Hi everyone! Here's a video on how I clip my hedgehogs nails. The bath method is not recommended for hedgehogs that are willing to dunk their heads under water. As mine do not like water on their faces, this method is the fastest way to do their nails. If the bath method is not for your hedgehog, try out some of the others I mention toward the end of the video!

I just took my friends hedgehog for her and your channel had helped so much! He’s getting more comfortable with me but he’s about to hate me because from the looks of it he’s never had his nails trimmed. I just wanna give little Charlie a good life! Thank you for your videos! I’d be so lost without them
i love how she calls them “my boys” it’s so cute and heart warming
I got my hedgie 4 days ago and I definitely appreciate these video, they definitely helped me alot
I’m thinking of getting a hedgehog soon and your really helping! Keep making these amazing videos
Ya same
yah same

I just received a hedgehog the people before don't seem to actually know much about him and I have been in need of this amazing advice and stuff thank you so much 💖
Krissy Maylin ur so lucky I want one but I don’t have the money I wish I did but nice what’s its name and is it a baby
What a great video! You explained it perfectly. I'm hoping to get a hedgehog soon. A litter is about to be born and I'm thinking of getting one. I'll definitely be checking out more of your videos!
Wait Til They Are Older Or Something Cuz It's a Bit Mean Or Something Look It Up I Don't Know :3
Of course its gonna be waiting to get older
Thank you so much! Was about to take my fussy baby to the vet for the first time clipping her nails but I powered through and she was a total champion with me doing it! Thank you 💕🦔
i love the way that you put the balled up thing into water it immediately unballed. this is a good way to unball a hedgehog
Love this channel. I am gonna get an hedgie for sure but not until I have fully researched their needs etc. Thank you for helping us potential hedgie owners. Keep up the great work. 👍
I lost it when she said hold their butts 😂😂😂
Me reading this right as she says it in the video🤣
Thank you so much. I was nervous about cutting Pickle's nails, but your bath method was great! Absolutely like and subscribe!
Mikes named prickles too!!! Short for prickle pants.
I have found my people. I am the only one I know with a hedgehog so nobody has advice on nail clipping. this helped so much. Thank you!!
My hedgehog needs her nails clipped but hasn’t fully bonded with me yet and won’t let me touch her feet and belly. I know that it took a while for you to bond with blaze, how did you cut his nails when he was still huffy?
Go watch her bonding with your hedgehog video
Bob Joe I'm kind of in the same situation right now. That was about a year ago that you commented that, did you find a solution? Or did you just have to wait until you had bonded with your hedgehog better?
This was a year ago, did you ever find a solution? I’m struggling here D:
@@littleskeletondudeman50 same 😢
@@courtneywypich4200 It happens within the 1st couple weeks my guy was huffy bity n everything now good
Such a helpful channel! I’m getting a hedgehog in two weeks abs I’ve been watching your channel for months! I am so greatfull! I now feel fully prepared to take on a hedgehog and give him an awesome life!
This was so helpful I just got a hedgehog three days ago and I couldn't figure out how I could clip her nails. Thank you and you're little hedgies are so cute
Thank you so much for your videos. My boyfriend and I want to get a hedgehog in the future and you videos have helped me understand how to take care of one. Also Draco and Blaze are so cute
Little guy is so patient 💅
Omg this is what I requested. Thank you! This was very helpful!
Happy to help! :)
I love that you talk to him while you were trimming his nails. Haha I yammer to mine but sometimes think I must seem crazy to others who hear me. I have a lot of difficulty trimming my lad's nails. He doesn't like his feet held, so its easier to mis-trim because he moves a lot and I just don't have enough hands to hold him still long enough to clip-clip fast. SO, I'm grateful for your various ideas of how to trim! TY! (Draco looks like my first hedgehog.
Hi tori! My family is getting a hedgehog on the 13th, and we all watch your vids for tips. Ty for making all of these great videos!
Do you have your own bag of hedgehog supplies or toys? If so, could you show us? Keep up the amazing work!
more like a whole trunk 😂
Your profile is killing me
@@maryam8676 omg it’s from like 3 years ago i forgot i still even had this profile pic and name 😂
Your videos are so helpful! I was wondering how to clip my hedgehog's nails because she's aways balls up if i try flipping her over or if I try touching her feet.
Just seeing the title reminded me that my hedgehog always unballs in the bath!
With your 15min of taking me through it we were successful! Thank you
you should write a book on hedgehog care lol your so great at taking care of yours
I'm actually adopting a headgy from my parents this month. This video is going to help alot.
I just wanted to thank u i have been watching your videos and Researching thing and things u say and know i really want one and have a little to learn but you videos have helped so much thank you
Thank you for this! I accidentally hit the wick and it was so hard not to feel panicked. This vid really helped!!!
Very helpful thank you!!
Love these hedgie videos im getting one on the 11th of november im so excited!
0:42 to 0:43 OMG you can not tell me he does not look so CUTE😍😍😍
You are an amazing mom.... Mexico loves youuuu
+Paola Sotres ❤️❤️❤️
Make a video on what stuff you have for your hedgehog
are scissors the best option for clipping their nails? Or do the clippers recommended on amazon and exotic nutrition good? What will make it easier?
i fell asleep with you tube running and i wake up ...mind you now.... from a dead sleep and this is playing and I actually thought (maybe i am) I died in my sleep and was in hell and this tutorial will be playing non stop for eternity in the bowels of hell!!! oh yes we pay for our sins!!
Draco will haunt you in your nightmares. Rawr.
Thank you
pretty Hedgehog
Hi! For starters, I love your videos. It has been really helpful as a beginner hedgie owner. My boyfriend and I just got a pair, Hoko and Joey and we've been extremely clueless on how to take care of them and we came across your videos on UA-cam and they really shed some light on a lot of things we weren't familiar with. Hope you can continue making more hedgie related videos!
I've got one question though, where do you buy all your hedgie supplies? I've been looking for a good scissors to use to cut their nails but the ones we found aren't that good. Any tips?
The scissors I had in this video were cuticle scissors! I haven’t been able to find a pair like them in a long time, I use regular cuticle clippers or small nail clippers from the drugstore now! :)
I love your hedgehog SOOOO much you have inspired me to buy one and can you please can you answer this how often do you need to wash your hedgehog
i know this is old, and im not her, but you should bathe when dirty. If its just the feet i suggest a footbath. about a week to a month should be fine.
In the 90’ I brought back the hedgehog to the pet store. Didn’t know much about it, didn’t have internet or UA-cam then to understand it. It was always scared every time I tried to take it so I got fed up after a couple of week and returned it. I just wished that we could have UA-cam in the 90’
I just got a hedgehog his name is Spike bean Neilson and he’s so cute! Thx u so much for these videos! Keep it up!!🦔💗
I have heard about putting fine grit sandpaper like 400 grit on there wheel so as they walk it will wear the nails down. Any opinion on that
thank you
What kind of nail clipper do you recommend?
Tomarrow/when it's not 1 in the morning I'm going to try this.😬
what scissors are you using ? and where did you get them??
What kind of clippers are you using?
Hi tori, so I have been watching your videos for about a month now collecting information.You have been so much help with care, tips, bonding, and done an amazing job with helping me through this journey.But I do have like two quick questions, first if my parents do agree to me getting a hedgehog then I actually have a nail clipper that we use for my dogs and it's kinda like a curved nail trimmer thats a little big but not to big to where you can't hold it.So what i'm saying is can I use that if I get a hedgehog and trim it's nails, or would you say scissors are a better option?The second question how often should you bath/trim their nails?
ik im not who you wanted to respond, but im somebody- I use regular nail clippers, and my hedgehog is healthy.
@@len8971 Thx for the tip!
@@rustyspoonsleader4238 np!
With my dog, if you accidentally cut the quick and the bleeding is bad, i've been told to put corn starch or baking soda on it. It helps the blood clot or something. Could this be a method used for hedgehogs as well?
Are they just scissors or a particular nail clipper ? Can't find anything similar. Smallest nail clippers are too big even
What time can you give them a bath?! I am so confused, at night they are active but its cold and at day they are asleep.
what do you use to clip your hedgehogs’ nails
I just adopted a hedgehog from someone who did not handle her very often. The Poor things nails are very long but with her not being used to me what is the best way to trim them without traumatizing her or getting bit to all heck?
Do you use any trimmers?
How often do u wash ur hedgehog,do footbaths, and clip nails
Are there quills supposed to go in one direction? Because I bought a hedgehog off of Facebook because her owner didn't take care of her but hers are all over the place and her skin is really dry..
how do you know when it’s time to cut their nails? about how often do you cut them?
When you say recent do you mean a week, a month, a day?
Thank you so much these videos are so helpful! I just got my hedgehog two days ago, and I notice that she was given to me with sort of long nails. I tried clipping her back feet because the front look okay but the back were super long. I tried clipping them at least a little so that she isn't in any pain for the meanwhile while she walks! Should I try to do a little bit a day since she's not yet used to me? I don't want to stress her out too bad since she is currently getting used to me and her new home!
That sounds like a good plan! If you can get them done in one go, that'd probably be the least stressful, but if she's only cooperating for short periods then just do what you can when you can. (:
PugPibbleHedgie yeah she's very wiggly and unhappy when it comes to cutting her nails!
Do you have to use a heat lamp?? What happens if you don’t have one but you have a heater?????
What are the best scissors to use
I love my hedgehog so much.... love ❤❤❤❤❤
How often do you clip them
How often do you do this?
Holy cow, that intro music jumpscared me a lot haha
he looks mad 🤣
Its been over one year but mine nvr let me clip nails,she gets superrrr angry whenever I try to,n become balled up,wont come out for few minutes...any idea?:(
Why the hell did I think she was about to say “then you bake the hedgehog for a few minutes, they should pass out then you can easily clip their nails!”
How do you clip their nails if they do get curled?
I went to purchase a baby hedgehog but when I seen an adult they had I ended up purchasing her instead. Her nails are crazy long and curls under very bad and she is absolutely not tamed at all. We can pick her up but she is all quails the entire time and huffs and puffs the entire time we're getting her and if we move as well. When I touched her foot she had a more not happy reaction so I'm sure she's in pain and I haven't been able to observe them too well. We just got her yesterday and was trying to give her time to bond before I started to attack her nails, but I feel like if she's in pain it's cruel not to do it how, however I never had one so don't know what to do. Should I start with a bath and see if she'll allow me to do it there or try something different. I feel like as unhappy as she is at being touched she might not know about water.
SO FUNNY that I literally JUST got done clipping nails, then I open YoutTube and this video pops up on my suggestions list (even though it's a 7yo video). For the first time, we managed to get all of them in one go - it only took 45 min (she's 2 and half yo). #Cynda 👍👍👍❤
Draco made a mess in the water.
How long is to long when it comes to hedgehog nails? I'm horrible at telling
Help, I hit the pink bit. I only just went to the vet yesterday for a checkup and it was £100 and I don’t want my mum to have to pay another trip I’ve tired baking powder but it’s still bleeding a bit. My mums trying to reassure me she will be ok but I’m still really scared and worried, what shall I do!
That hedgehog: Hmm.. My nails are being clipped..
My hedgehog when clipping her nails: *WhAT DiD HeDgiE Do To DeSeRvE ThIisS?!?!*
Is it necessary to clip them
cant we get one with fur instead of spikes??
How often do you clip a hedgehogs nails?
Are you going to do Vlogmas the year? I watched all your post last year that's when I found your channel 🤗
Yep! :)
What temperature is the water?
We couldn't find a hedgehog wheel in Canada. We bought a plastic saucer type wheel. Are those ok to use?
I would not . Only because the have to curve their backs to run straight
You can order a caralina storm wheel on Etsy
Button is nowhere near as well behaved D: she hates baths and being in any situation where she has to sit still, it her nails are getting long. What should I do????

how often do their nails need to be clipped?
+keiralyn mckafrey As needed :)
+PugPibbleHedgie You can visibly see them growing so I just clip them when I notice them getting long, I don't have too much of a routine for it :)
@@ToriLynnPPH what scissors are you using?? Like where can I buy them??
You can find small animal nail scissors at most pet shops. I bought mine at Petco for about five bucks.
I just got a new hedgehog for Christmas
My hedgie was rehomed from a family who didn’t want her anymore. I’ve had her for almost a week and she hasn’t totally bonded with me so she hasn’t let me cut her nails yet but I keep trying ive got the front done but the back she tucks in so I can’t. I don’t think they ever bathed her or cut her nails.
Got my hedgehog Saturday, in three days he already fully trusts me which is insane. I haven’t given him a bath yet because he hasn’t needed it but I do not know how he is gonna react to a bath 😂
Where can I get those nail clippers that you used? I like them :)
They were cuticle scissors! I got them from a drugstore near me!
PugPibbleHedgie at any drugstore?
Excuse me Tori I have a question😊 do their bites hurt. I really am looking forward to getting a hedgehog for my next birthday. I’m asking because I wanna make sure that my hedgie is the most pampered thing ever.
Yes, it does hurt, but they rarely bite (it also depends on the personality of your hedgie. Mine have never bitten me or anyone, even though they were mostly unhandled when i got them). They would much rather hiss, click, curl up and pop before considering to bite. Just be careful that your hands don't smell like their treats or food when you handle them. That's when they might bite, mistaking your finger for a snack.
Ok, how the fluff is Draco so calm in the bath?! My boy hatttttesssss bath time, which makes me hate it too.
I just put my hedgehog on the bed and wrestle with him until he surrenders •^•
Sooooo great really good advice xx 😘😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰💜💜💜stunning creature 😋😋😋😃😃🤩🤩Thankyou xx 😘
You must have great eyesight!
Is it possible to use nail clippers for humans when cutting your hedgehogs claws?
Yes. :)
what is a "do" claw? (I'm not sure how "do" is spelled)
Michelle Miller it’s the nail on the ankle of the legs, many mammals have them
How often shall i bath my hego
I GOT A PERMIT WITH MY HEDGEHOG WHERE DO I GET ONE IT SAYS IT EXPIRES DO I NEED ONE IS IT MANDATORY IM IN JERSEY
I have had trouble finding a hedgehog food that's ok for hedgehogs. Some people say only use cat food, other people say use the food specialized for hedgehogs, People also say to not food them any kibble at all! I am really confused as to what I should and should not feed my hedgehog. Please help!
Turtle. 101 you should use a mixture of cat food, veggies/fruit, and some protein. Dried mealworms and dead crickets are a good option for protein, but make sure to not give them too much. Introduce the new foods one by one, so if there's an odd reaction you know which one is causing the problem. before you give them any new foods, you should google which ones are the best for them and which ones will hurt them.
Turtle. 101 hedgehog food isn’t good for them, u should use cat food and as a treat insects
My hedgehog is very stubborn. Her nails are very long and I've tried to cut them but she won't let me. She huffs and puffs every time I try to cut her nails and she likes to dunk her head under the water. She gets very stressed out if I try to cut them and she curls up into a ball. Does anyone have a good method for getting them to calm down? I don't want her nails to curl and pierce her feet!
Pickle Brynn make sure she acclimates to the water. to stop her from dunking her head put your finger under her chin.
Pickle Brynn put her in water up to her chin so she doesn't curl in a ball.
What kind of clippers do you use?
The ones in this video are cuticle scissors! I use human ones mostly now, because those broke and I haven't been able to find a pair I like as much.
My hedgehog spits foam on his quills and my mom thinkgs he may have rabies, although I highly doubt he has. Do you have a way I can explain to her what he's doing?
It is called anointing, which is how they scent mark themselves essentially. I have a couple videos of it on my channel, I would show her one! It's totally normal, he doesn't have rabies.
Where can I find those scissors? I assume they are specifically for cutting nails
They’re cuticle scissors from the drugstore! :)
