl please make sure it's one worth a heavy weighted bottom so it will not tip over when they put their feet on it. Not only is it messy but it could also hurt them.
My mom said I will most likely get a hedgehog for Christmas and so I’ve been watching a bunch of videos haha :) I’m soooo exited I’ve wanted one for so long!
I love this! Great husbandry! You obviously care a lot about your pet and that's just beautiful! The only thing is to be careful with the heating pad. I know most people avoid them because they can be dangerous.
1. Even if two hedgehogs are sisters do not keep them together there is a 90 percent chance that they will not get along. 2.the cacti are not a good idea because your hedgehog could easily get them in their eyes mouth etc. Which can easily leave to injuries. 3. WHERE IS YOUR HEAT SETUP??? I'm do not want to sound rude and your hedgie seems perfectly healthy, but to avoid hibernation or over heating (both of which are fatal ) hedgehogs must be kept at around 24-26 degrees celcius (I Don't know what that is in farenheit) not having a heat setup is very risky and I cannot stress enough the dangers of not having one. A ceramic heat lamp with a thermostat and thermometer to keep the temperature correct Is what I use for my boys. Don't get me wrong your hedgie seems perfectly happy and healthy, and you seem like a wonderful person, but I couldn't help but recognise that you missed some crucial things. :) please do not take this in a rude way
ThisIsYourCaptainSpeaking 1. well, from my experience, my breeders and my friends who have multiple hedgehogs have rarely had problems with two females from the same liter. If you do want to try them housing together you must have a backup option if necessary. Plus two wheels, two huts, and two food set ups. 2. They’re fake. 3. She has a heating pad underneath the fleece. I live in Texas and in the summer it’s not necessarily an issue. In the winter the heating pad is on at all times Hope this helped your concerns!
BellaIsSalty I’ve never had a problem with mine, Ive kept it on the lowest setting. I’m sure it could cause burns if you put it on higher settings though, so I’d use with caution
Thank you for this! I go to school and work and I get home around 10pm, so i've been looking for a pet to keep me company while I finish my homework late at night, and also be fine while I am away. Of course, my dog sleeps at night, and it is a little hard to interact with fish and snails 😅 It looks like a hedgehog might be the pet for me!!
I’m most likely getting a hedgehog at the end of this summer! I can’t wait, and have been doing a tun of research on them! Thank you for all your help!!!
hi! you are the best youtuber ever, i am getting a hedgehog for Christmas and i am doing SOOOOOO MUCH research you are truly the best yet, thank you so much, keep doing what you do! thank you!
I’m planning on getting a hedgehog this year after wanting one for over 5 years at this point! I remember watching this video a few years back :) I’m so happy to finally be getting my dream petttt
UPDATE: WATER BOTTLE is NOT 100% suitable for a hedgehog due to the structure of it's mouth! Some kind of dish is better :) Also, atleast according to finnish experts, catfood is a no-no on daily basis, diet should be 60-80% insects etc and other foods in small amounts every now and then C:
Getting a hedgehog and a Bengal (because my dad is allergic and bro has asthma and Bengals are hyper-allergenic) cat when I move. I have watched a bunch of hedgehog care videos and I have had a cat back then that we had to give away (because it was not hyper-allergenic and my dad was coming home from overseas and my bros asthma was getting seriously triggered) so I was BORN ready for these 2 pets.
I have a few questions if anyone could answer them for me :) 1. How often should I clip its nails? 2. Would it be safe for me and the hedgehog for it to live in my room? I’m a very heavy sleeper but I’m worried about the smell could I get sick from the hedgehogs smell assuming I take good care of the cage? 3. Will there even be a smell if I keep the cage clean? 4. Roughly how often do you clean your cage? 5. What food brand do you recommend? 6. It’s become very clear to me that it’s deadly if hedgehogs cages are too cold because they will try to hibernate, so that brings me to wonder do hedgehogs need to hibernate in the winter or should they never ever hibernate? Thank you if you read this, I hope you and your family are safe!
so are they like dogs were you have to feed them and they will eat it all at once so you have to feed them several times a day or do you just leave them food for the entire day and they'll eat it?
Were did you purchase your headgehog from. I have experience with animals i own two red ear sliders and a cat. I use to own a iguana .i am gonna get another one. My first one died.
How is the fleece not stained up with pee n poop? Is their pee/poo easy to clean? Also, could you let me know about the cage smell? Would having one in your room make your entire room smell like there's an animal in there, or if you keep the cage clean is it hard to tell?
I have a hedgie and the problem with mine is that she is so messy!! I have to clean her fleece blanket every single day! She poops everywhere then climbs in her bed and sleeps in her poop. 😩😩 I wish she wasn’t so messy. I changed her flooring to newspaper/pee pads and I’m currently using old T-shirt’s for her blankets but I hate it because it’s not warm enough for her!! Any advice on how to keep her somewhat cleaner so she’s not sleeping in her poop? I don’t want to wash her everyday because it’s not good for hedgies! :(
I know this is an older video. I am a new hedgie parent and I was wondering where did you get your cage? It looks so nice and I am aiming for one of them if not similar to it
I think I read somewhere that dead bugs aren’t particularly great for them. Something to do with the live bugs exoskeleton being good for them or something er another
Do they smell funky? How often do you need to clean the enclosure? Where did you get that cage? How often do you need to clean up larrie? Oh god my moms gonna be so mad i already have snakes, geckos, and a huge roach farm WAIT Can hedgehogs eat dubia roaches as like a treat ? 🤔 Could i make a custom 2 floor cage and it only being like 20" × 20" if so i could build a hedge hog encloure right under my baby ball python set up :)
How do you potty train them i wake up everyday to poop everywhere in this cage and i spend around 40 minutes af my lunch time since I'm still in school
A wild hedgehog has decided to take over my outdoor , CAT HOUSE. My cat's only use it, if it's raining or cold. Even though, they have a cat flap. Should I just leave the hedgehog, in there. It goes in of it,s own choice. 😼
Stuff your doing wrong: 1. Wrong cage already, they can get hurt if they try to climb up and fall. 2. Wrong underground, don't use a towel or something like that as underground, U can use that outside of the cage to keep them warm but in the cage you should use the stuff hamster have in their cage (I'm not English speaking so I don't know all the words) 3. A second floor. Hedgehogs walk a lot- multiple kilometres at night. That's not enough space. Minimum for one hedgehog is 120x60x60cm. For two it's 150x60x60 and for three it's 180x60x60 and up with size if U want more. A hedgehog is a good starter pet if you aren't afraid of insects. They NEED insects to eat, you can feed 10% vegetables, 60% cat food and 30% insects and 10% eggs. It also needs a temperature of 23° to 26°C at day and at night NEVER under 18-20°C otherwise they can die.
Hey Andrea! Just a quick question I might be getting a hedgehog soon and I should this channel and the lady said I need a heater and thompmiter is that true?
Yes! You do if u do not have a warm house they need to be between 74 to 78 degrees I find that they like it in the middle it’s good to not have the hole area heated and try to heat were they sleep but avoid the rest of the cage
u can! With this add on☺️ Ferret Nation Upper Scatter Guard for Ferret Nation & Critter Nation Small Animal Cages www.amazon.com/dp/B004UL3F52/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_B54GXMEBYB06FZZXDCHZ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Tip for the hamster: hamster CAN NOT be in a hamster ball it’s really stressful and they’re forced to run and they can’t stop
Hi! This video is over 4 years old, and I have addressed that, thank you for caring about the pets safety though!
It’s 🐹 not 🦔

I’m getting one in less than a month. Wish me luck bois. I’ll be taking a care class

OK tysm for the reply, was just making sure that larrie was getting the care she deserves :)

Don’t get it a wheel, it can be fatal

@@clo308 well you should bring them out to play every day/few days and I’m only saying that because no matter how bi the wheel it can still be fatal

What is the salt rock for? a treat? Is it safe? They wont get too much sodium intake?
Were did you purchase your headgehog from. I have experience with animals i own two red ear sliders and a cat. I use to own a iguana .i am gonna get another one. My first one died.
where did ur iguana die from? theyre supposed to live for ages.
I’m getting my Pygmy hedgehog today I’m so exited !!!
Is it true that you have to wash your hands everytime you touch them or touch anything they are around?
Wow i use the same food for my hedgehog!
This video is 👌👌👌
Where did u get your hogs cage

Ty!!!!
Holiday girl 101 no problem!!
I have dogs. If I put mine in a bin with a blanket with heating pads underneath, would they be ok? I want to love them!
Where can i get that kitty hut? And does your hedgehog try to eat the plants?
Your hegehogs cage set up reminds me of tori lynns hegehog set up
So true
Where did you get your cage? I found one but it has a ramp with and extra layer! Please and thanks for letting me know
she probably took it out i assume
They ramp and second layer are removable
Currently trying to convince my parents to let me get a hedgehog
Hope u get to!!
i might be getting a hedgehog soon!
How do you clean the cage? How do you use the pee pads?
What brands of food are reccomended and what breeder did you get him from? I'm having a really hard time finding a breeder.
I use wellness indoor complete! You can look online and find a whole list of appropriate foods!
Love the cage!!! Soon I am making a video of my cage setup (in less then a week) since I am getting my hedgie in around a week :)
HedgeVlogs congrats!!! I can’t wait to see the video and you’re new baby!!!!
Turns out I am getting him in Saturday
I might be getting one so i’ve been watching a PILE of tips and tricks about hedgehogs :)))
Hybrid Røxy ah! Can’t wait for u!
Andrea Michelle Rambo thx
Andrea Michelle Rambo it has to stay outside but i can bring it into my house-
Do they need any lighting?
u just cleaned you cage? cuz normally hedgehog cage won't be that cleann😭
Yes I did! She usually ruins it within the night lol
I know this is an older video. I am a new hedgie parent and I was wondering where did you get your cage? It looks so nice and I am aiming for one of them if not similar to it
Adrianna Lempfert it is a critter nation single unit !
Where do u put the heating lamp?
Don't forget to mention the 100 Watt heat lamp with guard
God bless you 🙏🏻
I reasearch all of the pet video cause when I grow up I wanna be a pet youtuber with alot of pets
Behind bars looking out.
I think I read somewhere that dead bugs aren’t particularly great for them. Something to do with the live bugs exoskeleton being good for them or something er another
I think hedgehogs are the animals for me
Where do they go to the bathroom? Do they just go anywhere or can you train them to go in a specific place?
They tend to do it after running on their wheel, so many owners put a tray with paper pellets under the wheel for the hedgehogs to use
Idk about the cat food because it can cause dryness of the skin and they may have a reaction to the cat food but overall I love💘 your setup 😊
Aslong as you make sure there’s no fish or fish oil on the cat food they’ll be fine
@@breemodel thx
I wanna hedgehog but my parents said no.
I want to find a way to convince them, so what are good reasons
and ways to convince them to get me one?
I think you should ask them why you can’t first
I have a headgehoge named hank he’s so cute I play with him everyday!
Hi where did you get that cage
The bottle with the ball means their tongue can get caught
As long as it’s not spring loaded it’s fine
I have a bearded dragon and my mom was like *ew it’s ugly* and I was like wow then she said *i want a hedgehog* so now we are researching 🤣🤣
Do they smell funky?
How often do you need to clean the enclosure?
Where did you get that cage?
How often do you need to clean up larrie?
Oh god my moms gonna be so mad i already have snakes, geckos, and a huge roach farm
WAIT
Can hedgehogs eat dubia roaches as like a treat ? 🤔
Could i make a custom 2 floor cage and it only being like 20" × 20" if so i could build a hedge hog encloure right under my baby ball python set up :)
How do you potty train them i wake up everyday to poop everywhere in this cage and i spend around 40 minutes af my lunch time since I'm still in school
Of*
put the poop from the night before in the littertray/ puppy pad until they understand that there is where they need to poop.
Where did you get that cat condo?
Where did you get that cage?
Hello, late response I know! But is the Carolina Storm wheel silent? I’m not a light sleeper, but I can’t go to sleep with noises like squeaky wheels!
Adrianne V. Yes it is

How much does a cage from critter nation cost? And can you get it on amazon?
Brandon lefebvre I think you can get it on Amazon and they are about $140.
A wild hedgehog has decided to take over my outdoor , CAT HOUSE. My cat's only use it, if it's raining or cold. Even though, they have a cat flap. Should I just leave the hedgehog, in there. It goes in of it,s own choice. 😼
where is your cage from?
What's the difference between eating bugs and other animals?
Whats that cage called??
Stuff your doing wrong:
1. Wrong cage already, they can get hurt if they try to climb up and fall.
2. Wrong underground, don't use a towel or something like that as underground, U can use that outside of the cage to keep them warm but in the cage you should use the stuff hamster have in their cage (I'm not English speaking so I don't know all the words)
3. A second floor. Hedgehogs walk a lot- multiple kilometres at night. That's not enough space. Minimum for one hedgehog is 120x60x60cm. For two it's 150x60x60 and for three it's 180x60x60 and up with size if U want more.

Just a question though, do you put your hamster in the hamster ball?
Nope! She addressed that in the video
I miss Larrie I love this video ❤️
Karolina Ramirez She misses uuu💓
Hey Andrea! Just a quick question I might be getting a hedgehog soon and I should this channel and the lady said I need a heater and thompmiter is that true?
Katie Lyn depends! My room is always warm, and I have a heating pad for my hedgehog. If your room gets under 70 degrees I would get a small heater!
Ok thanks!
Do we need a heating lamp for them?
Mely's Corner no if your home is warm already
Yes! You do if u do not have a warm house they need to be between 74 to 78 degrees I find that they like it in the middle it’s good to not have the hole area heated and try to heat were they sleep but avoid the rest of the cage
They hibernate if it gets too cold. Heck wild hedgehogs live outside in my country in -15c weather. Got to be over 600g weight though to survive.
hii, what that cage called? and how much?
Hey, I wanted to ask if you heat your hedgehog or not because I really want one but I don’t know if I have to heat them or not
They should be kept between 72-82 degrees, you can use a lamp or a heating pad for this
Can you put substrate in this cage or is it only fleece?
u can! With this add on☺️ Ferret Nation Upper Scatter Guard for Ferret Nation & Critter Nation Small Animal Cages www.amazon.com/dp/B004UL3F52/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_B54GXMEBYB06FZZXDCHZ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Sameeee
Are the plants live or artificial?
I have had a water bottle in my hedgehog's cage for 2 years had no problems
Dont they need beddings?
Where did you find the cat condo!?
Earthbound pets!
Some people say don't use a heating pad I'm a first-time hedgehog owner so I'm doing a lot of research what kind of heating pad can you show me
@Cate H thanks now some people said put it under the cage some people say put it in the cage
eaglechas it depends on the strength of the pad and what cage you have you don’t want to burn your hedgehog but you want some heat to get through
