fun fact: hedgehogs actually arent rodents! they are a part of the Erinaceidae family :)
Sam as echidnas and Porcupine!
@@InsufficientYarsago Actually, while hedgehogs aren't rodents, Porcupines are and Hedgehogs and Porcupines are not closely related. Furthermore, neither are echidnas to either of those two. They're all different (porcupines = Rodentia, echidna = Monotremata/Tachyglossidae, hedgehogs = Eulipotyphla/Erinaceidae). As far as I know, they developed their quills separately. After all, it is really just hair evolved into a defensive mechanism from the punk rock '70s.
Robotnik likes to call them rodents though, as an insult.
@@InsufficientYarsago Whaaattt?? Not even close
@@presterjohn7789 cool
Thank you for this information! My daughter wants a hedgehog, but doesn't really know anything about them. We're doing research on them and this definitely helps. 👍
Our pleasure!
@@twisted4u We don't have our animals for our amusement. We have them because we love them very much and consider them part of our families. And they're all rescues.
@@twisted4u evidence that they don’t enjoy being pets????
@@hunterb8773 Geez, will you give it a rest and just go away?
@@04straw from one comment? Cry
I've got one question. Why are they so damn cute?
Fr
Good question. What actually makes one animal cute compared to another? That would be interesting to find out
I've been having my hedgehog for 6 months and the thing in this video that stood out the most is the adventurous part! My little Penelope is so adventurous that she thinks up new ways to get out her cage every other day! She's very smart!
stupid hedgehogs dont want to be pet
How do you deal with zoonotic diseases.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us!✨
@twisted4u Most insects are pretty fatty and can cause obesity so I wouldn't recommend that for more than once a week. Bigger is better but avoid using wired cages cause they climb so get a glass one or a tub. most substrates that don't make sense with the type of hedgie you own. Like most domestic hedgies are native to more desert regions like Africa. Hedgies like African pygmies are the most common and best pets that are bred in captivity and prefer being in their cage most of the time but make sure to take them out so they don't socially detach.
@samchan1031 To be fair nothing wants to be a pet until domesticated and then it's probably best for them to remain pets. Unless you just hate all pets which is fair because humanity really effed up nature.
Well, because of my grandma I basically grew up with them as she was an honorary worker at a hedgehog resque center, even though she was retired. they are really cute but it is really sad in which state they are sometimes and the human is the reason (lawnmowers etc.). they had a 15-20 year lifespan and now have one from 5-6 years. but i've seen chonkers that almost were 1 kg i believe. I loved seeing them. But I've also seen a lot of things with them. They sometimes are heavily wounded, even missing an eye or ear and surviving. some were infected and some were very thin, which is why the center was active during the autumn and winter. I've also once called my grandma to school because there was a hedgehog swarmed by wasps and flies. It was alive when suddenly it was bleeding from the nose in the car. Instead of going home we went to the doctor and it was euthanized as it was too late. How I hope that it was not suffering for long. It was pretty small and I hope that it at least had a painless death. It is amazing how long it has been. Sadly my grandmother died of natural cause 5-6 years ago. I do not wish to be pitied or anything, just wanted to share something on what seems to be an appropiate video.
If you found a weak one or wish to help one in need (like in winter and they didn't eat enough to fatten up), then there is a couple things you can actually do at home, at least if it is not severe (like an infection). of course giving it to people that specialize in that kind of care, then do it, but if is a bit famished (?) or needs a little food, then you can do this (but be careful, this is only meant if it is taken in temporary):
Disclaimer: this is from what I remember, may not be accurate or even be bad for them. searching the internet probably is better.
- get something to remove ticks and fleas, you may want to get them off if you want to keep it in the house (temporary! it is not a pet). you can also do it if they are outside
- If it stays outside, then get some kind of shelter to protect it from predators. if it is inside, get a large box (plastic or cardboard, something that can withstand fluids and no holes which they can entagle in).
- get some old newspaper or anything and put it on the bottom of the box as ground. this will make cleanup easy (for poop and urin). maybe do multiple layers.
- get a shoebox and cut a half circle (more of half an oval) and leave the cardboard on and bend it away (down or to the side). put flat side to the ground. keep the lid on (the lid should be the top side for easy access) so it stays as a box with only the entrance as opening(i will explain later). get a towel and put it on the ground of the box and get newspaper (newspaper is softer and not as sharp as paper) and cut it to 1cm wide strips (like in a shredder). put those in there, that will be the shelfter of it (if you keep it inside) so it stays warm and has a place to flee to (it should be dark in the box at least). if you keep it outside just put in the newspaper strips in the wooden box (i.e. if you bought one for your garden). You could probably use hay if you wish to buy some or get some grass or leaves, at least something to insulate.
- for food and water get something like petri dishes or like very low plates, the ledge should be low so the hedgehog does not have to climb much to access it. something as big as 12cm diameter should be enough. you can get water from the tap and for food, choose cat food. if it is canned wet food, then just put it on (warning: they stink a lot from eating wet canned cat food). If you have pellets, then put them in water so they soften up. fruit pieces and vegetables can work as well (like apples and lettuce. i believe they liked banana a lot). please do not use rotten stuff. In terms of what will make them the fattest the fastest will be the wet canned cat food.
- if you keep it inside, then put it in the living room or a room, where it will not annoy you at night.
- Put a blanket or something else on the large box (for the night) and put in breathing holes so that your pets do not get funny ideas. you can probably staple the blanket to the large box or clamp it on there so it stays on. Just make it so that you can easily access anything on the inside and take a look inside.
- weigh them on like something you would use to weigh flour for recipes (i think it was called scale, I am not a native speaker). grab a towel and put it on there. if you have an O ring or anything, put it under the towel. you can put the hedgehog on its back so it rolls up into a ball and then put it in the O ring (or on the scale). You may find good numbers in the internet if you search the age and size but maybe you can see from pictures what you are roughly looking for when it comes to how fat they should be in/for the winter.
- if something bad happens (like bleeding), then take it to the vet. you remember the shoebox with the cardboard piece you bent away? you can use that as a door to close the box and now drive to the vet carefully.
- it also is basically enough if you happen to spot is as they are shy. just getting some small bowls or plates and putting food on them will be enough for them to eat. put it in a spot that the hedgehog will reach and where other animals won't just joink it away.
This is just some stuff you can do for wild hedgehogs if you wish to do so. Again, it has been some time and my grandma died half a decade ago so it may not be correct anymore as i will not remember it perfectly (I'm human after all)
it is a happy memory that will hopefully live on with me for as long as I live as it were very happy times. rest in peace grandma, I miss you....
RIP Grandma. You did a great job loving animals
That is...a REALLY interesting name for your channel there.
Thanks!
I love how cute hedgehogs are. In UA-cam videos and all over the internet, they're always smiling
Thanks for watching.
I had a pet hedgehog when I was younger and honestly everything was great with her other than the fact that the food we fed her stinked rlly badly and so did her dropings. So if you want a relatively nice smelling area, consider buing dry worms or something since some foods are just nasty smelling (tho nutritious to them).
This video was so cute lol thank you! Had my baby Piper since May and I absolutely adore her 😍
Glad you liked it!!
warning they can travel faster then the speed of light so good luck catching them

I love Hedgehogs. Mostly due to Sonic.
Relatable
I have never seen a hedgehog with mushrooms stuck to their quills and now I have and life is infinitely better
Hedgehogs are full of surprises 🦔🍄
Pro: just a silly little guy
But they're super cute and adorable.
I showed a hedgehog a episode of sonic X
*he is now runs fast and turned blue and is getting chased by a mad scientist with robots*
Hope you will like the other videos. Stay Tuned.
@@petopedia_ :)
Video was very informative. Thank you! I would love to get one but I plan on getting another dog as well. I wouldn’t want it to affect the hedges natural routine or have it be uncomfortable. Maybe one day I’ll get one, but only when I can be sure I can give it everything it needs
Thank you for watching. Good luck for your next pet parenting!
How come you said that on the pros they won’t make much noise but on cons you pretty much said they will
Maybe it the toys that make the Noise
Such a cute video, nice narration. Thank you! Learnt a new term "hedgey"
It's funny because when I had 2 hedgehogs they were both loud and very stinky. Then you contradict yourself by saying they are silent but also will keep me up at night with their loud noises.
Thanks for visiting. Stay tuned for more.
Shitty video right? Piss poor, lazy research.
@@petopedia_ the fuck😂😂
That may have had something to do with the food, I've had years in which they were so super stinky with farts and poop. This year they are not at all and are eating kibble for good digestion of cats. These are wild hedgehogs that just come in from outside so if you have a pet you have far more control of what they are eating. I read that fish catfood makes them very stinky.
if they are too noisy, keep them in a big water tank, they will have no more hiss sound, please try
If I didn't have 2 cats.... I'd get one. So adorable!
Thanks for leaving your valuable comment. Stay tuned for more.
believe me, your cats won't go near them, I've had multiple cats that avoided them like the plague - cat's aren't stupid 😂

So they're clean but messy and quiet but the noise from them will keep you up all night? Also, they don't like being around humans but after some handling will be cool with it? Useless contradictory video... c'mon, doesn't even make sense a little
Biggest pro: insane cuteness
Thanks for watching✨
Hedgehogs aren’t actually rodents. They have teeth designed to eat some meat!
Why ELSE do you think Sonic likes chili dogs?
@@KellyLaurich I know that. But Sonic isn't your TYPICAL hedgehog. He is from Mobius.
Uh, did she say hedgehogs are rodents?
No she said "Rodent Like"
I’m such an animal lover and is looking into different pet I might want in the future. As I want multiple pets. I don’t think hedges will be right for me but I do have a question. Can I still keep hedges if they are in a separate room to other pets?
Thanks for your query. Please, check the full video to find your expected answer. Stay tuned for more.
@petopedia5735 u didn't answer the question
Maybe.. but might be best not too. The scent of the hedgehog may spark curiosity in your other pets to come pay them a visit Or may even stress them out.
I have hedgehogs and two cats, my hedgehogs keep in a closed cage like an aquarium. both are adjusting just fine.
I'm not sure if a hedgehog would be scared of my cockatiel
That's actually not true that they are hypoallergenic. Hedgie hives are VERY common for new Hedgehog owners until they get used to the bacteria that get trapped on the quills.
Thanks for your insight.

Thank you for your comment. Stay tuned for more videos.
That hedgehog has a wicked look 😂😂

Thanks so much. I might get one in a few months ^^

@@petopedia_ Hey, so I’m deciding not to get a hedgie because I want a cuddly pet. I’ll try convincing my parents to get me a hamster or Guinea pig instead even though I have 2 cats. A friend of mine had a hamster and 2 dogs so I’ll ask her. Thanks
What would you do if you were a hedgehog for one day? If I was a hedgehog for a day, I would collect rings and find jewels so I could go Super Saiyan and beat up an evil scientist, all while running fast as hell. 🦔
"Low maintenance" lmao WHAT? Hedgehogs are the opposite of low maintenance
Thanks for sharing your experience with us!✨
it's not my experience, hedgehogs are fearful animals by nature and keeping them as pets tends to exacerbate their dislike of humans@@petopedia_
This video was cute but...Hedgehogs don't stink?? I mean maybe their natural scent is nice but they are hella messy and dirty as pets. Be prepared for your room to smell like poop because they get COVERED in it!! I recommend a small air purifier for your comfort lol.
thank you !! glad you liked it!! Hope you will like the other videos. Stay Tuned.
Well, as a natural instinct hedgies like to chew their poops and rub it on their back in a mixture of saliva and fecal matter as a means of making themselves smell and taste bad to predators. but also they just don't care if they get messy. No wonder hog is in their name, they seem to not minding rolling around in dirt!
@@beetlesalt6759 woah, I didn't know this! I haven't seen my hedgie do this but now I'll keep an eye out.
I just got one and he is already very messy lol
Y’all this channel is bs. All their replies are auto generated and copy pasted. And half of these facts aren’t even true. 1. They absolutely can stink 2. You can ABSOLUTELY be super super allergic to them, I mean possibly deadly; A lot of hedgie owners recommend interacting with a hedgehog before getting one to check for allergies. 3. In this video they say hedgehogs are quiet… but then also contradict themselves by saying they will keep you up at night bc they’re nocturnal and make noise…. Make it make sense. 4. Hedge hogs are ABSOLUTELY not low maintenance pets???? Idk why they would even say that. They are so much hard work. Much harder work than other small pets; even more difficult than rabbits (which are not low maintenance AT ALL) 🤨🤨🤨 5. ALSO; hedgehogs aren’t always lovey dovey. A lot of them won’t like human contact. Some are assholes and will hate being handled. If one wants to be alone their entire life, you have to be prepared to still take responsibility for them. Of course it depends on the hedgie
Yeah I definitely noticed that their facts were off and very questionable at times. Poor research, maybe English isn’t their first language.
Yeah it was funny they talked about being allergic to fur then showing the fur on a hedgehog. Showing clearly they do not just have spines. They also say they do not get sick then say they do get sick and need a special vet. And quiet and also loud, haha. i have wild ones coming in my house and they even make noise during the day when they sleep and when they are inclined to entertain themselves they buldoze behind things and will climb boxes. They like exploring and they do not actually mind eachother or my cats, the other day one of my cats had to hiss to keep one away from the box he was in and the hedgehog tried twice.
i suggest a low maintenance way to keep a hedgehog: put it into a big water tank, it can swim, exercise, keep quiet and poop inside
Thank you! Still definitely not getting one any time soon but love it😅dumb question: if the hedgehogs are siblings and never separated(gotten together), will they still fight? If not, does gender play a role in "characteristics"? Like male cats are known to be more aggressive than female cats
Ha ha! There's no doubt that you're humorous!
this channel is terrible lol
That’s not an answer. Thanks AI

I overheard my parents discussing on whether or not they should let me get a smaller pet, just to keep me company, specifically a hedgehog(Probably because I love Sonic The Hedgehog and I tend to share really cute videos of hedgehogs that get recommended to me to the group chat), so I’ve started watching videos just to be pre prepared for the discussion when they will inevitably ask me about getting a pet hedgehog.
Sounds like an exciting conversation ahead! 🦔 Brush up on hedgehog care tips from Petopedia, so you're ready to convince them with hedgehog charm. Best of luck! 🐾
Utterly useless. In this very short video you managed to contradict urself twice, gave incorrect info- & didn't mention any of the basics, like what to feed them. Or make sure they have a large wheel to run (& poop) on.
This is a pros and cons not a care guide if you want that info go look up care guides
@@Sophieivy1_ the pros and cons literally contradict each other. And it was more than twice, like 3+ times 😂
@@Cunningcreeper Ik? Did I say they didn’t?
water tank is helpful to keep them quiet and fit
I have a question tho. My mom is allergic to hair and feathers, would she be allergic to hedgehogs too? I mean you said no but they have hair right?
Their spikes are not the hair! So, we think your mom will be okay!
What if I have dogs, but I never allow them in my room, I would keep the hedgehog in the room, would that be ok or no?
As we're not acknowledged about your dog temperament, we're not sure about how your doggo will react towards the l'll hedgehog. So, it's better to keep them separate!
I have five rescue hedgehog babies. It has been determined that they would have been foraging and still having mums milk. Mum was squished..not by me! I'm finding this very daunting. The budget and the space is the problem. I am to keep them through winter before letting go..so 3 months 🤦♀️ I want them to be healthy and happy of course but I'm feeling wayy out of my depth listening to this 😢
when you decide it’s time to find homes for them please let me know! I’d love to take one off your hands. i love hedgies!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us! ✨
I have one and he is awesome
Thanks for sharing
I will say the comparison to snakes is poor. Hedgehogs who eat daily and poop unpeakable amounts require unfathomably more maintenance than snakes do who typically poop and eat weekly
Thanks for sharing your opinion. But there're so many who prefer hedgehog than snakes to keep as pet!
I would like to apologize to Petopedia for the rudeness of my comment below. I do have serious concerns about the information presented, but should not have stated it in such a rude manner.
The truth isn't rude. Facts are facts, people don't like facts.
@@twisted4u I agree. If they want to make a video that is presented as educational and factual they shouldn't state a bunch of nonsense. People like this are the reason so many animals end up ' rehomed' or euthanized
My hedgehog has been for me for some years and that has made my hedgehog trust me enough to go under the back of my shirt and sleep there

Thanks for sharing your valuable opinion with us. Stay connected for more.
They are very messy, and if you aren't keeping up with the maintenance it's GG. Also they are very stinky, and people have allergic reactions to them. I feel like this video was made up 😆
@@petopedia_ It's not an opinion. I turned this video off 2 minutes in because of the contradictory statements and robotic way the message is delivered. Hedgehogs can be messy and stinky if the maintenance isn't kept up on.

Was thinking about 2 gerbils or a hedgy think il go with 2 gerbils
Say no to a hedgehog. I've had several .....key word HAD. They can be stinky. They run on a wheel ALL NIGHT while they pee and poop non stop. Washing the wheel is gross. Usually everyday unless you enjoy the smell. And if they run around your house they do their business wherever......SURPRISE! Mine were bad about biting. Their teeth clamp down hard. Mine were never "loving" or affectionate. Once the novelty wore off, they became a real pain to maintain in more ways than one.

hi! I have some questions here
1 how often do I have to take my hedgehog to the vet?
2 is it normal if my hedgehog isn’t using its wheel very much?
3 how bad does it hurt if it bites
4 can I train my hedgehog to stay awake during the day and sleep during the nigh?
5 (last one) what are the best ways to bond with it?
ONLY HEDGEHOG OWNERS ANSWER PLS
Thanks for your query! Please watch our video on Hedgehog Care Guide: ua-cam.com/video/2eP47edbttg/v-deo.html
Hope you will find all your expected answers! Stay tuned for more!
I know you said only hedgehog owners answer but I have wanted one a handful of times so I’ve done a fair share of research (Maybe more than a fair share-more like an ungodly amount lol) Anyways,
1. From my research, every 6 months and when something seems off. Better safe than sorry especially since hedgehogs are great at hiding their problems.
Fyi they do need an exotic vet and if something serious is wrong with them it could cost a big buck! ($500-$1,000!)
2. No! Something could be wrong with them or they are overweight. Hedgehogs typically run 9-12 miles per night so if they aren’t running on their wheel I’d get that checked out asap!
3. Depends on your pain tolerance. It won’t feel nice of course but you won’t be in excruciating pain either
4. You can but it’s not advised! They are nocturnal by nature. You can wake them up during the day but they will tend to be a bit grumpy if you do!
5. You can put a sock, t-shirt, or honestly any piece of clothing you have worn and out it in the cage so they can get used to your smell (Don’t wash it prior). They might poop on it so if you don’t like the thought wear an old shirt or clothing item for some time, one that you’ll never wear again, and put it in there. You will also want to spend 15-30 minutes with them when they are awake (Usually early morning or evening, unless you stay up late then any time at night)
Remember to do lots of research before getting one so that your spiky friend can have proper care! And if you can, don’t shop but adopt! (Don’t go to like Petco or something but adopt from a shelter or breeder)

This video is wrong on so many levels.. I've had multiple hedgehogs for many years,
They're noisy all night, they're very smelly AND not allergy friendly.. i don't know what the lady is talking about, but there's fur all over the belly and paws of the hedgehog. I had to get rid of mine because of allergies to fur

0:37 hedgehog is not a rodent!!!
But we haven't said that they are Rodent. Instead, we said . It means, some of their characteristics are tad bit similar to the rodent.
Hope, it's clear now. And, thanks for watching and interacting with us!

They are not pets!! Just encourage them into your garden with a feed station and a house and let them do thier thing and have thier natural wildlife!! Only yanks would have them as house pets
