Rebeca Chavez yeah, it was the fault of the bloody ass person who sold you piper. R.I.P. Remember : the only cure for grief is to grieve. Never be sad about a loss, they are happy , you just cant see them 😊
I would really like to share my experience. About a year ago, I adopted a guinea pig named Syrup, and she was really healthy and as far as I knew, happy. She was young, too. After only a month, she stopped eating, so I took her to the vet. The vet said that Syrup’s teeth were growing inward. So every time she ate, she would stab her tongue with her teeth. We had to feed her through a syringe. Three days passed, and she died in the middle of the night. We all love our pets and we all know they’ll die one day. Thank you for telling us about your hedgehogs and listening to my story as well.
;-; poor little syrup and i feel bad for you aswell, she is in gods care and i wish there was something we could do about it! also, the guy that sold you syrup probably knew about syrups condition.
Poor thing. I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I'm wondering if the name "Syrup" was given after she started having tooth problems, and could only be fed through a syringe (in what would be a "syrup-like" form) or it was purely a coincidence.
Dude you made me cry! Also i lost a hedgehog once,her name freeda and she was the nicest hedgehog ever and then we lost her. She was only 2 and the most precious thing ever
I feel bad for you we had a dog.She was a Jack Russell her name was Stinky.She was pretty old.About in her teens or 20s.Any ways a few days before we went on vacation she was throwing up not eating or drinking that much and she was very sluggish.So I took a few pictures before we left.On our way home I fell asleep in the car.And my parents woke me up while we were in the neighborhood and sadly our dog passed away.We loved our dog she was so sweet and was so happy and entertaining.But if she saw someone she didn't know she would bark.Before she died she put her front paws on my uncle's legs took one last breath and died.We still don't know how she died but we think she either had heart worm or cancer but we don't know.But we got her ashes and she will always be remembered😭
IM really sorry to hear about Freeda. I have a hedgehog and she is the sweetest soul i have ever met in an animal in my life, we love her so much but she is dying. I am not sure how long she has left but there is apparently nothing we can do at this point. I don’t know how to deal with seeing her like this and the thought of losing her and I am really struggling with it.
I feel your pain, we lost my baby girl Clementine to cancer, though she was a ferret she was my best friend, we discovered she had cancer after she passed, I hope nala, piper, and clem are all doing great, and are healthy on the rainbow bridge.
Sally Guthrie I made a comment on a video expressing how I felt. You made the choice to look at the comments before you watched the video. I honestly don't understand why you are commenting on the fact that I "ruined" the video for you when the video is about a pet Taylor just lost. Could you find something else to comment on please? Preferably something about the video and a bit more empathetic.
“These aren’t tears... My eyes just went for a swim” I’m also so sorry for your loss, I know the feeling of loss however I’ve never lost a hedgehog 🦔R.I.P. Nala (I also used to have a black cat named Nala)
I had a hedgehog, would never buy one again and I strongly discourage others! I had a hedgehog, she was my best friend. After two years I had to put her down... Pet hedgehogs are such a unnatural and forced breed, they get sick very easily and knowledge about any treatment is very limited. Mine had neurological issues which is very common. We tried several treatments with my vet, mainly injections, many painful injections... After a few weeks of battling and crying and force-feeding and watching her starving and going crazy I had to end her suffering. Before getting her I was going to buy other one from other breeder, but two baby hedgehogs died.
they weren't from my area, I was searching in my whole country... there are so many lonely cats, dogs, rabbits for adoption, please consider this while looking for a pet :)
rozbiuamsuoik I understand, I found my cat on the street. They make the best pets! But with things like hedgehogs they may have been surrendered/abandoned for illness or being too much to handle? Idk, I'm in Australia and that's the main reason for surrendering rodents. I guess my point is that even though they are prone to sickness and don't live long, every moment you have them counts. Even if they cost a lot, caused a lot of pain, they caused so much joy and they knew love for the time they were in your home. Sorry if it seems like I'm arguing with you!
me neither! I'm just sharing my point od view, it changed very much recently. It's about life of living and feeling creatures, so I think it's important to talk about it :) (tl;dr: I strongly recommend everybody educating themselves as much as possible and visiting an animal shelter before making decisions what animal to get :) ) After loosing my hedgehog I knew I couldn't live without an animal. As a child we had a beautiful pure breed dog. After a lot of research I wanted to try adopting a dog from a shelter. I heard stories how it looks there, but it's nothing compared to reality... Visit in a dog shelter shattered me. We found a dog that suited our abilities and conditions. People did horrible things to her, she had very sad life, but she trusted us completely after a few days. Everybody that meets her says how beautiful and cheerful she is :) She really is a wonderful dog, beautiful, cute, loving, playful, very smart and soooo happy! Most, if not all, animals in shelters are perfectly fine and need just some love, time and home. And of course, I love my hedgehog so much and my heart will never fully heal. And I still think they are very cute and amazing creatures, but now, knowing how it is with hedgehogs I would personally feel bad giving money to breeders so they can breed more of them. But everybody makes their own decisions and I don't want to judge anyone.
Your the BEST pet owner and person there is don't worry it's not your fault and you shouldn't beat yourself up about it You tried your best and gave it a wonderful life :)
lol I got my hedgehog from the flea market (I KNOW NOT THE BEST PLACE) but I felt bad for this baby hedgehog so I decided to save him and now his name is Hercules and surprisingly they breed amazing hedgehogs I've had him for a while and he is as healthy and happy he could be.
Tyrone 'The victim' Woodley she did not kill the pet it was sick please watch the full video and understand it she felt really bad if you got a pet which was sick before you bought it and after you bought it it died it does not mean you killed it... it simply means the previous owner was bad
I have owned hedgehogs nearly all my life, and with the exception of two (one I took in because I knew she was weak and needed a loving home), all of my hedgehogs lived to be at least four. I had a hedgehog who lived to be 9 yrs old. In her old age, all her teeth fell out, her hind legs were stiff with arthritis, and she lost her vision, but she was still insisting on running in her wheel right up until her final few days! Whoever bred your three hedgehogs did a rotten job. Also, who ever gave you a hard time about your crestie dropping it's tail knows nothing. One of my cresties dropped his tail because a cricket jumped on it. Some cresties are just high-strung and prone to panick. Another thing, (adding to my already too long comment) if you know something's wrong and the vet won't listen, get a second opinion. My parrotlet was eggbound and the vet wouldn't even take x-rays because she looked and acted fine. I payed $30 for him to tell me I had a healthy bird, so I took her to a different vet and I was right. That vet saved my baby's life. I'm so grateful I didn't have to learn my lesson the hard way and I'm so sorry you're baby was victim to an arrogant vet who thinks he knows each individual animal better than their owner. I guess what I'm trying to say in this long, ranty comment is, I have been there. I've encountered a lot of what you're talking about and I'm so sorry you have to go through all that.
Animal deaths are truly painful. I remember having my rabbit in a good cage inside and my dog was outside. And my dog was really nice to my bunny and all so I never worried. But when I went to WalMart and came back, my rabbits cage was outside and I asked my mom "why is it outside?" And she said that she left it there because it was making a mess. Then, I went out to check on my bunny and she wasn't in her cage. I found bits and pieces of her fur around my backyard and I followed it and found her dead body eaten out. I instantly blamed my dog because his stomach was full. It broke my heart because it was like having your son kill your daughter. I still have that dog and I have forgiven him, because it's been 4 years. I remember going to my rabbits grave every night to tell her everything that has happened to me that day and how my life has been and then tell her 'goodnight' So I feel your pain of an animals death. R.I.P Piper
Hamilton Trash well that's just what dogs do its kinda your mom's fault because she could have waited for you so you could make a place for her to stay
Anyone who doesn’t shed tears over a lost pet shouldn’t have pets at all, I took a hedgehog in from someone who ‘got bored’ with him and even though I’ve only had him for a few months I would be in pieces without him, just hearing that these things are even possible makes me start to panic. Hedgehogs have such personality and can really show love if you earn it.
i agree. i had a hamster named zeus and when he started to suddenly get really sick i drove him to the emergency vet in the middle of a snow storm at 11pm (actually it was a dog and cat clinic but they had a vet there who had experience with hamsters and said i could bring him in) to get him care. after finding out what was wrong with him i was instructed to take him to a vet that could give hamster medication so i did. i paid over $500 in vet bills and medication and syringe fed him and made him as comfortable as possible up until the end. everyone asked me why i would go all out like that for a hamster cause "its not like its a dog or a cat". i can't understand the logic in that cause he was still living creature and the friendliest hamster ever (never bit anyone). no one should ever get a pet they aren't willing to go all out for!
Don't blame yourself babe. I've had so many bunnies. I normally would rescue "defected" ones that were on a kill list so naturally I lost a few. It's hard and I would always blame myself even though there was really nothing I could do. All you can do is know you gave them the best life possible and all the love they needed. All the love to you and your animal babies ❤️
CoriGowins I lost something very important to me too I lost but you hermit crabs I lost my aunt I never met like a human ant like she lives in a different country and I never met her and never got to talk to her she ever gave me was a pair of pants and I missed your funeral because it wasn't there and she died of cancer and eye feels very bad for your hamster but I know how it feels like to lose a pet because I lost my most valuable pie ever had my fish he lasted 1 year I mean two years and when I heard that he was dead when I got that message I couldn't believe it we were together since I was 8 I mean 7 and now I'm eight and I don't want to lose my pets but I know that nobody lives forever
Well since we are all on the topic, I suppose I can share my story too. My hedgehog's name was Kimchi, one of the sweetest little creatures I've ever come to know. She was so welcoming and precious, I just adored her. She would actually climb out of her cage whenever we approached because she was excited to come out and explore. But for some reason, she went from climbing and running around to completely lethargic and gagging. She was cold, which has happened before but we warmed her up. She was only two months old, and she died later that night. It's one of the most painful experiences you can go through, and the fact she was just a baby I mean, can it get any worse? Either way, we bought her from this breeder, she seemed trustworthy and said she was certified, but you can never know the real conditions these animals are bred. I would love to get another spikey friend in the future, its just so hard to trust people these days.
This is entirely on the breeder. If you feel like you want to try to get another hedgie in the future, look for a licensed breeder. A good breeder will have a lifetime warranty against WHS and at least a year guarantee against cancer - they're trying to make strains that are cancer-resistant, but of course 0 cancer is an impossible result for any animal. The breeder who gave you Solara sounds like a good egg since she was completely upfront about the possibilities for the specific animal she was selling you. Other things to look for are whether they have really good care information on their website, and whether or not they have a policy for unwanted animals - it seems like reputable breeders will ask the people who don't want their hedgies anymore to return them to the breeder because they are selective about the homes they go to. Some breeders even run hedgehog rescues! My favorite in my state is called Storybook Hedgehogs. If you ever want to reach out to them, they might be able to recommend trustworthy breeders in your region so you can just love the little guys without this kind of heartbreak. I'm so sorry about Piper. This is incredibly sad - please know that you did everything you could and you were let down by both the exotic pet guy and the first vet. Not your fault.
(yes I liked my own comment, I'm not normally this vain but this is really important info for anyone who might be thinking about getting a hedgie! Do your research first).
yah that happen wih my puppy :/ she died a cupple mounths old.. she had a disease that the breeder never told us about we went 2 the doc she said theres nothing they can do about it... later I saw her foaming out of her mouth I was crying I couldn't do anything about it and she died..
I just found you. It seems like you are a responsible pet owner and rescuer. Your hedgie is obviously happy and confident (he’s open and interacting). Although I’m sure some of the negative comments you receive are from people who’s heart is hurting for you, the way they are being worded is inappropriate. I’m sorry.
The fact that you put yourself through this just for the joy of animals and giving them a good home you have such an amazing heart don't feel bad babe you are such a good mommy to all those babies.
One time I went to a Flee Market and I connected to this turtle, I begged to get and I got it. About a week after it died, I cried so hard, but now he's buried in my yard, laying on his rock sunbathing, swimming, and playing in the colorful rocks in the sky.
i know this comment will be super long but i just have to get this off my chest.. i tried so hard not to cry while watching this but still ended up crying pretty much throughout the entire video.. you are such an amazing person and pretty much the best pet owner that i know of and it is so unfair that this happened to you. my heart just broke into a million pieces when you said that Piper passed away. and what is even worse is that people are actually trying to blame her sickness on you. that just makes me so sad. you are such a strong person for going through all this and please don't ever let those stupid hate comments get to you because you really take such good care of your animals it is literally impossible for them get harmed in any sort of way because of something you did. you devote your entire life to these beautiful animals and i respect you so much for that. not only do you take amazing care of your animals you even try to make sure other people do the same by making these videos. if that doesn't make you the best pet owner than i don't know what does. so please keep doing what you are doing because you are making such a difference for pets all over the world and i love you so much for that! rest in peace Piper ❤
You cant be held responsible for bad breeding, but you gave that wee chogs the best care and love in their short lives they could ever have, You made a Scotmans eyes leak.
You gave your all for these animals you have them the best life they could ever have. You are so great. My cat was twelve and she got cancer. I had to take her to the vet and I sobbed and sobbed and blamed myself for her getting sick but I soon realized that I couldn’t control it you are so good and so kind to your animals and they truly do love you and all you do for them!
you're an amazing girl who cares about her animals. don't ever let someone tell you are not. I myself, am an animal lover and want to adopt every single animal who needs a loving home, I am going into animal rescue (law enforcement) to rescue animals and find them amazing, caring homes. I just subscribed to you and I already love you!
*These aren't tears* *My eyes just went for a swim.* *I'm just sweating through my eyes, its hot in here...* *_THIS IS SO SAD_* _Feel better Taylor ND,_ _We support you_
With exotic pets sometimes these types of things just happen. At least you gave them the best you could. when I used to sell Hedgehogs at my shop I saw a lot of people who didn't care for them properly just because they didn't want to spend the money. Honestly, I even treat my breeder roaches as pets so it doesn't matter the species, they should all be treated great no matter what. It's not like they have a choice being in our care. With that said, some exotic pets are just known to come with a lot of issues. The hedgehogs really should be setup in a large enclosure similar to what they'd have in the wild but a lot of pet stores sell them like hamsters. That's a whole other topic though! Sorry you had to deal with this and I hope that your heart can heal soon from it. I would suggest finding reputable breeders from here on out. A lot of times you will see genetic issues from inbreeding with people who don't fully know about genetics while breeding...
LONG SUPPORTIVE POST WARNING! I just want to say that anyone who takes the time to really watch your videos can't NOT see how taking care of your animals is your passion and full-time job. The difference between you and other pet care UA-camrs is how you care for them. You have more than comfortable enclosures for them, the best food and equipment. You give them more than love, but the best home they could ask for. Your knowledge on each of your animals and what they need is more than most owners have. (It has inspired me to learn all I can about my animals!) Nala and Piper would have ended up dying just like they did recently in another home. They would have had the same symptoms...but they would have been with another hog parent who may not have been as educated as you about animals or who may not have had the resources to pay for the medicine. (So many people think that if they can afford the animal and it's enclosure then that's enough) They may have been with someone who may not have taken the time to hand feed them and give them medicine multiple times a day. I'm new to the animal care side of youtube, but Taylor, you are so educated on your animals and make sure you are able to provide for them if the worst happens. You make sure you are able to give them the best care they can have. Nala and Piper are the luckiest hedgehogs to have had your care at the end of their life because, I imagine that if they were in another home, they would have been having the exact same symptoms but would have suffered alone until they passed. You gave them they happiest life they could have asked for, and I'm not just saying that. Why do you think you have so many subscribers in such a short amount of time? Because we all see how not only do you give the so much love, but you take the time to understand what the animal needs, what they will need in the future, what the animal likes and doesn't, and the best brands and best products. You are a phenomenal animal keeper and because of that, watching you take care of all of your happy animals gives us viewers such a warm and fuzzy feeling of peace. It makes me so happy to know that they are being cared for in a way that so many animals aren't. I'm sending so much love your way and I thank you for giving your animals an amazing life. Just like that quote says, they may be a part of your life, but you are their entire life...and their entire life was filled with so much love and quality care.
A few years ago this kitten just ran into my house without even asking. He was very friendly and sweet, so I let him stay. I fed him and watered him then took him to the vet. He has some parasites but other than that he checked out as perfectly healthy. My neighbor said someone had abandoned a bunch of cats in a little stand of woods near my house the week before. He was one of the sweetest, friendliest cats I'd ever seen.Then several months later (just long enough to let myself get really attached, on a Friday he had an bathroom accident. He'd been really good with litter training to this point (he was STRICTLY an inside cat, and never seemed to want to go outside again anyway) so it was kind of weird, but I cleaned it up, but by Saturday night he started seeming to be a bit sick. By Sunday I decided I'd take him to the vet the next day, but he passed away Sunday night. According to the vet he had some kind of feline disease that is always fatal and begins with loss of bathroom control. It really was quite devastating because I liked him so much. Sometimes animals just die, and there is nothing you can do about it.
I just wanted to say, I'm sorry for your loss(es) and all the heartache that came along with it.. I have been there, not with a hedgehog, but I've been there.. and watching this video of you talking about your experience really brought back those feelings for me. There's really no other words for it.. I just know how you felt and wanted to say I'm sorry :'( Just keep loving your other pets, you're a great pet mamma
I'm so sorry for your loss. The passion you have for your animals is undeniable, and the fact that you give them the best life and all the love they could dream of makes their lives as perfect for them as they could be. Thank you for sharing this even though it was emotional for you, you're still educating others. May Piper rest in peace
I'm so sorry for you loss babe 😢 It sucks when a pet passes away It's like a part of your family has left. Chin up gorgeous At least you can help educate other people about these things. Even though something bad has happened, something good can come of it. Keep making videos! I love your content ☺🦄🌈
I lost my dog pharaoh last year I cried so hard and felt so bad because I know he was in so much pain but you have to look at it as you gave them the best life that you could and that's what matters ❣
I at the moment is not allowed to have anymore pets. But both my cats were the runts. I have noticed many people just abandon or choose not to have runts. Both of my cats are healthy and happy. I like to have the runts or animals that people will choose against. I hate it when people choose not to have an animal because of its looks or its medical issues. I have a habbit to love all the animals I see.
Totally agree abt looks but u gotta understand taking in an animals w special needs is way more of a responsibility (financially & I’m terms of effort/time to care for them) than healthy animals so it’s not fair to berate ppl for understanding their limitations, better than having all the best intentions in the world but taking in an animal u don’t have the resources to care for & it ends up suffering & dying or in the best case having to be rehomed
my hedgie passed away this morning. broke my heart entirely. he was only 2 and a half months old. Wobbly Hedgehog syndrome. I can't stop crying. dont know if I can get another or not :( I clearly didn't have him very long but he was so special to me. first pet I ever had. had wobbly symptoms for 5 days and lost his battle. I did all I could. desperately tried to help him. i helped him eat and drink and held him for comfort, got a heater, and talked to him. he was my baby and saying bye to him is so damn hard. R.I.P. Sonic
Dev K I feel completely heartbroken. I never knew I could get so attached so quickly. he was the cutest and the best pet ever. thanks for the kind words and cyber hug. means a lot!
Trust me, this is not your fault. Piper lived an amazing life and was taken care of by an amazing pet owner. You did the best you could. She's in heaven now. RIP Piper 💗
My best friend has had her hedgehog for 7 months her name is peanut I have been worrying because she doesn't always look as happy as normal I am really scared for her now because I seen this I want to make sure that she doesn't pass away to early and break my best friends heart I am so happy that I seen this
hey taylor (long comment coming) so i'll be honest, i found your videos in the first place about a year ago because i wanted two pets: an axolotl and a hedgehog, and i was so excited to see that you owned both of them and had great videos about their care. i finally got a copper axolotl in december and i'm so so happy with him, but i'd still been really pining for a hedgehog (especially after seeing your cuties in all your videos!). even after all the horrible stuff happened with solara i assumed it was a fluke and still intended on getting one, but this video has really made me see sense. i wasn't aware of it but from what you've described it sounds that these african pygmy hedgehogs are a product of clumsy interbreeding to make a domesticated animal that is just unstable and poorly understood. 3/4 of your hedgehogs getting sick like that cannot be a coincidence. its like dogs - everyone assumes its fine to own crazy inbred breeds like french bulldogs and pugs, but ignore the abundance of health issues that have come from lazy breeding to make a quick buck. btw i'm of course not blaming you at all, i would have probably made the same mistake before i watched this video. even though i've had my heart set on one for so long i just cannot handle how utterly heartbroken you are and the money you've spent to try and make them better, so i'm going to put down this idea entirely. its not fair on you or on the animal themselves, if people are just going to breed without thinking about the consequences. as a final note i'm really sorry this happened it sounds so awful, i know i would not have kept myself together as well as you did in this video. i hope you feel better soon and the pain goes away, and at least you have your other pets (and your lovely new puppy) for comfort. mad love x
likeastarbaby That's scary. after watching her videos I desperately wanted a hedgehog and an axolotl. In December I got a hedgehog, even though after watching her videos I knew of the health risks. I was devastated when I watched this video. I feel so bad for Taylor. some of the worst things happen to the nicest people.
2 shots of Clorox Bleach Well excuse me for just stating facts. You're the one making a big deal out of it, I literally just said that everybody dies at some point. You literally had gone out of your way to point out something that wasn't even true.
I"m so sorry that this happened to you, Taylor. One of the most traumatizing experiences I've ever had was ALMOST having to euthanize my ferret. I had just had a c section and was recovering at home with my newborn, when my ferret Rumi became seriously ill. I took him to the vet and was told the surgeries were going to be over 3,000 which I couldn't afford at the time. When I saw him with the catheter in and was told to say goodbye to him, I snapped and told them to just give him the surgery, I couldnt bare to say goodbye to my barely one year old little boy :( At the end of the day, we came up w a quarter of the money owed and the vet told me that he would cover the rest. He just wanted to save my ferrets life, which is unheard of with vets. I'm grateful that I didn't have to know that I was the one to make the decision of his mortality just because I couldn't afford it. Rumi is happy and thriving today, I'm glad I had the opportunity to save his life
You are literally the best pet owner ever! Like I get all the info for taking care of my geckos and hedgehogs and snakes from you and they have lived for about 3 years now with no problems so don’t listen to those haters! And listed to the lovers!
I had a bunny, he was called bambi he used to kiss you and loved to cuddle he was happy and next day i woke up he was not well he was trying to get up but he fell down over and over again he gave up we ran to the vet and i was holding him in my hands he died the second we got to the vet 😔😓its been almost 3 years since he died but i still cant get over it😭
meow16 when I was about 6 My mum texted my big sister saying that we had a surprise present When my mum got home, she had a baby bunny, and we named the bunny ruby, my mum said she found ruby in the of the road, so she picked ruby up, me and my sister got so exited, we got a cage and padded it with clothing, ruby the bunny only lasted 10 mins with us, she started hitting her small head on the side of the cage, bc she was a shock, and after she hit her head, she didn't move, so we took her outa the cage, and she didn't do anything, so we built her a little grave, but we didn't want to put her under ground, so instead we put her in her cage beside the grave, the next day, she was gone, no blood left at all, we thought it was the cats, but they didn't have any sign of blood on them, when we ask about if they killed a mouse, they leave, we asked about ruby to the cats, they didn't leave, I hope ruby is still alive and well, but if she isn't, then, we will never forget her
meow16 we had a puppy for 2 months she was just a baby. Happy, wild, sweet. She got parvovirus and my parents tried to nurse her back to health though the situation of my brother's birthday going on. She just got worse really early in the morning my parents woke up and saw that there was blood in her stool and rushed her to the vet hospital. I heard them wake me up and I never wake up late at night by little noises so I knew something was up. She stayed in the hospital for 2 days then I visited her. She looked bad but I still had hope for her... the next day was Monday I think and we went to school really depressed and deep down I knew she was gone. My grandma and my mom were there to pick us up from high school. They told us that Sophie looked so terrible and the vet said the best thing to do was to put her down but they still offered more days to treat her but that was already thousands of money spent already.. so they put her down. They said she wasn't alone that grandma and mom were there but I felt betrayed. I wanted to be there I wanted her ashes I wanted to hold her one last time. And it hurts so much to this very day knowing that the last time I saw her I only got to touch her little paw... I just wanted to hold her one last time. It sucks too because months before we got her our dog of 4 years died from i don't know what she bleed everywhere and her guts came out her butt and no one was there when she died. I miss Perty I miss Sophie. Most of all I miss Luma she's another dog who died at 4 years old. It's sad that you come home saying "I'm going give Luma a bath" "we're going to take her walking" then just see she's gone. All the dogs got out because of this Labrador we had he just loved to open the gate for everyone leave. The lab and the other dog that got out was fine and that gave us hope that Luma was still alive. I stayed home to watch to see if she would get home. It felt like hours I would pace back and forth to the front door to the back yard door. My brother... in his lowest time I just... he burstef into the house and screamed "LUMA'S DEAD" I screamed, I blamed God I cussed out loud for the very first time. It changed me so much. I hated the Labrador for doing this. Luma got hit by a car. My dad got one of my old blankets and buried her in our yard.. I never saw her again. And guess what. She died after my parents anniversary then the next day was my cousin's birthday.. how could 2 happy events have such a horrible event happen in between. I mean I didn't see her after the dinner my mom and dad had. And in the morning I don't even remember seeing her either. But she was there after my surgery. She was there when I needed love and I wasn't there they they found her that hurts a lot. I can't stop thinking about them. And I'm crying so much right now because I loved them so much. We have a new dog after so long. She is okay. She was on death row when we adopted her. Nobody wanted her I guess, but I can't love her like I loved the others but I'm trying to care for her as long as she's here. (Her name is Starry it's kinda sad because I almost call her Sophie every time because she acts like a fusion of Perty and Sophie it's really weird but she likes to cuddle like Luma... Starry confuses me but I still like her)
SuperSonic64 I honestly don't know why your story has only three likes, but I think it is amazing how you are even okay with having a dog again. I don't even know you, at all, and I'm so proud of you for the way you dealt with all that happened. And I hope you have a lot of fun with your new dog
meow16 a few yrs ago 5 maybe? I was at family's house and there were baby barn swallows that fell out of there nest and stray cats so i couldnt just stand by watching them get killed so i caught 6 of em 1 of them are dog killed the other one died in a car and then at my house we had cats.. It was winter... So my mom said they had to stay in the doorway they froze to deat ;(
I was 7 and really wanted a dog desperately because I saw my friends had a beautiful cocker spaniel. I begged my mom every day and finally one day she decided to take me to get a dog from some person she knew that had young golden retrievers mixed with labrador. We went to pick it up and I can remember how excited I was that day I remember crying when I got to pet the dog and get in the car with it. I than named it Candy, and she was the sweetest dog ever. She never barked at anyone or even bit. I remember we had rat problems and that my grandma had rat poison, I didn't think anything of it at the time and didn't know the potential danger. I was at school and I than just remember getting out of school and seeing my mom standing there waiting for me with a worried expression and she than took me to the car and told me what happened.. My grandma had put the rat poison on some small pieces of bread for the rats, but instead my dog Candy got to it first and ate it.. We rushed to the vet where Candy was and I just remember seeing vets around her and her throwing up everywhere. Than they let me see her for the last time and took her into another room. And I just have the memory burned into my brain when the Vet came out and told me she was gone.. I love dogs but I will never get one again, it feels like loosing a family member. And I'm just crying like crazy right now.
When my girl peanut died it wasn't the death that hurt, it was the force feeding & trying to help her but not succeeding. It tore my heart up because as her "mother" I wanted to make everything better.
I know... force feeding is awful. I had to force feed birds, and sometimes it killed them...but they would be dead otherwhise too (with birds, if they swallow from the wrong side it goes in their lungs and they die from an aweful death...) I also had to amputate one to save his life, it's the worst thing ever. (The bird was living with his colony in a huge cage outside, and this one got a hair entangeled around his foot, saw it when it was too late, the foot was starting to rot...) The bird lived without his foot, but man... Doing this without anesthetics (you don't have another choice with birds so small) was aweful.
Kelly Oreos I feel your pain. A few years ago, my moms shitzu, Jack, was dying of cancer, and a few days before it happened she took off with her sister because she couldn't deal with it. My dad hated Jack, and just put him outside in the cold to die alone because he was crying so loudly and my dad didn't want to pay to euthanize him. I brought him into my room, and had to force feed and water him for two days. Eventually I crushed up some pain pills and force fed him that to take his pain away. I was like 15, it was the hardest thing Ive ever had to do.
that must be really hard. im sorry for your loss. my mom just bought a hedgehog, but she knows nothing about them, she didn't do her research, she just thinks they look cool. i honestly feel bad for it. I really hope it doesn't get sick and die like all the other pets she impulse buys.
Tyjo'sBootyIsThicc You should really try and do something about your mother. It's animal cruelty to buy pets and not care for them properly. No animal should be in her care.
I lost my ferret recently and it's been so painful. We love our animals like they're our babies. They're our pride and joy. I'm so sorry for your consistant losses. I cant imagine how hard it must've been. Keep your head up, hun
My guinea pig died of old age a month and a half ago, I had her for five years and she was MY first real pet that I didn't have to share. She was so important to me, and I understand the sadness losing a pet can bring. I got her when I was eight so she took up a large part of my life and I will always love her, wether with me in person or in spirit. Best wishes to you, hope you're doing alright.
A week ago my 4 year old pet hedgehog Sami passed away due to WHS and it was devastating... When it happened I blamed myself that maybe it was my fault.. but after a watching this and after a week of thinking it over I know there was nothing I could have done. I don't plan on getting any hedgehog any time soon because I'm so afraid of going through that again. But thank you Taylor for this video in particular because I know is a hard video to make but, now after seeing it I know I'm not alone so thank you for that.
Awh....the intro! Why the.....do bad things always happen to lovely great people!!?! Damn it! I love Hegdehogs, but I didn't know they die very fast! I hope I can make you happy by giving you a like on the video! Hug...hug....! LIKE IF YOU AGREE! _Keep up the good work Taylor Nicole!_ *Thumbs up!*
Bad things happen to the bad people too, you just don't see it that much because all of them get hate as soon as they're seen, making them NOT want to be seen..... But there are many Brave ones out there on UA-cam.....
I had a sad death experience with my snake hat died recently. Please for any one who is thinking about getting a pet from petsmart or PETCO don't do it, because I did research after my pet died, and pets there are usually sick and aren't taken care of well. So I got her on my birthday and loved her so much the day I got her but the problem was that she hadn't eaten at all. We tried to feed her for 3 months and she never ate. We found out the store had sold us a sick snake and snake died a few days ago.I have been crying for a while now and I really loved her😭💕
I got my hedgehog Benny from a pretty shady breeder. He only lived about 2 and a half years. Benny was extremely healthy but within a few days he got a cancerous tumor in his mouth and he couldn't chew or swallow anything because of it. I had to put him down, it was the most difficult thing I've ever had to do. I still miss him.
my family has had to put down 4 dogs out of 7 dogs. 1 truly was a jerk the other 3 where nice not really angry or anything. 1 bit my older sister after she shoved him under a blanket and hugged him. 2/3 was named Rocco and I absolutely loved him but he was a very pack kinda dog who in his sweet black fur covered head went Dad=pack leader me=2nd in line and the son(me)= 3rd in line. and so Rocco put his jaws around my neck. it wasn't him trying to kill me or hurt me in any way just him showing dominance over me. My parents didn't take it too well and had him put down. Which I didn't know about since I absolutely loved him even after him biting me. So they told me that they put him on a farm with one of my dads coworkers and that already he was doing great and was happy with this old dude and his wife. My dad let slip on the weekend of July 4th wall him and I were up camping at Griswalt. The last dog was Sadie she was more my moms then anyone else's. I didn't care too much about her but she was still you know a family pet that we all care about. None of our animals really died of old age or disease. the 2nd dog as a family that we had was given away because we had to move. Jasper a black lab which we still have and Oakley whom I also love is with another person because after my parents divorce 3 years ago my mom didn't want the dogs so my dad got them. and at the time it was Jasper the young silly lab and Oakley who loved fetch and would throw the toy at you if you didn't play. (it was very cute!) he was a yellow lab very much like a barrel of puppy love and muscle. But when my dad sold the large house that we had and moved into a smaller one the two dogs didn't really have a lot of space so they where kept mainly outside since my dad worked from really early too really late so the time came when we (dad and i) realized that Oakley and his shedding really triggered our asthmatic allergies so we actually gave too a good friend of y dad's and I've gone to see him a couple times since then. Jasper is still here and just Like Oakley He throws the toy at you but when he does it he looses his balance and falls ! :P
My hope is that everyone thats thinking of getting a hedgehog could watch this video. PLEASE share this as much as possible. Thanks so much for posting Taylor, your a great pet mom. :)
Its okay to cry.You have to express your feelings and all those haters are very rude and just dont listen to them.But its okay.I'm the same way of crying.I don't really cry I just keep it to myself.But I realized that its okay to cry.But this is a really sad story.
I feel your pain about losing a pet you loved so much. My rabbit was two years old and he was a male and his name was Gregory I got him at a junior. And so he breaded with my sisters rabbits. And he devolved 2 ear infections. We had him taking pills and I had to hand feed him. I kept thinking the whole time this is it. He’s gone... Shortly after his kids (There were 4) were born and we showed them to him. One of them looks exactly like him 😭. A couple months after they were born he died... He died so peacefully and now he watching over his kids from above. One of his kids live inside of his old cage to this day....
people can be so cruel. for some reason whenever something tragic happens the first thing the public does is look for someone to blame. i see it everywhere (with people or animals) im sorry you've had such bad hedgie luck. anyone who regularly watches your videos can see how passionate you are about keeping your animals the best way you can.
I have a sad story too. When our cats had kittens (we could barely afford to keep them, so we couldnt spay Sophie and Belle) we would keep the runts. Sophie's first litter was about the same time as Belle's and Shadow would often play with his cousins and we didn't think much of it. Tigger and Two-face are the ones we kept. Two-face was the runt and my dad just couldn't see tigger go. Two grew up into a beautiful cat, bright silky fur, she was just so pretty. But, she was sick. We couldn't afford to take her to the vet, so we gave her the best even tho I know she was hurting. She was still a baby, less then 4 years old when she died. We were all so sad. We buried her next to her grandma and grandpa (unrelated). All of the cats would sit near them and cry. Two-face, Cassidy, and Spastic were beloved and I miss them so much. Rest in peace, Two-face. Rest in peace Cassidy and rest in peace Spastic.
I've had two hedgehogs who died without a reson. Our firs, Fiona, died in my arms on the way to the hospital. We think she was stuffed up because she had a bump on her stomach and the last hour she looked like she was in pain, so it was for the best. Our second hedgehog, Lillemor, we have no idea what happened. She just one day stopped eating and we gave her wet for and try to force her to eat but nothing really happened. The vets didn't do much either. And then about 3-4 days after the vet meeting I found her laying lifeless besides her food. Now I have a new little prince and he seems so healthy, but I am so scared that I'm gonna find him dead at any time. He is only about 1,5 years old right now so I hope he will live 5 years at least.
Make sure to get some blood tests for Kovu yearly or every 6 months, to make sure his kidneys are good. Maybe/hopefully they'll be able to notice if he starts getting into Kidney failure (if I remember correctly you only start seeing symptoms of kidney failure at a quite high percentage. I think it was close to 60% of a kidney needs to stop working to show outwards symptoms, so that's why it might have felt super quick)
I've had a few geckos, they were Mediterranean House geckos, their names were Baby and Harley, the first one, Baby, had passed away because of an unknown cause, to this day, I thought it was because I never took care of her good enough, but it was most likely, because she was roaming alone by herself and she was too young to live on her own, she had a birth deformity that caused her to not to live as long as she should have, so that means we gave her a longer life than she would have in the wild. Harley had also passed away, he was much older than Baby was, he was more of an adult or an elder, he most likely had passed because of old age, we fed him daily and gave him surplus amounts of water, he had a pool of water that I cleaned daily to prevent contamination, he was warmed during the winter so he wouldn't die from hypothermia. Both Baby and Harley's deaths made me very depressed but Baby's got me the hardest because I watched her die in my hands as I cried and said goodbye to her, it hurt me so bad that I didn't draw at all for a few days, we buried her in our backyard and I left a seashell near where we had laid her to rest. I don't want my pet, Pugsley, to die either, she's a rescue pug who was over bred, 9 times in 7 years, and mostly starved, we've had her for almost 4 years, since December 23, 2014, she'll be 11 by then, luckily, what we thought was Cancer, was only a cyst and I glad she's happy now. All in all, if you want a pet, rescues may be not the healthiest looking choice, but they'll thank you for every second you decided they were they one, their always loyal and appreciate every moment they have with you.
The Rumproast i cried reading this, i have a gecko named newt and if this happened to her idk what i would do, its very sad to hear when pets die, all dogs i have had except my puppy have been recues, rescuing is also something i want to professionally do as i grow older i have rescued birds, dogs, cats, kittens, and one time a baby squirell
The Rumproast I had a shizu cross we don't know what with but he was a rescue and he got diabetes and we were giving him shots twice a day and they he got sick and combined with the diabetes it was too much and he died during the night what hit me the worst was when my cat went around the house looking for him to play and just writing this makes me sad we also buried him in the garden beside about 5 baby rabbits who died of shock from a dog who broke into the garden 1 rabbit who died of an Injury and 1 cocatoo who died of old age
My first hedgehog who was named Bonita sadly passed at 5 it was a horrible death, when she was younger she was very healthy and active, she was the kindest hedgehog I've ever known, but when she hit her 5th birthday things went downhill. I decided to give her a bath and in doing so found a lump on her throat which turned out to be a tumor, she was quite strong and we tried treatments but nothing worked I knew she would pass soon but she stayed alive for weeks on end which was super surprising since the tumor spread to her legs and stomach, making it so she couldn't walk. on her last days her left ear starting bleeding profusely. She died unhealthy which broke my heart. It wasn't because she had no room to move because we made a very large cage for her with perfect heat and everything. I'm so sorry about your hedgehogs. I know how heart breaking it can be to lose a pet.
My hamster is sick (I think) but my mom doesn't have enough money to pay for the vet. My hamster meant the world to me, and I can see him suffering. He Comforted me when I was sad.I hold him in my arms everyday and it breaks my heart to see him. My mom won't let me do anything (take home to the vet) and I hurts me so much, I can tell his time is short. When he's gone how can I move on?
Hammy Ham at least you know that he died happy and loved. honestly, once an animal becomes terminal the only thing you can do is keep it warm and happy in it's final hours. sorry for your loss, though, i know how hard it is to lose a pet. it's almost like losing a child.
Hammy Ham hey, if you are over 16 and have good credit, get a credit card. My snake had gotten mouth rod and i just lost my job. So, i went and got a credit card. Once i work again, i pay it off and cancel it. Now i put $50 a week away in a saving account just in case any of my animals ever get sick and i don't have the money. I am also sorry and pray he make it.
I've missed you so much!!! I hope you're okay! Put you and yourself first okay??? No one can be mad about your choices when it comes to your life. Stay positive lady! Love you so much 💖💖
Bless you! I had a fish and his name was Neptune. I had him for five years and I had a female fish named Leopard and they were best friends. Two years later I got two more fish named Quartz and Tiger. They all lived together for two years until leopard got to old and passed away. Quartz , Tiger and Neptune lived together but one day Neptunes dorsal fin started to go pink ( btw Neptune is all white) and then red. I started giving medicine and the red went away but took half of his fin with it. The wound around it healed but his bones were still visible. Later on he went down to the cave where leopard died. Of course I was concerned and took close eye. It was a couple of days before he died that Tiger and Quartz started chasing him and I immidetly took action. I scooped Neptune out and put him in a large bowl filled with clean tank water where he could feel safe. I put a cloth over the bowl because I had a cat. I would try to feed Neptune but he just wouldn't eat. I would sit with him and on his last day of life I told him that I was sorry. He passed away in the same cave that Leopard passed in. I now have two fake fish plants resembling their presence in the tank with Tiger and Quartz. Rip my beautiful Leopard Rip my friendly Neptune I miss you. ❤ ( Please no hate, I love my animals and still have my two young fish today, Tiger and Quartz. I also have a young snake named Shardz and a beautiful tortoiseshell pollydactyl cat named Pink. Did I mention I also have a 6 month old tortoise named Tiddles?)
I had a Betta fish named micheal and I never realized how much I liked that fish until after I had him for 5 months. My mom realized that I never really paid attention to it, so she gave it to a classmate (I was in kindergarten)that’s why the story is stupid) and I never noticed until a year later, that the fish was GONE. I never saw that fish again.
I had a leopard geko that was so sweet and calm and his name was haku and I got another leopard geko named sen and once I put sen and haku next to each other haku wouldent move and he made this sound so I automatically told my mom and a few days later we found out haku was a girl (and sen is a boy)so me and my mom thought he was pregnant so my mom went (I went to school)I had a early dessmisel and my mom was crying I said what's wrong and she said haku (she had haku in a cage on her lap) has 3 more days to live after the three days we went to the vet and haku was climbing (my arms were criscrosed ) up my arm and curled up like he knew what was gonna happen to him but he was still smiling and then the docters took him away from me. Btw he wasn't eating and I cry about it every night he's still in my freezer to this day. But don't worry I still have sen and a new lizard named kodama! r.i.p haku da sweet sweet lizard that never bitten enyone but kissed
Your a total sweet heart and I'm sorry for your loss you see to take great care of your animals and obviously love them to the fullest so it truly is sad to see things like this happen
Honestly, I'm inspired seeing she can take care of SOO many animals. I have 2 bunnies and I ♡ them. When I get older (a few years from now lol) I hope to get a few more animals. Bearded Dragons, squirrels, ect. ♡♡♡
If you get a beardie, make sure to get it from a breeder-NOT A PET SHOP. I got mine from a chain pet shop, and they did disclose that she was the last one they had and she was taken in back because she wasn't eating as good as the others and they were hand feeding her, and I decided to take her. 2 years later, and I do still have her, but we suspected she was partly blind, so we took her to a reptile shop/breeder who looked at her and agreed. She's completely blind in her left eye and probably partly blind in her right eye, so she can't actually catch bugs on her own. I still love her and wouldn't trade her for the world, but she is a huge commitment, so I just can't recommend chain pet shops.
I feel your pain, I lost 2 baby turtles in less than 4 months😞 I bought them from the same place and they said they would probably live 40 years. I'm so sorry about piper😭😭 Rip Piper❤️
Nalas spirit was in Piper, the happiest spirit... and whoever sold Piper to you... took Nalas second chance at life...😢😢😭😭 I bet that just made you cry, but when your are ready find Nala, and take good care of her... give her back all those years that were stolen.
I had a hedgehog..... Her name was Ellie.. She died of cancer. Why is cancer taking all of our love ones! This video reminded me for her... And made me cry... I'm so sorry for you Taylor.. God Bless Us All....
R2D2Misty RIP all hedgehogs that have all died I'm sorry 😭😭😭😭they r all watching u in heaven they r still in ur heart. 💜💛💚💙 I'm sorry Taylor and everybody else who has been through this
this happened to my dog. She was born with something wrong with a spinal disc, that shows early symptoms at around age 7. We noticed these symptoms (whining randomly, going to one specific spot over and over) and took her to the emergency vets. They told us there that she had diabetes and arthritis. Both of which, was false. The medication she took for that made her whole condition worse, so we paid over £1000 to get her into surgery, to see what was wrong. They found the problem, but because of the late diagnosis, she passed away during recovery. If the vet had experienced staff, she could have survived with one scar. But she died because of one man. And it still has messed me up completely to this day. I feel you girl, love you x
I know this was over a year ago but I'm so sorry for your loss. Its so hard to lose a pet-child. I wanted to get a hedgehog but now you have me rethinking that. Your story had me bawling, I cant stand to see people hurting. But you are a great mama and they were very lucky to have you and your love!
The saddest story of one of my pets, I had a dwarf hamster (white with a grey stripe on her back) and she was called Honey, I love her, she was my first pet and everyday after school I held her and she was so cute and I thought she would live a long time, my sister had a dwarf hamster too (brown with a. Black stripe on her back) and she was called poppy and the bad thing was they where both girls and when we got them we decided to put them in the same cage and one night my parents heard them fighting and they got them separated (honey got the better cage and poppy got another) and when they separated them they found that poppy had bitten honey and she was bleeding. In a few weeks honey started getting red lumps on her head, legs and face and back, then in a few weeks she started getting worse, and then...on Valentine’s Day that year, I woke up all exited to see her and give her a hug, and she was lying there in her cage, dead and I started screaming and crying and my parents gave me a hug but I was so sad about her, we buried her and I gave her a little coffin, I loved her and missed her but I moved on, I still think of her but I have a. Dog now and he is lovely and I love him but in my heart I will still love my little honey 💜🐹
I feel your pain, literally. Riley (girl hedgehog) died today mid-day from what i think was ear infection or WHS or both, because she showed all signs of having an ear infection because she was shaking, wobbling, scratching and she was paralysed, (WHS signs) and since she was my first hedgehog, i was doing some research about hibernating, and some side effects that would cause death during hibernation, then this came up; "THERE ARE ACTUALLY A FEW WAYS YOU CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HIBERNATING HEDGEHOG AND A DEAD ONE. WHEN A HEDGEHOG HIBERNATES, IT BALLS UP INTO A TIGHT BALL, SO IF IT'S LAID OUT FLAT THEN IT'S MOST LIKELY DEAD." After i read it, i glanced over at Riley, and I realized she wasn't curled up, moving or breathing, i did some research of ways and signs for illnesses, near death and possibilities of death, at first i thought it was a heart disease, (sudden death) but when i did more research, i found that she had the possibility of having WHS or ear infection, it was very unaccepted, because the day before and before that day, she was very energetic, curious, calm, adventurous, well fed and happy, then poof! dead :/
Dont be sad. It's not your fault, you tried to help her. At least you gave her the quality of life she deserved in the time she had.
Rebeca Chavez True
Rebeca Chavez true I cried
Rebeca Chavez yes!
Rebeca Chavez true
Rebeca Chavez yeah, it was the fault of the bloody ass person who sold you piper. R.I.P. Remember : the only cure for grief is to grieve. Never be sad about a loss, they are happy , you just cant see them 😊
This is rather heartbreaking but I am glad these hedgehogs got to have a good life by your side until their last day.

I would really like to share my experience.
About a year ago, I adopted a guinea pig named Syrup, and she was really healthy and as far as I knew, happy. She was young, too. After only a month, she stopped eating, so I took her to the vet. The vet said that Syrup’s teeth were growing inward. So every time she ate, she would stab her tongue with her teeth. We had to feed her through a syringe. Three days passed, and she died in the middle of the night. We all love our pets and we all know they’ll die one day.
Thank you for telling us about your hedgehogs and listening to my story as well.
Orchid _lava1011 thank you so much for saying that
;-; poor little syrup and i feel bad for you aswell, she is in gods care and i wish there was something we could do about it! also, the guy that sold you syrup probably knew about syrups condition.
Poor thing. I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I'm wondering if the name "Syrup" was given after she started having tooth problems, and could only be fed through a syringe (in what would be a "syrup-like" form) or it was purely a coincidence.
Vanilla Waffle I’m so sorry for that
Vanilla Waffle thank you and i am sorry
why do bad thing always happen to good people
Melody Jaramillo IKR
Same reason why we pick the prettiest flowers.
Melody Jaramillo I don't know
😢😢😢
It's Nat AMEN!
Shut down the man that's selling these sick hedgehogs. This man is causing these animals to suffer.
and their owners, too
Seriously
Shut them down
Shut them down shut them down shut them down!!!!! 😡😈
Agreed he's clearly an irresponsible breeder
"My eyes just went for a swim"😂😭😭Feel better Taylor
Talmari Turner so you're eyes gone out of the head and they were gone to the beach
Talmari Turner hahahahaha I read this just as she said it. xD
Sonic The Hedgehog That's not funny
Dude you made me cry!
Also i lost a hedgehog once,her name freeda and she was the nicest hedgehog ever and then we lost her.
She was only 2 and the most precious thing ever
I feel bad for you we had a dog.She was a Jack Russell her name was Stinky.She was pretty old.About in her teens or 20s.Any ways a few days before we went on vacation she was throwing up not eating or drinking that much and she was very sluggish.So I took a few pictures before we left.On our way home I fell asleep in the car.And my parents woke me up while we were in the neighborhood and sadly our dog passed away.We loved our dog she was so sweet and was so happy and entertaining.But if she saw someone she didn't know she would bark.Before she died she put her front paws on my uncle's legs took one last breath and died.We still don't know how she died but we think she either had heart worm or cancer but we don't know.But we got her ashes and she will always be remembered😭
IM really sorry to hear about Freeda. I have a hedgehog and she is the sweetest soul i have ever met in an animal in my life, we love her so much but she is dying. I am not sure how long she has left but there is apparently nothing we can do at this point. I don’t know how to deal with seeing her like this and the thought of losing her and I am really struggling with it.
"No I'm not crying, my eyes just went for a swim" me after I get my grades back..
Garfield lol inappropriate
LifeWithZ you are being a little loser because you are making fun of Taylor so don't watch her
Courtney Walters thanks ☺️
shut up little bitch it was obviously a joke
LifeWithZ lol
I feel your pain, we lost my baby girl Clementine to cancer, though she was a ferret she was my best friend, we discovered she had cancer after she passed, I hope nala, piper, and clem are all doing great, and are healthy on the rainbow bridge.
RecruitSwatGuy// CommandSwatGuy That's sad I'm sorry.
RecruitSwatGuy// CommandSwatGuy I'm so sorry
Thanks guys, I'm happy you guys understand, I'm sure Clem is too.
Omg my Leopard gecko is named clementine!!!
RecruitSwatGuy youre the sweetest person ive ever seen on the internet
I clicked on this video accepting the fact that Solara passed away but I was devastated to hear it was Piper
Right, it was so unexpected
Jesus, how can you hold yourself together in this video!? I would be bawling my eyes out..
Alyssa Delaney why would u ruin the video for me
Sally Guthrie I made a comment on a video expressing how I felt. You made the choice to look at the comments before you watched the video. I honestly don't understand why you are commenting on the fact that I "ruined" the video for you when the video is about a pet Taylor just lost. Could you find something else to comment on please? Preferably something about the video and a bit more empathetic.
Sally Guthrie she did not ruin it for u jus don't look at the comments before the video
“These aren’t tears... My eyes just went for a swim”
I’m also so sorry for your loss, I know the feeling of loss however I’ve never lost a hedgehog 🦔R.I.P. Nala (I also used to have a black cat named Nala)
🙏
I've already used all my tears I just lost my hedgehog
I used to have a crested gecko
I hate you this is not funny
It is so sad
I had a hedgehog, would never buy one again and I strongly discourage others!
I had a hedgehog, she was my best friend. After two years I had to put her down... Pet hedgehogs are such a unnatural and forced breed, they get sick very easily and knowledge about any treatment is very limited. Mine had neurological issues which is very common. We tried several treatments with my vet, mainly injections, many painful injections... After a few weeks of battling and crying and force-feeding and watching her starving and going crazy I had to end her suffering. Before getting her I was going to buy other one from other breeder, but two baby hedgehogs died.
rozbiuamsuoik Maybe the breeders in your area aren't the best?
they weren't from my area, I was searching in my whole country...
there are so many lonely cats, dogs, rabbits for adoption, please consider this while looking for a pet :)
rozbiuamsuoik I understand, I found my cat on the street. They make the best pets! But with things like hedgehogs they may have been surrendered/abandoned for illness or being too much to handle? Idk, I'm in Australia and that's the main reason for surrendering rodents.
I guess my point is that even though they are prone to sickness and don't live long, every moment you have them counts. Even if they cost a lot, caused a lot of pain, they caused so much joy and they knew love for the time they were in your home.
Sorry if it seems like I'm arguing with you!
me neither! I'm just sharing my point od view, it changed very much recently. It's about life of living and feeling creatures, so I think it's important to talk about it :)
(tl;dr: I strongly recommend everybody educating themselves as much as possible and visiting an animal shelter before making decisions what animal to get :) )
After loosing my hedgehog I knew I couldn't live without an animal. As a child we had a beautiful pure breed dog. After a lot of research I wanted to try adopting a dog from a shelter. I heard stories how it looks there, but it's nothing compared to reality... Visit in a dog shelter shattered me. We found a dog that suited our abilities and conditions. People did horrible things to her, she had very sad life, but she trusted us completely after a few days. Everybody that meets her says how beautiful and cheerful she is :) She really is a wonderful dog, beautiful, cute, loving, playful, very smart and soooo happy! Most, if not all, animals in shelters are perfectly fine and need just some love, time and home.
And of course, I love my hedgehog so much and my heart will never fully heal. And I still think they are very cute and amazing creatures, but now, knowing how it is with hedgehogs I would personally feel bad giving money to breeders so they can breed more of them. But everybody makes their own decisions and I don't want to judge anyone.
Don't worry you're not the only one crying
Ikr
Ha ha ha you are not crying
Ikr
Your the BEST pet owner and person there is don't worry it's not your fault and you shouldn't beat yourself up about it You tried your best and gave it a wonderful life :)
lol I got my hedgehog from the flea market (I KNOW NOT THE BEST PLACE) but I felt bad for this baby hedgehog so I decided to save him and now his name is Hercules and surprisingly they breed amazing hedgehogs I've had him for a while and he is as healthy and happy he could be.
Juan Blanco she is not the best pet owner but she is good
Tyrone 'The victim' Woodley she did not kill the pet it was sick please watch the full video and understand it she felt really bad if you got a pet which was sick before you bought it and after you bought it it died it does not mean you killed it... it simply means the previous owner was bad
Tyrone no she's not
EEBOR Lulz he didnt say she was a bad owner PREVIOUS
I have owned hedgehogs nearly all my life, and with the exception of two (one I took in because I knew she was weak and needed a loving home), all of my hedgehogs lived to be at least four. I had a hedgehog who lived to be 9 yrs old. In her old age, all her teeth fell out, her hind legs were stiff with arthritis, and she lost her vision, but she was still insisting on running in her wheel right up until her final few days! Whoever bred your three hedgehogs did a rotten job.
Also, who ever gave you a hard time about your crestie dropping it's tail knows nothing. One of my cresties dropped his tail because a cricket jumped on it. Some cresties are just high-strung and prone to panick.
Another thing, (adding to my already too long comment) if you know something's wrong and the vet won't listen, get a second opinion. My parrotlet was eggbound and the vet wouldn't even take x-rays because she looked and acted fine. I payed $30 for him to tell me I had a healthy bird, so I took her to a different vet and I was right. That vet saved my baby's life. I'm so grateful I didn't have to learn my lesson the hard way and I'm so sorry you're baby was victim to an arrogant vet who thinks he knows each individual animal better than their owner.
I guess what I'm trying to say in this long, ranty comment is, I have been there. I've encountered a lot of what you're talking about and I'm so sorry you have to go through all that.
Animal deaths are truly painful. I remember having my rabbit in a good cage inside and my dog was outside. And my dog was really nice to my bunny and all so I never worried. But when I went to WalMart and came back, my rabbits cage was outside and I asked my mom "why is it outside?" And she said that she left it there because it was making a mess. Then, I went out to check on my bunny and she wasn't in her cage. I found bits and pieces of her fur around my backyard and I followed it and found her dead body eaten out. I instantly blamed my dog because his stomach was full. It broke my heart because it was like having your son kill your daughter. I still have that dog and I have forgiven him, because it's been 4 years. I remember going to my rabbits grave every night to tell her everything that has happened to me that day and how my life has been and then tell her 'goodnight' So I feel your pain of an animals death. R.I.P Piper
Hamilton Trash sorry for that.so sad
Hamilton Trash omg that made me cry I'm so sorry!!!
blame your mom, why the heck did she think it was a good idea
Hamilton Trash well that's just what dogs do its kinda your mom's fault because she could have waited for you so you could make a place for her to stay
Hamilton Trash I just came back from my vacation and a mink got into my rabbits cage and killed them both , I feel for you ❤️
Anyone who doesn’t shed tears over a lost pet shouldn’t have pets at all, I took a hedgehog in from someone who ‘got bored’ with him and even though I’ve only had him for a few months I would be in pieces without him, just hearing that these things are even possible makes me start to panic. Hedgehogs have such personality and can really show love if you earn it.
i agree. i had a hamster named zeus and when he started to suddenly get really sick i drove him to the emergency vet in the middle of a snow storm at 11pm (actually it was a dog and cat clinic but they had a vet there who had experience with hamsters and said i could bring him in) to get him care. after finding out what was wrong with him i was instructed to take him to a vet that could give hamster medication so i did. i paid over $500 in vet bills and medication and syringe fed him and made him as comfortable as possible up until the end. everyone asked me why i would go all out like that for a hamster cause "its not like its a dog or a cat". i can't understand the logic in that cause he was still living creature and the friendliest hamster ever (never bit anyone). no one should ever get a pet they aren't willing to go all out for!
QueenBea Lmao I go into tears over other people’s lost animals I find and have to give back
Even though i lost my dog a few years ago I WONT CRY
crying is embarrasing and its negative ●~●
And i try to stay positive
QueenBea I don’t agree I lost my hamster a few weeks ago and I didn’t cry but I loved him so so much😢 I teared up but not actually crying
@cherrykarma5181 wow. You must have a lot of damaged accumulated.. let it out bud
Don't blame yourself babe. I've had so many bunnies. I normally would rescue "defected" ones that were on a kill list so naturally I lost a few. It's hard and I would always blame myself even though there was really nothing I could do. All you can do is know you gave them the best life possible and all the love they needed. All the love to you and your animal babies ❤️
😟😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢im vare sore

CoriGowins I lost something very important to me too I lost but you hermit crabs I lost my aunt I never met like a human ant like she lives in a different country and I never met her and never got to talk to her she ever gave me was a pair of pants and I missed your funeral because it wasn't there and she died of cancer and eye feels very bad for your hamster but I know how it feels like to lose a pet because I lost my most valuable pie ever had my fish he lasted 1 year I mean two years and when I heard that he was dead when I got that message I couldn't believe it we were together since I was 8 I mean 7 and now I'm eight and I don't want to lose my pets but I know that nobody lives forever
Rosanna Pragg im tooooooo
Well since we are all on the topic, I suppose I can share my story too. My hedgehog's name was Kimchi, one of the sweetest little creatures I've ever come to know. She was so welcoming and precious, I just adored her. She would actually climb out of her cage whenever we approached because she was excited to come out and explore. But for some reason, she went from climbing and running around to completely lethargic and gagging. She was cold, which has happened before but we warmed her up. She was only two months old, and she died later that night. It's one of the most painful experiences you can go through, and the fact she was just a baby I mean, can it get any worse? Either way, we bought her from this breeder, she seemed trustworthy and said she was certified, but you can never know the real conditions these animals are bred. I would love to get another spikey friend in the future, its just so hard to trust people these days.
This is entirely on the breeder. If you feel like you want to try to get another hedgie in the future, look for a licensed breeder. A good breeder will have a lifetime warranty against WHS and at least a year guarantee against cancer - they're trying to make strains that are cancer-resistant, but of course 0 cancer is an impossible result for any animal. The breeder who gave you Solara sounds like a good egg since she was completely upfront about the possibilities for the specific animal she was selling you. Other things to look for are whether they have really good care information on their website, and whether or not they have a policy for unwanted animals - it seems like reputable breeders will ask the people who don't want their hedgies anymore to return them to the breeder because they are selective about the homes they go to. Some breeders even run hedgehog rescues!
My favorite in my state is called Storybook Hedgehogs. If you ever want to reach out to them, they might be able to recommend trustworthy breeders in your region so you can just love the little guys without this kind of heartbreak. I'm so sorry about Piper. This is incredibly sad - please know that you did everything you could and you were let down by both the exotic pet guy and the first vet. Not your fault.
(yes I liked my own comment, I'm not normally this vain but this is really important info for anyone who might be thinking about getting a hedgie! Do your research first).
marszenka I totally agree
marszenka super true boy or guuurrrlll
marszenka
yah that happen wih my puppy :/ she died a cupple mounths old.. she had a disease that the breeder never told us about we went 2 the doc she said theres nothing they can do about it... later I saw her foaming out of her mouth I was crying I couldn't do anything about it and she died..
You are one of the BEST animal care givers ever and all of your true subs know that you never NEGLECT any of your animals.
I just found you. It seems like you are a responsible pet owner and rescuer. Your hedgie is obviously happy and confident (he’s open and interacting). Although I’m sure some of the negative comments you receive are from people who’s heart is hurting for you, the way they are being worded is inappropriate. I’m sorry.
I wish I had a one ps sorry for your loss
rubymimosa lol what
Anastazja Lopes what the heck do you mean
Anastazja Lopes its only true and you're just mad you dissent say thhaat
R.I.P piper and nala you will always be in our hearts and we will never forget you.
At least you have those hedgehogs in your heart
Are!
Lexi Lily pad that's so nice aww
💗
There in everyone's hearts
The fact that you put yourself through this just for the joy of animals and giving them a good home you have such an amazing heart don't feel bad babe you are such a good mommy to all those babies.
It's ok to cry Taylor, I'm a fully grown man who cried watching this. You gotta let yourself feel what you have to feel😥. I'm with you hun❤️❤️

Why would anyone hate you for that. I never get hate and I know how you feel because I was through the same thing.
One time I went to a Flee Market and I connected to this turtle, I begged to get and I got it. About a week after it died, I cried so hard, but now he's buried in my yard, laying on his rock sunbathing, swimming, and playing in the colorful rocks in the sky.
Did you know how to take care of it? they're supposed to live 20 to 50 years....
+miss dxckie I did everything I was supposed to do. The person I got it from probably didn't take care of it.
I got 2 Turtles There Cool There Getting A Bit Older 8 And 3
Turtles can live up to 100 years or more but some only 50 to 20
Maybe it was because you got it from a flee market, you did all you could and that's okay.
i know this comment will be super long but i just have to get this off my chest.. i tried so hard not to cry while watching this but still ended up crying pretty much throughout the entire video.. you are such an amazing person and pretty much the best pet owner that i know of and it is so unfair that this happened to you. my heart just broke into a million pieces when you said that Piper passed away. and what is even worse is that people are actually trying to blame her sickness on you. that just makes me so sad. you are such a strong person for going through all this and please don't ever let those stupid hate comments get to you because you really take such good care of your animals it is literally impossible for them get harmed in any sort of way because of something you did. you devote your entire life to these beautiful animals and i respect you so much for that. not only do you take amazing care of your animals you even try to make sure other people do the same by making these videos. if that doesn't make you the best pet owner than i don't know what does. so please keep doing what you are doing because you are making such a difference for pets all over the world and i love you so much for that!
rest in peace Piper ❤
maja12maja this comment right here...it got me crying again✨
Alexa Millan aww ❤
You cant be held responsible for bad breeding, but you gave that wee chogs the best care and love in their short lives they could ever have, You made a Scotmans eyes leak.
m1nt3a are you a vegetarian?
m1nt3a be quiet. stop fam she literally says that in the video
Sasha Little let the ignorant ones ask
WEE CHOG
I love this word and I'm calling all my friends wee chogs now
R.I.P my Hedgehog too
You gave your all for these animals you have them the best life they could ever have. You are so great. My cat was twelve and she got cancer. I had to take her to the vet and I sobbed and sobbed and blamed myself for her getting sick but I soon realized that I couldn’t control it you are so good and so kind to your animals and they truly do love you and all you do for them!
you're an amazing girl who cares about her animals. don't ever let someone tell you are not. I myself, am an animal lover and want to adopt every single animal who needs a loving home, I am going into animal rescue (law enforcement) to rescue animals and find them amazing, caring homes. I just subscribed to you and I already love you!

I'm not crying!
Someone put tears on my pillow!
With exotic pets sometimes these types of things just happen. At least you gave them the best you could. when I used to sell Hedgehogs at my shop I saw a lot of people who didn't care for them properly just because they didn't want to spend the money. Honestly, I even treat my breeder roaches as pets so it doesn't matter the species, they should all be treated great no matter what. It's not like they have a choice being in our care. With that said, some exotic pets are just known to come with a lot of issues. The hedgehogs really should be setup in a large enclosure similar to what they'd have in the wild but a lot of pet stores sell them like hamsters. That's a whole other topic though! Sorry you had to deal with this and I hope that your heart can heal soon from it. I would suggest finding reputable breeders from here on out. A lot of times you will see genetic issues from inbreeding with people who don't fully know about genetics while breeding...
Too looong
You aré amazing
True..❤

LONG SUPPORTIVE POST WARNING!
I just want to say that anyone who takes the time to really watch your videos can't NOT see how taking care of your animals is your passion and full-time job. The difference between you and other pet care UA-camrs is how you care for them. You have more than comfortable enclosures for them, the best food and equipment. You give them more than love, but the best home they could ask for. Your knowledge on each of your animals and what they need is more than most owners have. (It has inspired me to learn all I can about my animals!) Nala and Piper would have ended up dying just like they did recently in another home. They would have had the same symptoms...but they would have been with another hog parent who may not have been as educated as you about animals or who may not have had the resources to pay for the medicine. (So many people think that if they can afford the animal and it's enclosure then that's enough) They may have been with someone who may not have taken the time to hand feed them and give them medicine multiple times a day. I'm new to the animal care side of youtube, but Taylor, you are so educated on your animals and make sure you are able to provide for them if the worst happens. You make sure you are able to give them the best care they can have. Nala and Piper are the luckiest hedgehogs to have had your care at the end of their life because, I imagine that if they were in another home, they would have been having the exact same symptoms but would have suffered alone until they passed. You gave them they happiest life they could have asked for, and I'm not just saying that. Why do you think you have so many subscribers in such a short amount of time? Because we all see how not only do you give the so much love, but you take the time to understand what the animal needs, what they will need in the future, what the animal likes and doesn't, and the best brands and best products. You are a phenomenal animal keeper and because of that, watching you take care of all of your happy animals gives us viewers such a warm and fuzzy feeling of peace. It makes me so happy to know that they are being cared for in a way that so many animals aren't. I'm sending so much love your way and I thank you for giving your animals an amazing life. Just like that quote says, they may be a part of your life, but you are their entire life...and their entire life was filled with so much love and quality care.
Holy cow that was really long! I got a little carried away. You're too amazing I couldn't help it! ;)
Chelsea Kay whoa u just did a 10 page assignment
Chelsea Kay that was very nice
Chelsea Kay that was so touching to read I was going to write a 10 page essay but I thought it would be to long. You told all those haters of!!
A few years ago this kitten just ran into my house without even asking. He was very friendly and sweet, so I let him stay. I fed him and watered him then took him to the vet.
He has some parasites but other than that he checked out as perfectly healthy.
My neighbor said someone had abandoned a bunch of cats in a little stand of woods near my house the week before.
He was one of the sweetest, friendliest cats I'd ever seen.Then several months later (just long enough to let myself get really attached, on a Friday he had an bathroom accident. He'd been really good with litter training to this point (he was STRICTLY an inside cat, and never seemed to want to go outside again anyway) so it was kind of weird, but I cleaned it up, but by Saturday night he started seeming to be a bit sick. By Sunday I decided I'd take him to the vet the next day, but he passed away Sunday night.
According to the vet he had some kind of feline disease that is always fatal and begins with loss of bathroom control. It really was quite devastating because I liked him so much.
Sometimes animals just die, and there is nothing you can do about it.
Eric Taylor im sorry for your loss 😢 try to stay happy and think postive 😀
I know how you feel. My cat Sushi died in 2016. Long story short, he had a tumor when he was a kitten so, he died at age 10.
i diskliked because this is too sad for me :,( i love animals so much
Eric Taylor why are you watering your hedgehog 🤷♀️
I’m so so sorry about Nala! I love hedgehogs so, so, so much. Oh Piper! 😓😓 that is so scary.... it’s ok... it’s ok to cry.
Kawaii Potato um...what?
I was just saying I feel really bad for taylor
Delaney Johnson what’s wrong?
_At Zero Blank_ Who the heck is Piper? Its Taylor!
I just wanted to say, I'm sorry for your loss(es) and all the heartache that came along with it.. I have been there, not with a hedgehog, but I've been there.. and watching this video of you talking about your experience really brought back those feelings for me. There's really no other words for it.. I just know how you felt and wanted to say I'm sorry :'( Just keep loving your other pets, you're a great pet mamma
I'm so sorry for your loss. The passion you have for your animals is undeniable, and the fact that you give them the best life and all the love they could dream of makes their lives as perfect for them as they could be. Thank you for sharing this even though it was emotional for you, you're still educating others. May Piper rest in peace
I'm so sorry for you loss babe 😢
It sucks when a pet passes away
It's like a part of your family has left.
Chin up gorgeous
At least you can help educate other people about these things. Even though something bad has happened, something good can come of it.
Keep making videos! I love your content ☺🦄🌈
Oh my gosh you ae so nice I'm sure that cheered her right up :) :D
Crafting and Fun! Aw thank you!!
I hope so ☺
Jessika Wolfe it's so true I'd had to pass for that like 1000 times
I lost my dog pharaoh last year I cried so hard and felt so bad because I know he was in so much pain but you have to look at it as you gave them the best life that you could and that's what matters ❣
I at the moment is not allowed to have anymore pets. But both my cats were the runts. I have noticed many people just abandon or choose not to have runts. Both of my cats are healthy and happy. I like to have the runts or animals that people will choose against. I hate it when people choose not to have an animal because of its looks or its medical issues. I have a habbit to love all the animals I see.
All my animals are rescued. We've taken in baby animals who's mom died and we'd hand feed them until weened.
I found my cat in my neighborhood and i tried to take care of her but she didnt make it sadly..
Totally agree abt looks but u gotta understand taking in an animals w special needs is way more of a responsibility (financially & I’m terms of effort/time to care for them) than healthy animals so it’s not fair to berate ppl for understanding their limitations, better than having all the best intentions in the world but taking in an animal u don’t have the resources to care for & it ends up suffering & dying or in the best case having to be rehomed
BTW: you are an amazing pet owner don't let people tell you aren't because look how many pets you have.
How the heck could you call her a bad pet owner??? You have like 20 pets and you do a beutiful job taking care of them! 🐍🐢🦎🐠
Mikayla Brown you are right
Yes
bullshit
ya she takes good car of them
my hedgie passed away this morning. broke my heart entirely. he was only 2 and a half months old. Wobbly Hedgehog syndrome. I can't stop crying. dont know if I can get another or not :( I clearly didn't have him very long but he was so special to me. first pet I ever had. had wobbly symptoms for 5 days and lost his battle. I did all I could. desperately tried to help him. i helped him eat and drink and held him for comfort, got a heater, and talked to him. he was my baby and saying bye to him is so damn hard. R.I.P. Sonic
Halee Varner I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how you must be feeling so here's a cyber hug. 🤗
Dev K I feel completely heartbroken. I never knew I could get so attached so quickly. he was the cutest and the best pet ever. thanks for the kind words and cyber hug. means a lot!
Halee Varner. same my hedgehog died on sunday in my hands
So quickly? This is terrible. I feel sorry for you loss and hope you'll feel better soon. :)
Alexis Acosta prayers. i know it's painful!
Trust me, this is not your fault. Piper lived an amazing life and was taken care of by an amazing pet owner. You did the best you could. She's in heaven now. RIP Piper 💗
My best friend has had her hedgehog for 7 months her name is peanut I have been worrying because she doesn't always look as happy as normal I am really scared for her now because I seen this I want to make sure that she doesn't pass away to early and break my best friends heart I am so happy that I seen this
One thousand dislikes? Who the hell would dislike a video like this?
Ruthless Potato Chips it's because of the sadness
TubbyPuggle i think it is because of the thumbnail and the tear emoji
Welcome the earth people do that
It’s that pet store owner he made 1000 different accounts just to lDislike this video
I know right they are just jelly that they don’t have pets probably or it’s because they hate her but there just Straight up mean
hey taylor (long comment coming)
so i'll be honest, i found your videos in the first place about a year ago because i wanted two pets: an axolotl and a hedgehog, and i was so excited to see that you owned both of them and had great videos about their care. i finally got a copper axolotl in december and i'm so so happy with him, but i'd still been really pining for a hedgehog (especially after seeing your cuties in all your videos!). even after all the horrible stuff happened with solara i assumed it was a fluke and still intended on getting one, but this video has really made me see sense. i wasn't aware of it but from what you've described it sounds that these african pygmy hedgehogs are a product of clumsy interbreeding to make a domesticated animal that is just unstable and poorly understood. 3/4 of your hedgehogs getting sick like that cannot be a coincidence. its like dogs - everyone assumes its fine to own crazy inbred breeds like french bulldogs and pugs, but ignore the abundance of health issues that have come from lazy breeding to make a quick buck. btw i'm of course not blaming you at all, i would have probably made the same mistake before i watched this video.
even though i've had my heart set on one for so long i just cannot handle how utterly heartbroken you are and the money you've spent to try and make them better, so i'm going to put down this idea entirely. its not fair on you or on the animal themselves, if people are just going to breed without thinking about the consequences.
as a final note i'm really sorry this happened it sounds so awful, i know i would not have kept myself together as well as you did in this video. i hope you feel better soon and the pain goes away, and at least you have your other pets (and your lovely new puppy) for comfort. mad love x
likeastarbaby That's scary. after watching her videos I desperately wanted a hedgehog and an axolotl. In December I got a hedgehog, even though after watching her videos I knew of the health risks. I was devastated when I watched this video. I feel so bad for Taylor. some of the worst things happen to the nicest people.
If I were a pet I wish I'd be yours lmao
Professor Sona right !
Professor Sona YAAASSSS
Unicorn_ Jo_209 Ikr? Her pets always die! 🙄😒
Unicorn_ Jo_209 so? Who cares.. omg making such a big deal
2 shots of Clorox Bleach Well excuse me for just stating facts. You're the one making a big deal out of it, I literally just said that everybody dies at some point. You literally had gone out of your way to point out something that wasn't even true.
I"m so sorry that this happened to you, Taylor. One of the most traumatizing experiences I've ever had was ALMOST having to euthanize my ferret. I had just had a c section and was recovering at home with my newborn, when my ferret Rumi became seriously ill. I took him to the vet and was told the surgeries were going to be over 3,000 which I couldn't afford at the time. When I saw him with the catheter in and was told to say goodbye to him, I snapped and told them to just give him the surgery, I couldnt bare to say goodbye to my barely one year old little boy :( At the end of the day, we came up w a quarter of the money owed and the vet told me that he would cover the rest. He just wanted to save my ferrets life, which is unheard of with vets. I'm grateful that I didn't have to know that I was the one to make the decision of his mortality just because I couldn't afford it. Rumi is happy and thriving today, I'm glad I had the opportunity to save his life
You are literally the best pet owner ever! Like I get all the info for taking care of my geckos and hedgehogs and snakes from you and they have lived for about 3 years now with no problems so don’t listen to those haters! And listed to the lovers!
Diamond Wolf1 I love ur name
Hedgy hog nation
It’s fine to be happy, she/he is trying to lift people’s spirit.
I had a bunny, he was called bambi he used to kiss you and loved to cuddle he was happy and next day i woke up he was not well he was trying to get up but he fell down over and over again he gave up we ran to the vet and i was holding him in my hands he died the second we got to the vet 😔😓its been almost 3 years since he died but i still cant get over it😭
meow16 when I was about 6
My mum texted my big sister saying that we had a surprise present
When my mum got home, she had a baby bunny, and we named the bunny ruby, my mum said she found ruby in the of the road, so she picked ruby up, me and my sister got so exited, we got a cage and padded it with clothing, ruby the bunny only lasted 10 mins with us, she started hitting her small head on the side of the cage, bc she was a shock, and after she hit her head, she didn't move, so we took her outa the cage, and she didn't do anything, so we built her a little grave, but we didn't want to put her under ground, so instead we put her in her cage beside the grave, the next day, she was gone, no blood left at all, we thought it was the cats, but they didn't have any sign of blood on them, when we ask about if they killed a mouse, they leave, we asked about ruby to the cats, they didn't leave, I hope ruby is still alive and well, but if she isn't, then, we will never forget her
meow16 we had a puppy for 2 months she was just a baby. Happy, wild, sweet. She got parvovirus and my parents tried to nurse her back to health though the situation of my brother's birthday going on. She just got worse really early in the morning my parents woke up and saw that there was blood in her stool and rushed her to the vet hospital. I heard them wake me up and I never wake up late at night by little noises so I knew something was up. She stayed in the hospital for 2 days then I visited her. She looked bad but I still had hope for her... the next day was Monday I think and we went to school really depressed and deep down I knew she was gone. My grandma and my mom were there to pick us up from high school. They told us that Sophie looked so terrible and the vet said the best thing to do was to put her down but they still offered more days to treat her but that was already thousands of money spent already.. so they put her down. They said she wasn't alone that grandma and mom were there but I felt betrayed. I wanted to be there I wanted her ashes I wanted to hold her one last time. And it hurts so much to this very day knowing that the last time I saw her I only got to touch her little paw... I just wanted to hold her one last time. It sucks too because months before we got her our dog of 4 years died from i don't know what she bleed everywhere and her guts came out her butt and no one was there when she died. I miss Perty I miss Sophie. Most of all I miss Luma she's another dog who died at 4 years old. It's sad that you come home saying "I'm going give Luma a bath" "we're going to take her walking" then just see she's gone. All the dogs got out because of this Labrador we had he just loved to open the gate for everyone leave. The lab and the other dog that got out was fine and that gave us hope that Luma was still alive. I stayed home to watch to see if she would get home. It felt like hours I would pace back and forth to the front door to the back yard door. My brother... in his lowest time I just... he burstef into the house and screamed "LUMA'S DEAD" I screamed, I blamed God I cussed out loud for the very first time. It changed me so much. I hated the Labrador for doing this. Luma got hit by a car. My dad got one of my old blankets and buried her in our yard.. I never saw her again. And guess what. She died after my parents anniversary then the next day was my cousin's birthday.. how could 2 happy events have such a horrible event happen in between. I mean I didn't see her after the dinner my mom and dad had. And in the morning I don't even remember seeing her either. But she was there after my surgery. She was there when I needed love and I wasn't there they they found her that hurts a lot. I can't stop thinking about them. And I'm crying so much right now because I loved them so much. We have a new dog after so long. She is okay. She was on death row when we adopted her. Nobody wanted her I guess, but I can't love her like I loved the others but I'm trying to care for her as long as she's here. (Her name is Starry it's kinda sad because I almost call her Sophie every time because she acts like a fusion of Perty and Sophie it's really weird but she likes to cuddle like Luma... Starry confuses me but I still like her)
SuperSonic64 I honestly don't know why your story has only three likes, but I think it is amazing how you are even okay with having a dog again. I don't even know you, at all, and I'm so proud of you for the way you dealt with all that happened. And I hope you have a lot of fun with your new dog
meow16 a few yrs ago 5 maybe? I was at family's house and there were baby barn swallows that fell out of there nest and stray cats so i couldnt just stand by watching them get killed so i caught 6 of em 1 of them are dog killed the other one died in a car and then at my house we had cats.. It was winter... So my mom said they had to stay in the doorway they froze to deat ;(
I was 7 and really wanted a dog desperately because I saw my friends had a beautiful cocker spaniel. I begged my mom every day and finally one day she decided to take me to get a dog from some person she knew that had young golden retrievers mixed with labrador. We went to pick it up and I can remember how excited I was that day I remember crying when I got to pet the dog and get in the car with it. I than named it Candy, and she was the sweetest dog ever. She never barked at anyone or even bit. I remember we had rat problems and that my grandma had rat poison, I didn't think anything of it at the time and didn't know the potential danger. I was at school and I than just remember getting out of school and seeing my mom standing there waiting for me with a worried expression and she than took me to the car and told me what happened.. My grandma had put the rat poison on some small pieces of bread for the rats, but instead my dog Candy got to it first and ate it.. We rushed to the vet where Candy was and I just remember seeing vets around her and her throwing up everywhere. Than they let me see her for the last time and took her into another room. And I just have the memory burned into my brain when the Vet came out and told me she was gone.. I love dogs but I will never get one again, it feels like loosing a family member. And I'm just crying like crazy right now.
My mom owns a shop and has a rule if you don't have the proper supplies she won't sell the animal.
God bless her soul
digital_ annie thank god, your mom is an amazing person.
That's great
digital_ annie that's good I would never give one of my animals away if the person isn't going to look after it
every. single. shop. needs. this. rule. bless your mother
I’m extremely sorry for ur loss, I love you so much and I hope you get better.
When my girl peanut died it wasn't the death that hurt, it was the force feeding & trying to help her but not succeeding. It tore my heart up because as her "mother" I wanted to make everything better.
I know... force feeding is awful. I had to force feed birds, and sometimes it killed them...but they would be dead otherwhise too (with birds, if they swallow from the wrong side it goes in their lungs and they die from an aweful death...) I also had to amputate one to save his life, it's the worst thing ever. (The bird was living with his colony in a huge cage outside, and this one got a hair entangeled around his foot, saw it when it was too late, the foot was starting to rot...) The bird lived without his foot, but man... Doing this without anesthetics (you don't have another choice with birds so small) was aweful.
Kelly Oreos I feel your pain. A few years ago, my moms shitzu, Jack, was dying of cancer, and a few days before it happened she took off with her sister because she couldn't deal with it. My dad hated Jack, and just put him outside in the cold to die alone because he was crying so loudly and my dad didn't want to pay to euthanize him. I brought him into my room, and had to force feed and water him for two days. Eventually I crushed up some pain pills and force fed him that to take his pain away. I was like 15, it was the hardest thing Ive ever had to do.
Kelly Oreos why did you put quotes around mother?
Deyanira D because her birth mother will always be her true mother.
that must be really hard. im sorry for your loss. my mom just bought a hedgehog, but she knows nothing about them, she didn't do her research, she just thinks they look cool. i honestly feel bad for it. I really hope it doesn't get sick and die like all the other pets she impulse buys.
Tyjo'sBootyIsThicc You should really try and do something about your mother. It's animal cruelty to buy pets and not care for them properly. No animal should be in her care.
mTyjo'sBootyIsThicc
She is your mother, you have the power to change this situation and educate her.
I hugged my hedgehog while watching this
I lost my ferret recently and it's been so painful. We love our animals like they're our babies. They're our pride and joy. I'm so sorry for your consistant losses. I cant imagine how hard it must've been. Keep your head up, hun
My guinea pig died of old age a month and a half ago, I had her for five years and she was MY first real pet that I didn't have to share. She was so important to me, and I understand the sadness losing a pet can bring. I got her when I was eight so she took up a large part of my life and I will always love her, wether with me in person or in spirit. Best wishes to you, hope you're doing alright.
A week ago my 4 year old pet hedgehog Sami passed away due to WHS and it was devastating... When it happened I blamed myself that maybe it was my fault.. but after a watching this and after a week of thinking it over I know there was nothing I could have done. I don't plan on getting any hedgehog any time soon because I'm so afraid of going through that again. But thank you Taylor for this video in particular because I know is a hard video to make but, now after seeing it I know I'm not alone so thank you for that.
WHO ARE THESE INVISIBLE NINJAS CUTTING ONIONS BY MY EYES
This is so sad, I feel really bad for you. You are so strong for filming this
It's ok to be sad

Danny's Aquariums I want a hedgehog
I want one, but I think it'll die! so I won't get one I guess!
jij hier ook?
Bad things happen to the bad people too, you just don't see it that much because all of them get hate as soon as they're seen, making them NOT want to be seen..... But there are many Brave ones out there on UA-cam.....
Danny's Aquariums I agree
To live in the hearts of others is never to die
RIP, Piper
I had a sad death experience with my snake hat died recently. Please for any one who is thinking about getting a pet from petsmart or PETCO don't do it, because I did research after my pet died, and pets there are usually sick and aren't taken care of well. So I got her on my birthday and loved her so much the day I got her but the problem was that she hadn't eaten at all. We tried to feed her for 3 months and she never ate. We found out the store had sold us a sick snake and snake died a few days ago.I have been crying for a while now and I really loved her😭💕
at the petco that i work at this is not the case but I cant say for all cheers
Ohh I'm sooo sorry 😢😳😭
I'm so sorry RIP
Lydia M yes agreed!!
Im tearing up... i really love snakes and im really sorry for your loss... please stay positive..!
I got my hedgehog Benny from a pretty shady breeder. He only lived about 2 and a half years. Benny was extremely healthy but within a few days he got a cancerous tumor in his mouth and he couldn't chew or swallow anything because of it. I had to put him down, it was the most difficult thing I've ever had to do. I still miss him.
PickleKitten Gaming im sorry
I had to put my 6 yr old hedgehog to sleep yesterday because of this too. Rest In Peace, Fionna.
Leah Rice sad
You are not a terrible pet owner . We love you ❤️ just wanted to tell you

I'm sorry for your los my first dog died last year 😭😭😭😭😭😭
XxCrimson PlaysxX ok

XxCrimson PlaysxX my first dog died about 3 years ago
Tony Maldonado my first dog died 6 years ago
my family has had to put down 4 dogs out of 7 dogs. 1 truly was a jerk the other 3 where nice not really angry or anything. 1 bit my older sister after she shoved him under a blanket and hugged him. 2/3 was named Rocco and I absolutely loved him but he was a very pack kinda dog who in his sweet black fur covered head went Dad=pack leader me=2nd in line and the son(me)= 3rd in line. and so Rocco put his jaws around my neck. it wasn't him trying to kill me or hurt me in any way just him showing dominance over me. My parents didn't take it too well and had him put down. Which I didn't know about since I absolutely loved him even after him biting me. So they told me that they put him on a farm with one of my dads coworkers and that already he was doing great and was happy with this old dude and his wife. My dad let slip on the weekend of July 4th wall him and I were up camping at Griswalt. The last dog was Sadie she was more my moms then anyone else's. I didn't care too much about her but she was still you know a family pet that we all care about. None of our animals really died of old age or disease. the 2nd dog as a family that we had was given away because we had to move. Jasper a black lab which we still have and Oakley whom I also love is with another person because after my parents divorce 3 years ago my mom didn't want the dogs so my dad got them. and at the time it was Jasper the young silly lab and Oakley who loved fetch and would throw the toy at you if you didn't play. (it was very cute!) he was a yellow lab very much like a barrel of puppy love and muscle. But when my dad sold the large house that we had and moved into a smaller one the two dogs didn't really have a lot of space so they where kept mainly outside since my dad worked from really early too really late so the time came when we (dad and i) realized that Oakley and his shedding really triggered our asthmatic allergies so we actually gave too a good friend of y dad's and I've gone to see him a couple times since then. Jasper is still here and just Like Oakley He throws the toy at you but when he does it he looses his balance and falls ! :P
I am so sorry about your luck with hedgehogs 🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔😭😭
My hope is that everyone thats thinking of getting a hedgehog could watch this video. PLEASE share this as much as possible. Thanks so much for posting Taylor, your a great pet mom. :)
I understand your pain it's ok to let your viewers know what's going on don't be ashamed to share your omissions
Like this if you feel the same way
Its okay to cry.You have to express your feelings and all those haters are very rude and just dont listen to them.But its okay.I'm the same way of crying.I don't really cry I just keep it to myself.But I realized that its okay to cry.But this is a really sad story.
Preach.
Even when the dark comes crashing through, when u need a friend to carry u, and when ur broken on the ground....
U will be found
Awkward dear even hansen!
It is true 😓😟😯
I feel your pain about losing a pet you loved so much. My rabbit was two years old and he was a male and his name was Gregory I got him at a junior. And so he breaded with my sisters rabbits. And he devolved 2 ear infections. We had him taking pills and I had to hand feed him. I kept thinking the whole time this is it. He’s gone... Shortly after his kids (There were 4) were born and we showed them to him. One of them looks exactly like him 😭. A couple months after they were born he died... He died so peacefully and now he watching over his kids from above. One of his kids live inside of his old cage to this day....
This is 11 months ago, but this comment is so sad. Such a sad story. I hope you feel better and give a kiss for the bunnies!
Rabbits*
Awww I feel so bad for you it was not your fault.I have had a hampster and he died.They just die quick😥
people can be so cruel. for some reason whenever something tragic happens the first thing the public does is look for someone to blame. i see it everywhere (with people or animals) im sorry you've had such bad hedgie luck. anyone who regularly watches your videos can see how passionate you are about keeping your animals the best way you can.
People say that if you cry it means you're a wuss. It's the opposite. Crying is manly and human. It's okay to do it.
madscientistshusta you sound like a 5 year old who just learnt how to swear
Crying is the body's way to tell others your in pain
Derp Productions People say real men don't cry, but real men aren't afraid to cry
Maizie Nowell-Spice Exactly.
Miles what he means to say is "fuck gender standards"
I have a sad story too. When our cats had kittens (we could barely afford to keep them, so we couldnt spay Sophie and Belle) we would keep the runts. Sophie's first litter was about the same time as Belle's and Shadow would often play with his cousins and we didn't think much of it. Tigger and Two-face are the ones we kept. Two-face was the runt and my dad just couldn't see tigger go. Two grew up into a beautiful cat, bright silky fur, she was just so pretty. But, she was sick. We couldn't afford to take her to the vet, so we gave her the best even tho I know she was hurting. She was still a baby, less then 4 years old when she died. We were all so sad. We buried her next to her grandma and grandpa (unrelated). All of the cats would sit near them and cry. Two-face, Cassidy, and Spastic were beloved and I miss them so much. Rest in peace, Two-face. Rest in peace Cassidy and rest in peace Spastic.
I've had two hedgehogs who died without a reson. Our firs, Fiona, died in my arms on the way to the hospital. We think she was stuffed up because she had a bump on her stomach and the last hour she looked like she was in pain, so it was for the best.
Our second hedgehog, Lillemor, we have no idea what happened. She just one day stopped eating and we gave her wet for and try to force her to eat but nothing really happened. The vets didn't do much either. And then about 3-4 days after the vet meeting I found her laying lifeless besides her food.
Now I have a new little prince and he seems so healthy, but I am so scared that I'm gonna find him dead at any time. He is only about 1,5 years old right now so I hope he will live 5 years at least.
PieQueen Fiona had a thing from birth like where her belly button was my cat Rose had it it was like a balloon
Make sure to get some blood tests for Kovu yearly or every 6 months, to make sure his kidneys are good. Maybe/hopefully they'll be able to notice if he starts getting into Kidney failure
(if I remember correctly you only start seeing symptoms of kidney failure at a quite high percentage. I think it was close to 60% of a kidney needs to stop working to show outwards symptoms, so that's why it might have felt super quick)
I've had a few geckos, they were Mediterranean House geckos, their names were Baby and Harley, the first one, Baby, had passed away because of an unknown cause, to this day, I thought it was because I never took care of her good enough, but it was most likely, because she was roaming alone by herself and she was too young to live on her own, she had a birth deformity that caused her to not to live as long as she should have, so that means we gave her a longer life than she would have in the wild.
Harley had also passed away, he was much older than Baby was, he was more of an adult or an elder, he most likely had passed because of old age, we fed him daily and gave him surplus amounts of water, he had a pool of water that I cleaned daily to prevent contamination, he was warmed during the winter so he wouldn't die from hypothermia.
Both Baby and Harley's deaths made me very depressed but Baby's got me the hardest because I watched her die in my hands as I cried and said goodbye to her, it hurt me so bad that I didn't draw at all for a few days, we buried her in our backyard and I left a seashell near where we had laid her to rest.
I don't want my pet, Pugsley, to die either, she's a rescue pug who was over bred, 9 times in 7 years, and mostly starved, we've had her for almost 4 years, since December 23, 2014, she'll be 11 by then, luckily, what we thought was Cancer, was only a cyst and I glad she's happy now.
All in all, if you want a pet, rescues may be not the healthiest looking choice, but they'll thank you for every second you decided they were they one, their always loyal and appreciate every moment they have with you.
The Rumproast i cried reading this, i have a gecko named newt and if this happened to her idk what i would do, its very sad to hear when pets die, all dogs i have had except my puppy have been recues, rescuing is also something i want to professionally do as i grow older i have rescued birds, dogs, cats, kittens, and one time a baby squirell
The Rumproast I had a shizu cross we don't know what with but he was a rescue and he got diabetes and we were giving him shots twice a day and they he got sick and combined with the diabetes it was too much and he died during the night what hit me the worst was when my cat went around the house looking for him to play and just writing this makes me sad we also buried him in the garden beside about 5 baby rabbits who died of shock from a dog who broke into the garden 1 rabbit who died of an Injury and 1 cocatoo who died of old age
The Rumproast I'm with you I had 2" dogs and they die in there first week
My first hedgehog who was named Bonita sadly passed at 5 it was a horrible death, when she was younger she was very healthy and active, she was the kindest hedgehog I've ever known, but when she hit her 5th birthday things went downhill. I decided to give her a bath and in doing so found a lump on her throat which turned out to be a tumor, she was quite strong and we tried treatments but nothing worked I knew she would pass soon but she stayed alive for weeks on end which was super surprising since the tumor spread to her legs and stomach, making it so she couldn't walk. on her last days her left ear starting bleeding profusely. She died unhealthy which broke my heart. It wasn't because she had no room to move because we made a very large cage for her with perfect heat and everything. I'm so sorry about your hedgehogs. I know how heart breaking it can be to lose a pet.
My hamster is sick (I think) but my mom doesn't have enough money to pay for the vet. My hamster meant the world to me, and I can see him suffering. He Comforted me when I was sad.I hold him in my arms everyday and it breaks my heart to see him. My mom won't let me do anything (take home to the vet) and I hurts me so much, I can tell his time is short. When he's gone how can I move on?
He died in my arms today.
Lots of hugs.
Hammy Ham at least you know that he died happy and loved. honestly, once an animal becomes terminal the only thing you can do is keep it warm and happy in it's final hours. sorry for your loss, though, i know how hard it is to lose a pet. it's almost like losing a child.
Hammy Ham hey, if you are over 16 and have good credit, get a credit card. My snake had gotten mouth rod and i just lost my job. So, i went and got a credit card. Once i work again, i pay it off and cancel it. Now i put $50 a week away in a saving account just in case any of my animals ever get sick and i don't have the money. I am also sorry and pray he make it.
Hammy Ham oh, so sorry to hear this. 😭😭😭
I've missed you so much!!! I hope you're okay! Put you and yourself first okay??? No one can be mad about your choices when it comes to your life. Stay positive lady! Love you so much 💖💖
Bless you! I had a fish and his name was Neptune. I had him for five years and I had a female fish named Leopard and they were best friends. Two years later I got two more fish named Quartz and Tiger. They all lived together for two years until leopard got to old and passed away. Quartz , Tiger and Neptune lived together but one day Neptunes dorsal fin started to go pink ( btw Neptune is all white) and then red. I started giving medicine and the red went away but took half of his fin with it. The wound around it healed but his bones were still visible. Later on he went down to the cave where leopard died. Of course I was concerned and took close eye. It was a couple of days before he died that Tiger and Quartz started chasing him and I immidetly took action. I scooped Neptune out and put him in a large bowl filled with clean tank water where he could feel safe. I put a cloth over the bowl because I had a cat. I would try to feed Neptune but he just wouldn't eat. I would sit with him and on his last day of life I told him that I was sorry. He passed away in the same cave that Leopard passed in. I now have two fake fish plants resembling their presence in the tank with Tiger and Quartz.
Rip my beautiful Leopard
Rip my friendly Neptune
I miss you.
❤
( Please no hate, I love my animals and still have my two young fish today, Tiger and Quartz. I also have a young snake named Shardz and a beautiful tortoiseshell pollydactyl cat named Pink. Did I mention I also have a 6 month old tortoise named Tiddles?)
I had a Betta fish named micheal and I never realized how much I liked that fish until after I had him for 5 months. My mom realized that I never really paid attention to it, so she gave it to a classmate (I was in kindergarten)that’s why the story is stupid) and I never noticed until a year later, that the fish was GONE. I never saw that fish again.
I had a leopard geko that was so sweet and calm and his name was haku and I got another leopard geko named sen and once I put sen and haku next to each other haku wouldent move and he made this sound so I automatically told my mom and a few days later we found out haku was a girl (and sen is a boy)so me and my mom thought he was pregnant so my mom went (I went to school)I had a early dessmisel and my mom was crying I said what's wrong and she said haku (she had haku in a cage on her lap) has 3 more days to live after the three days we went to the vet and haku was climbing (my arms were criscrosed ) up my arm and curled up like he knew what was gonna happen to him but he was still smiling and then the docters took him away from me. Btw he wasn't eating and I cry about it every night he's still in my freezer to this day. But don't worry I still have sen and a new lizard named kodama! r.i.p haku da sweet sweet lizard that never bitten enyone but kissed
🐠🐟🐠🐟rip sorry for your loss
Your a total sweet heart and I'm sorry for your loss you see to take great care of your animals and obviously love them to the fullest so it truly is sad to see things like this happen
Honestly, I'm inspired seeing she can take care of SOO many animals. I have 2 bunnies and I ♡ them. When I get older (a few years from now lol) I hope to get a few more animals. Bearded Dragons, squirrels, ect. ♡♡♡
Sunny The Duckling please don't get squirrels!
If you get a beardie, make sure to get it from a breeder-NOT A PET SHOP. I got mine from a chain pet shop, and they did disclose that she was the last one they had and she was taken in back because she wasn't eating as good as the others and they were hand feeding her, and I decided to take her. 2 years later, and I do still have her, but we suspected she was partly blind, so we took her to a reptile shop/breeder who looked at her and agreed. She's completely blind in her left eye and probably partly blind in her right eye, so she can't actually catch bugs on her own. I still love her and wouldn't trade her for the world, but she is a huge commitment, so I just can't recommend chain pet shops.
I feel your pain, I lost 2 baby turtles in less than 4 months😞 I bought them from the same place and they said they would probably live 40 years. I'm so sorry about piper😭😭
Rip Piper❤️
Donutthejumper Man Don't forget Nala ❤ She's in a better place
Nalas spirit was in Piper, the happiest spirit... and whoever sold Piper to you... took Nalas second chance at life...😢😢😭😭 I bet that just made you cry, but when your are ready find Nala, and take good care of her... give her back all those years that were stolen.
that was so deep....
You did the best thing ,don't blame yourself🙏❤
I had a hedgehog..... Her name was Ellie.. She died of cancer. Why is cancer taking all of our love ones! This video reminded me for her... And made me cry... I'm so sorry for you Taylor.. God Bless Us All....
R2D2Misty RIP all hedgehogs that have all died I'm sorry 😭😭😭😭they r all watching u in heaven they r still in ur heart. 💜💛💚💙 I'm sorry Taylor and everybody else who has been through this
Mhm so true I wish hedgehogs lived longer..
R2D2Misty my hamster died of cancer 😔
Why god killed your hog? Guess he needed another barbed angel. Don't fool yourself silly.
Yea.. :c
Im so sorry :( I gave my hedgehog, Donatello, extra mealworms after watching this
this happened to my dog. She was born with something wrong with a spinal disc, that shows early symptoms at around age 7. We noticed these symptoms (whining randomly, going to one specific spot over and over) and took her to the emergency vets. They told us there that she had diabetes and arthritis. Both of which, was false. The medication she took for that made her whole condition worse, so we paid over £1000 to get her into surgery, to see what was wrong. They found the problem, but because of the late diagnosis, she passed away during recovery. If the vet had experienced staff, she could have survived with one scar. But she died because of one man. And it still has messed me up completely to this day. I feel you girl, love you x
I know this was over a year ago but I'm so sorry for your loss. Its so hard to lose a pet-child. I wanted to get a hedgehog but now you have me rethinking that. Your story had me bawling, I cant stand to see people hurting. But you are a great mama and they were very lucky to have you and your love!

i feel so bad my brother hamster died 😥😥😥😥😥
The saddest story of one of my pets,
I had a dwarf hamster (white with a grey stripe on her back) and she was called Honey, I love her, she was my first pet and everyday after school I held her and she was so cute and I thought she would live a long time, my sister had a dwarf hamster too (brown with a. Black stripe on her back) and she was called poppy and the bad thing was they where both girls and when we got them we decided to put them in the same cage and one night my parents heard them fighting and they got them separated (honey got the better cage and poppy got another) and when they separated them they found that poppy had bitten honey and she was bleeding.
In a few weeks honey started getting red lumps on her head, legs and face and back, then in a few weeks she started getting worse, and then...on Valentine’s Day that year, I woke up all exited to see her and give her a hug, and she was lying there in her cage, dead and I started screaming and crying and my parents gave me a hug but I was so sad about her, we buried her and I gave her a little coffin, I loved her and missed her but I moved on, I still think of her but I have a. Dog now and he is lovely and I love him but in my heart I will still love my little honey
💜🐹
I know exactly how you feel
I know exactly how you feel.. I lost two chickens who were both males. One a bantam and the other normal.. Digger and Wobbles
XxThe LilyFlowerxX this made me cry
should’ve brought honey to the vet
XxThe LilyFlowerxX why didn't you bring her to the vet? Also for animals like that, never keep them in the same cage.
I feel your pain, literally. Riley (girl hedgehog) died today mid-day from what i think was ear infection or WHS or both, because she showed all signs of having an ear infection because she was shaking, wobbling, scratching and she was paralysed, (WHS signs) and since she was my first hedgehog, i was doing some research about hibernating, and some side effects that would cause death during hibernation, then this came up;
"THERE ARE ACTUALLY A FEW WAYS YOU CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HIBERNATING HEDGEHOG AND A DEAD ONE. WHEN A HEDGEHOG HIBERNATES, IT BALLS UP INTO A TIGHT BALL, SO IF IT'S LAID OUT FLAT THEN IT'S MOST LIKELY DEAD."
After i read it, i glanced over at Riley, and I realized she wasn't curled up, moving or breathing, i did some research of ways and signs for illnesses, near death and possibilities of death, at first i thought it was a heart disease, (sudden death) but when i did more research, i found that she had the possibility of having WHS or ear infection, it was very unaccepted, because the day before and before that day, she was very energetic, curious, calm, adventurous, well fed and happy, then poof! dead :/
Rip 🙏 that is so sad 😔
