Fun Fact 11: Not all hedgehogs are blue and run fast
Fun Fact 12: Contrary to popular belief, chili dogs are a no-no food for them right now. It's really not advisable to give them any spices or flavorings, as it can cause them serious gastrointestinal problems. It's BETTER to give them unseasoned meats with no bread, and you can PRETEND they're eating a chili dog.
XD
fun fact: there is to many sonic jokes in this world.
Some are black and can use guns, others are Silver and can time travel and the pink ones are colorblind but super friendly.
And eats chilidogs all they long. And has a fox bff.
Unlike echidnas they don't flex their muscles. They'd rather chuckle.

Diffirent hedgehogs and their traits
Blue: Super fast and indomitable will
Black: Edgy,alien hybrid
Silver: Naive, can time travel
Pink: Annoying stalker
Yessssssss
True
XD
Amy isn't a stalker.
@@Ollie.H-2301 bro did you not see sonic exe spirits of hell two well you get Amy solo
Another fact, a real hedgehog isn't as fast as Sonic but is pretty fast for our real world. Common hedgehogs can run in short bursts of speeds of about 4 mph.
@@hedgegaming1417 Which to THEM is supersonic speed.
It's all about perspective 😁
Wait so most hedgehogs can't run 750 MPH?
@@PLANDerLinde99 Yes I too have been lied to.
Also Hedgehogs are good swimmers
TH-cam algorithm: "Pssst... Hey. Hey you. Want to hear some hedgehog facts?"
Me, who has never owned a hedgehog: "Yes. Obviously."
😂😂
Me: of course why not? Hedgehogs are Spiky doggos
@@LearnaboutAnimals Same as the SEGA Series in 1991
Me too 😄😄
@@seantaggart7382 lol I gave my hedgehog a nickname that's "spiky rat"
“This is how they sleep.”

Fun fact: Did you know that hedgehogs are objectively in the top three cutest creatures on earth?
6:19 Hedgehogs give birth in June and July Sonic's birthday is canonically accurate😂
Exactly!
A wise hedgehog once said:
"Kids, there's nothing more cool than being hugged by someone you like, but if someone tries to touch you in a place or in a way that makes you uncomfortable, that's no good!"
I remember watching that💀🤣
Sonic!
Fun Fact #11: The common scientific name for all hedgehogs is “ouch mouse.”
And bush pig
They arent even rodents 🙃
Actually it's cactus hamster
@@Jess-ji5bg OUCH MOUSE
😂😂
Sonic making his debut in June makes sense now.
It's kinda funny that hedgehogs are usually born in June-July since Sonic's birthday is June 23rd
Hehe, I noticed that too!
I WAS BORN IN JULY! 🗿
Mine was in december
Oh, i didn't know that!
i guess me and Sonic the Hedgehog have the same birthday month-
I should write ✍️ it down for Sonic The Hedgehog's birthday 🎂 23 June
Had a African pygmy hedgehog, lived about 8 yrs.
It was pretty relaxed, but only let me and one random childhood schoolmate pick it up without full prickle happening.
I think she may have been capable of teleportation over short distance 🤔. She had a house nickname "Houdini". She chewed instrument cables and cords if left unattended.
We had 2 dogs but they knew when the pointy bulldozer was coming thru to move aside.
Oh, pro tip.....make sure your hands don't smell like food/snacks heh...... they'll 'test' it with a good nip, and they naturally don't like letting go.
I too had a female African Pigmy hedgehog named Shadoe (female for Shadow. Don’t judge me! 😅😂 I loved Shadow the hedgehog back in high school). It’s happened to me before where I once smelled of food and she nipped me! 😂 my ex boyfriend once let her eat some of his chocolate and she liked it! 😂 I had her from 2005 to 2010. She was much loved by kids everywhere and would ask to see her when I lived in Mexico. 🙂☺️ she was my first actual pet I ever bought.
Maybe a good first pet for children.
Pocket sized, but less likely to die horribly than a hammy.
@@tell-me-a-story- Well, it might be, but they’re diurnal/nocturnal. They can be up at different times of the day or night, depending on your schedule. They might wake up your child(ren) if the hedgie is up at night. I for one, was use to my hedgie when I had her after high school. She was a favorite of mine and loved by so many people. 🙂☺️
They do require a wheel (or large ferret ball. Make sure to clean it) to run on, insects to snack on, good grade cat food or hedgehog food, water, a litter box (if you’re planning to litter train them. And yes, they can be litter trained. I’ve had 3 litter trained hedgies in the past) and a big cage (1 X 2 or larger with no big holes in which they’re feet will get caught in). It’s also best not to use rubber or leather gloves. They need to get use to your scent.
Maybe it's a good thing to mention, that the African Pygme Hedgehog isn't meant to hybernate...
If they do, they'll die ...
Hybernation isn't a part of their nature...
Wow, I didn't know that! Thanks for the info ❤
Well it make sense
I was just about to comment this same fact. If our awesome domesticated hedgies do try to hibernate (having a cold belly is 1 sure sign that they're trying), you need to VERY gradually warm them with your own body heat; don't rush it with a heating pad, bathing, etc, or then they go into shock. Still a g reat vid, other than that little bit😊
As a hedgehog I can conform they are quite cute
Ah... African Pygmy Hedgehogs actually don't naturally hibernate as in the wild as they wouldn't be exposed to extreme cold. If one of these guys were to go into hibernation they would most certainly die. My little hedgie went into hibernation once but I was able to get her out of it without any issues. The sign of them going into hibernation is being lethargic/unmoving, unresponsive, curled up tight and cool to the touch. You don't ever want to use water to wake them up! The best thing to do is skin on skin warmth; shove them under your shirt so they rest on your belly and put a blanket or towel over top to really trap the heat in. If you can't do this then a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel is the next best thing (never put it directly against your hedgehog), and you need to be careful so that it doesn't hurt them. It's so important to keep their environment warm enough for them as occurrences such as these can pose a serious risk to your precious hoglet.
I have a African Pygmy Hedgehog too. When I got him I made sure I bought a couple of large plastic heating mats, these are covered by litter that allows them to stay dry. If I am worried about him becoming cold, even with the mats on I use a black heat light on a thermostat. He is rather spoiled.
I was looking for this in the comments as I had one when I was little, he sadly passed. I went to spend the night at my grandmas and my sister left the window open and when I came back he was cold and wasn't moving a lot, though he was alive, he didn't make it through the next night. I was so upset cause I was taking good care of him. He was so friendly and I could pet his little ears and belly and he didn't spike up, rest in peace little Prickles...he was only 8 months old...
@@caitlynpotter652 oh! oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that! I know it's been a while since that happened but i'm still so sorry for your loss. that is such a very sad and unfortunate incident. and he was so young... my heart breaks for you both.
i've lost two hedgehogs (both likely cancer though it was never confirmed)... and i still haven't fully recovered from that. hedgehogs are such wonderful companions, but they have such health risks and short lifespans.
@@carenxatu5962 it's alright and yeah it was a long time ago, 5th grade, and I'm 21 now. My grandma also had a hedgehog at the time so that did help some too, though he wouldn't let ya handle him much. He was always a spiky ball, we think he also passed due to cancer. He lived a long life. Though with Prickles we never should've gotten him in the first place. We didn't have heating in the house to begin with and we can get harsh winters.
i was looking for this comment as well i had my hedgie pass away because he went into hibernation unfortunately it was too late when i tried to wake him up
The long eared hedgehog is so adorable
FUN FACT: Two tailed fox's are known to be friends to the teh super sonic breed.
And they are also very smart, being able to build various things and even drive various types of vehicles.
@@luizmiguel5484he doesn’t need that, he can run fast
foxes*
You mean Tails the Fox
had a pair of sisters back when i was still a kid. my parents had a little trouble at night when they'd break out of their cage and climb into their bed. the parent sleeping on the side the girls climbed up would start to roll over and then feel a spike ball at their back. the girls were great for finding scorpions and cockroaches in the house and taking care of them.
FUN FACT: the echidna is a cousin to hedgehogs. So Knuckles is sonics cousin
Fun fact: Echidna’s and hedgehogs are only related in appearance, other than that they have nothing to do with each other within their bloodline/family tree, so no, sonic and knuckles are not even close to being related, and barely are in appearance.
No they're not.
The last surviving Echidna Warrior in Sonic The Hedgehog (Sega universe)
They’re not related to hedgehogs, they just look kind of similar.
Oh
I love hedgehogs and also i saw one for the the first time and i like hedgehogs because i like sonic the hedgehog
6:28 3 baby hedgehogs are the cutest.😅
Triplets born, the throne awaits.
I wouldn't call 5 out of 50 many. They can be owned with a special permit in 2. In 44 States including the State of New York (not NYC) you can own a hedgehog if you want, regular pet permit. 10% doesn't count as many. 10% is few. Doesn't sound as good, but it's accurate.
Just as cute as Australian fruit bats in my opinion.
There's a TH-cam video that made me fall in love with these winged foxes called "Baby bat burritos" where a handler carefully wraps up some baby bats in a cloth, like a burrito, with their heads sticking out. I was like OMG! So Cute!!!
We have 4 resident hogs that live in our garden and we spend many hours filming & watching them .. nice video
Yes as do I . I am not certain but saw 2 and I am pretty sure they live under my aviary , saw one scoot under recently. The decking in my garden (after rain) is slug world and I feed feral cats who leave some food uneaten.. Hedgehog paradise.
I love mice and hedgehog i they cute☺️
That's so cool!
The long eared hedgehogs are super cute!
Fun fact: They often have fleas and cannot easily get rid of them thanks to their „protective gear“...
So just don‘t touch them if you find one in your garden, unless you want to have fleas as well. Not that it would be a good idea to touch wild animals in the first place, no matter how cute they look! 😉
That’s good to know, but imo the best reason to not touch a wild one is the risk of rabies, not fleas.
Wild Hedgehogs usually have Fleas, Ticks and Worms...
yeah ik that nd they also covour their backs with poo
Hedgehog fleas are unique to hedgehogs. They don't go onto anything else.
@@SableCatDog they have been infesting other pricks, mostly bj, la pig pen pooton and trumph
Looks like the sonic fans found this video.
Thanks for sharing
I can tell why you clicked this video.
Another fun fact! Hedgehogs poop while running
Yeah, I don’t wanna run behind Sonic
Hedgehogs can also eat birds if the bird is weakened, happened in my garden not so long ago. Such interesting creatures
I miss my babies. I kept them for years, but the only store that carries them jacked the price up to $300! The $100 or $150 a hog days are gone, unless you buy a retired breeder. 🦔🦔🦔🐾
I like hedgehogs, it's a tiny, little spiky thing just running around
Ironic there's actually states that ban hedgehogs.. such cute gentle creatures i think there's many more places humans should be banned with their destructive nasty lifestyles
They are in georgia but i still have one😂
Well humans are "banned" from Chernobyl and wildlife apparently is thriving there so you're right!
Actually I just looked it up and there's alot of places that have humans completely off limits. Lmao!
@@williamragsdale7857 PLEASE TELL ME HOW YOU GOT ONE
My mom and I naively let our first hedgehog, Cassandra, wander our garden unsupervised (for like five seconds).
She immediately found a dog poop, ate it, and started anointing herself with it. In ten seconds she was a brown stinky mess.
We bathed her thrice before the smell went away
Why is there dog poop in your garden? ^^
@@markusaurelius83 I have a dog
I probably shouldn't be laughing as much as I am
@@stefanosiclarilol that fool really asked why there is dog poop in the yard
@@billblaski9523 I think he knew the answer, deep down in his heart
Adorable with their little eyes and sniffy noses 🥰

As a wise hedgehog once said:
"Kids, there's nothing more cool than being hugged by someone you like, but if someone tries to touch you in a place or in a way that makes you uncomfortable, that's no good!"
I have a Hedgehog but Hedgehogs quills have bacteria and if you get pricked you your stomach may start hurting and you get sick-ish and Hedgehogs can hide their illnesses if they have one
Not true. Hedgehogs can show signs of illness. Mainly Wobbly hedgehog syndrome. And if you get sick after getting prickled by a hedgehog, chances are you did not wash your hands after handling it. The anointing that hedgehogs do is a defense mechanism they use to drive away predators as their spit on their spikes can cause irritation to the skin. It's important to wear gloves and wash your hands before and after handling hedgies.
If your hedgie makes you sick, then you're not bathing your hedgie (with soapy water) anywhere near enough, or maybe it's your immune system. You should at least give him/her a footbath before handing as this will do 2 things: clean off feces from its feet as well as make him/her go to the bathroom so it doesn't pee or poop on you while handling. I've never felt sick after playing with any of my hedgies. I always give them a footbath before playing or just snuggling up in their fleecy travel pouch/snuggly (even if full-bath day was that same day).
As for the other comment about wearing gloves...I don't believe (along with many reputable breeders) that's wise, esp when bonding with 1 of the "grumpiest" small pets around.. lol. They need to smell your scent, esp when you're removing them from their safe zone (their cage/home). With bare-handed practice, patience & complete confidence in yourself (slightly similar to horses, they sense trepidation), they will come to associate you with saftey & not spike up... unless startled whilst holding them.. lol!
In the UK, mealworms are not considered to be a good food for hedgehogs. They can cause an extremely painful bone disease.
Can they safely eat grasshoppers, what insects do you recommend?
When i was younger and lived in a farm we had lots of hedgehogs in our yard. We have that place where we storage milk etc and there was dogfoods too. one hedgehog learned to open that one door that was easy to open and he/she got to taste of dogfood :D It was really funny to try get that hog to outside, it was hissing and let out sounds that it was really angry and we just push it with broom but it was almost impossible to get it out because it has so much willpower to stay inside :D it didnt fear us at all

This video was so insightful. We are “hedgehog sitting” my daughter’s class pet this extended weekend and this little video helped answer some of our questions (the anointing thing - so odd) and helped us understand more about our little house guest.
Great, now i want a hedgehog..
🤣
@@LearnaboutAnimals Makes you think of Sonic & friends (from Sega universe)
Just a heads up @1:56, I believe that's a millipede vs. a centipede. Also, porcupine quills aren't poisonous, if anything, they carry bacteria that could cause infections and should always be seen by a doctor, but there is no poison or venom to the quills.
5 things about hedgehog's: runs fast eats chili dogs can turn super form & hyper form and spin dashes
This is more about wild hedgehogs than like pet hedgehogs but you should never let your pet hedgehog go into hibernation because they just won't survive it
Technically possible but not likely.
exactly, they have less fat than wild hedgies, it´s crucial to avoid hibernation
Some species will and some don't, depending on the species and body fat. For example african pygmy hedgehogs don't hibernate in nature and won't make it.
I own two hedgehogs ! Both separate cages male and female ! I’m planning to breed them soon !
Are they named Sonic and Amy? ;)
Good luck!

Poor Vipers, sometimes said to be their pray :)
Thank you. It will help me a lot for taking care of my hedgehog ❤❤❤ God bless🙏🏻
I love hedgehog’s ❤
From my observations, I think annoiting is to cover scent. My hedgehog tended to do it more when I took him out of his cage and he would get carpet fibers in his mouth before making the froth. So it was like he was taking something from the new environment to make himself smell like it.
Interesting mine does it to the tahs on my pillows
Hedghehogs,rabbits will always be my favourite animals and dogs i love them 🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤
Thank You For Making this Video cause I have a hedgehog He's 9Weeks Old

I absolutely love this video and the facts, but when you were talking about centipede, you showed a picture of a millipede. Just gave me a nice, friendly little laugh
Lil Sonic
That's not quite true about their quills they do drop some from time to time and you will know it if you happen to accidentally discover one while you barefoot or in socks.

Cute animals. Once met one at close distance, said Hallo and let him alone...

Self anointing is very interesting
I have a pet hedgehog, and the facts for african pygmy hedgehogs are pretty solid. Can I recommend a video on the difference between hedgehogs and tenrecs?
@@zorbathegreek8339 Where did you hear that? 😂 While they can get fleas, proper care should make that very unlikely. I'd personally say that they're lower maintenance then dogs. They're just a little different 🤗
@@zorbathegreek8339
Where the fuck do you think they'd get fleas if they live inside?
Love Lesser Tenrecs!💙 So small, adorable wee faces & great little arboreal climbers! Unlike my ground-dwelling clumsy hedgies (yet still equally adorable).. lol!🥰
And the diff is that they're not even related... like at all!!!
Great for getting rid of slugs and snails in the garden.
Miss Tiggy Winkle! Beatrix Potter, this one’s for Miss Tiggy! Lucy would be so happy to see it!

Beautiful little creatures.
There's actually a 18th species. They come in blue colours and run fast. Usually rolling down slopes in a ball form.
Actually there are 2 more! [CLASSIFIED BY GUARDIAN UNIT OF NATIONS] The second species is white and has special power that allows them to float and pick up items without grabbing them
@@Enitssg7800 don't forget the pink one
how about the edgy black hedgehog? My favorite 😍
Fun fact : hedgehogs are my favourite animal
They are cuter than cats. I've never seen one because we don't have them in Australia. We have the superficially similar echidna, which is also very cute, but I've only seen them in a zoo.
