    I got my hedgie in February. She is my first hedgehog however she was mistreated before I bought her. She’s about two years old and she didn’t run or eat much when I first got her. Her wood chips were all dirty and the bottom of the terrarium was covered in poop. She was very aggressive when I first got her due to her never being handled before. Now I can hold her and play with her. She likes to lay beside me during the day as I read and she sleeps.

    • @melissafaye915

      I literally just rescued my girl from the exact situation. She's only 4 months old, but they didn't have a light for her, 2.4 gallon tank and had her in a GARAGE, winter in Alabama...only feeding her Dollar General cat food. Idk how she's made it this far, but man, that temper probably helped lol she'll spazz when I pick her up, but has gotten to where she doesn't freak out every time she hears a noise.

    • @waxeightoneeight
      @waxeightoneeight 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      How did you get your hedgehog to become more comfortable with you? Mine is a few years old and had at least two previous owners who didn’t seem to socialize with her much when she was younger. I want to bond with her so she can feel more comfortable around me, but every time I get near her hideout, she tends to ball up and hiss-granted I just got her, so I am sure she’s still adjusting to the new environment and the times I have chosen to check on her haven’t always been the best with her sleep schedule either. I know her temperament won’t change overnight, especially since her last owner said she’s super shy, but I am committed to her and would like to know what you’d recommend in order to facilitate that bonding process?

    I had a hedgehog named Malik, he was pretty antisocial, it took almost a half a year until he started getting used to me, me and my girlfriend had bought him when he was already in his teens, in terms of hedgehog life spans at least. And he was neglected in the store, and was the only one left for weeks, and we knew he wouldn't be bought so well. We bought him, he was an amazing pet for 3 years until cancer took him from us, even though he wasn't the most pleasant hedgehog ever, I still loved him, and still miss him to this day.

    For me, I find it so strange to see hedgehogs in captivity like this, although they look well cared for. I had hedgehogs in my garden back in Ireland and they came there by their own choice. We used to leave food and water for them but they didn't consume much. They were friendly and got used to us. We could pick them up easily. In winter they used to hibernate, so we made boxes of hay for them and they would remain there until spring. They lived in between the trees and flowers in the garden and never went away. They could have gotten out easily if they had wanted to, as a stream ran by the garden and there were open spaces with only wire fencing as borders and no walls. Sometimes foxes would get in at night but hedgehogs don't need to fear them 'cos of their spikey defenses.

      I used to pick up hedgehogs in London SW , Wimbledon/Putney etc.. They were quite tame even though they were wild. You may want to watch for fleas as they are almost a factory of fleas. Check yourself when you get home. Some mornings when I opened the door there would be a willing little fella waiting for a snack or three..Eventually I would give them names and later try and figure out who is who..

They were wild but so nice and friendly to play with when at food-time. The cubs love to be scratched on their belly or under their chin while eating. They are lovely little fellas!

    She was very grumpy for the first few days or so, but she quickly warmed up to me. I left an old teeshirt of mine that smelled like me and didn't have anything she could hurt herself with and she got my scent in no time. :)
    My sweet little Leela is such a joy, and she's come out of her ball!

    To be honest whenever I buy pets I look for those with the least chance of finding a home: the grouchy, the aggressive and the scared ones. The hamster I have at the moment I adopted from a charity after he was given up for being untamable - and I love him to bits.

    • @jere473
      @jere473 7 ปีที่แล้ว +49

      Are you confined to your bedroom your entire life? Sure he looks small and snug, but you have to take into consideration that a wild hedgehog typically roams between 10 - 20 hectares per year. Now you could argue that he's domesticated, so he doesn't need to roam that much, but would you keep a domesticated cat or a dog in a cage with the same proportions of body size to cage size? Of course you wouldn't.

      Melie92 you have a choice to leave your room and go outside. Something you hold captive and think it likes you don't have that choice. Its Stockholm Syndrome, it shares a mutual benefit with you, so it tolerates you at best. You don't think so leave the door open or animal on the ground see if it sticks around for you.

      +- ThePenguinOre - There's a difference between a "rip-off" and "inspiration".

    @SpongicX 7 ปีที่แล้ว +687

    I think it's kind of wrong to tell people to only buy a non aggressive hedgehog. You're saying mistreated hedgehogs are better off being neglected, than to be given love? My hedgehog Silver started off a bit timid, and he's still very scared after having him for a year, but I don't regret adopting him. I love seeing him happy and running on his wheel. He may not have opened up to me yet, but that doesn't bother me.

    • @earthling1984
      @earthling1984  7 ปีที่แล้ว +139

      SpongicX This just lets poor quality breeders keep breeding and selling. Quality breeders pets will be calm and tame. Not buying them cuts off the breeders who are doing the wrong thing. They mistreat and don't do what's best for the animals. Which is why your 1 year hedgehog is still scared, yet, all hedgehogs I sold at 3 months were socialized, tame, calm, & easy to handle.

    • @SpongicX
      @SpongicX 7 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      I bought mine at a legal pet store in Burlington Iowa, and the workers there seem to show a lot of care and respect for their pets. Not all animals are born to have the same nature as others. You can't always blame an animal's behavior on whoever bred or sold them. I also only got my hedgehog when he was 3 months old, so he wasn't able to adapt to my home as early as some other hedgehogs may have.
      My hedgehog has matured a lot since back than. Although he is still huffy at times, the fact that he's able to quickly uncurl and lower his quills shows a lot of improvement. Hedgehogs are naturally scared creatures. I'd rather by a hedgehog from a legal pet store, than to buy one from a total stranger who may not have a legal permit to sell their hedgehogs. Plus, we never know how those hedgehogs are bred either, so it can go both ways. The pet store I bought mine from isn't a big industrial type petshop, it's a very small pet shop that sells mice, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, hedgehogs, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. They breed their animals, and don't sell them until they make sure the pets are old enough and healthy enough to be presented. They also sell food and nutrients for the animals. If they really didn't treat their animals well, then I don't see how their pets for sale are already in decent sized cages with a good supply of food and water.
      I read up on hedgehogs before buying mine, and I was warned it is better to trust authorized pet stores, than it is to trust some breeder selling them from their house, or through a delivery website.

    1:32 thats the most terrible thing ive ever heard. I was a neglected child, beaten down, depressed, felt like i didnt belong anywhere, felt like i didnt have a purpose in life and that my life didnt matter all because everyone rejected me just like you're saying to do for pets who have been neglected. All i even wanted was for someone to hold and tell me they love me. I grew up in a family that treated me like i was an adopted child and never told me they loved me, always ignored me. I was always on my own and all i wanted was for someone to just show me they cared. And thats all animals want too. They wont trust you at first, no child or animal will thats been mistreated. They think you're just like everyone else. You have to prove that your different to them. And when you do. That child or animal will become unbelievably loyal, because it will fight to the death to keep what it tried so hard to get. Just show people and animals love. Thats all that we really want

    i grew up in the new forest in southern uk, uk hedgehogs are native and nitraly everywhere, we had to check garbage bags before putting them out as oftern a hog would be curled up inside, we would pick them up and move them, if out driving and one was sitting in the road we would move them, i have handled many of these creatures as have most people where i come from, never ever have i heard a story of one bitting, in the wild thats just complete bs, they would roll into a ball and spin the heck outa ya but that was i, many people would give them milk which is a big no no as it is poison to them, i used to leave out cat food most nights. but always a joy to watch them de-slug my garden
