Pets Keepers Guide Forums

I've been thinking about getting a hedgehog, I've started wanting one just recently. Is there anything I should know about hedgehogs before searching for one I want?

I've never kept one myself, and the only live one I saw was crawling into a ball. Although I've heard they are easy to raise, since they aren't picky at all on what they eat.

special hobby!few people like hedgehog.It was what and when you get to like it.I'm just curious about it lol.

This site may help you. Please, research completely before getting one.

Thank you, I'll read through it

Your welcome, I hope it helps.

Thank you, it was very helpful, and that is good to know that I should not have 2 hedgehogs occupying the same space.

Territorial?

Too common on this planet. Many aquarium fish are also territorial.
As well as the humans.

Very true, everybody wants something to consider their own.

I know I am bringing an old topic back up but I didn't want to duplicate

Does anyone else here have a hedgehog as a pet? I got one a few months ago, sort of a rescue; he was on Craigslist for $30 with the title of "Please take him or I have to take him to the shelter." I absolutely adore this little guy! He is of course named Sonic although it was Houdini by the previous owner but I already had a snake by that name so I had to change it.

He is so cute to watch waddling across my laptop when I let him visit me on the table. And he goes CRAZY for mealworms!

He is amazingly easy as far as maintenance goes; although you do have to clean the cage almost daily.
