I think I'd be pretty grumpy if someone woke me up, made me take a bath, and trimmed my nails.
Absolutely, haha!
She was sooo good with the nail clipping! You could tell she didn't like it, but was so still
"Never put your hedgehog away wet." :D
Anyone else get the "reading rainbow" style feeling from these videos? Love it
Everyone thinking of getting a Hedgehog needs to watch this video. They are a lot of work.
People sell hedgehogs? Don't buy hedgehogs. They should be wild and eating your garden pests.
@@realhorrorshow8547 there are no wild hedgehogs in the USA
@@kenleym.6897 No hedgehogs? You are missing out, hedgehogs are great. Who eats your slugs if not hedgehogs?
@@realhorrorshow8547 I want one si bad!
As a pet
You are darling and love how much you care for the critters it is a passion!
You are the best. You helped me with my coocktile named cookie. And the way you care to youre animals is like a mom to her children. Wish you the best
You are such a sweet person I love your channel.
What an adorable little animal. Ironically I'm wearing a Sonic the Hedgehog tee shirt as I watch this video.
She's so cute.
This is my favourite UA-cam channel! great video! Keep up the amazing work!👍
Thank you so much for taking care of these animals. It helps recharge my heart in these tough times.
Aw. Her cute old lady walk. Poor dear.
Jessi! I've been watching since before you launched the youtube channel, and you are doing such wonderful and educational content. Can you do an episode on your nocturnal animal friends and what they are up to when they are active? Keep up the good work! You guys are great!
stalker much
If she was a stalker then she would be at her house spying on her, GOSH people do not know what stalking means!
It's remarkable she is so trusting with you. It says so much about her care and love. Thank you for such new interesting information about the large range of animals.
Oh! I’ve seen hedgehog wobble, I think Dr. K (Exotic animal ER) talked about it as well. Prickle is incredibly gifted to have y’all, what a world it would be if we all treated animals and each other as conscientiously as y’all treat those in your care!
Poor wobbly bobbly D:
I love your extensive care on all your animals, especially on Prickles today. I really feel your great appreciation for the animals you are able to keep! I know how hard it can be to just keep up the good work with a handful of quails and chickens but can't imagine the intense time effort and care taking you are giving in your passion to all your beautiful animals. Also I like hedgehogs!
Hedgehogs Hiss, just like my cockatiel! Prickle we love you!
so freaking adorable!!
Aww he is so cute i can't handle it 😅😍😍
I love this its so fun to watch
What a good little hedgehog!
You are such an amazing caregiver to all the animals. I trim my parrots talons & I'm sure trimming those teensy hedgehog nails is not easy. All though you make it look so easy.
she was so good for her nail trim!
I had to do the same with some of my extremely senior rats when early stages of Hind Leg Deterioration started. Keeping them in loose substrate was making it impossible for them to get around their enclosure. It looked like the were swimming in place. I put them on fleece which needed changed daily. But was worth it to see them scoot around with relative ease
magic... ❤
Had to take my leather jacket off to move a biggie away from the traffic lights on the main road. They really insist on taking the same route every night!
She's beautiful, glad she's doing well in old age! I had the same little cushy travel bed with stripes for my bunny before she passed.
I want to support your channel as much as possible, thank you for this.
Your so good with animals! My 7 year old loves your 2 channels.
I think the fiber tunnel should get one of the big holes closed and the small hole as well and then the entrance should be placed away from the view.
you and your team are wonderful, thanks
That was a great video Jessie
Hi Jesse I really love your videos I am your #1 fan
Aww that’s such a cool home :-)
She's so cute Masha'Allah. 🥰
Love your channel.
Do you guys think you can do a video where you walk the grounds at Animal Wonders and show us all of the different animals that are currently in your care? I've been binging all your videos lately, and it is sometimes difficult to tell just how many animals you guys currently have (and what that actually looks like). Plus, its hard to tell which animals are actually still in your care, or which ones were given away or passed away. I enjoy your videos and I think it would be nice to see some of the animals that havent been shown in a long time
Awwww so cute....
she's adorable! who lives above her?
What about a yoga mat under the fleece for some extra softness and cushioning?
You must burn the candle on both ends more than any of us can imagine.
Great video!
3:53 - when she sort of tucks her nose in that's adorable...but I'm guessing it's part of what she does whe she curls into a ball, does it mean she's nervous?
Did she have any training to sit still for her nail trims? I have seen in a number of other videos how other animals have been trained for similar procedures. I am amazed by the depth of knowledge you have for each individual species and animal! I barely understand my house cats sometimes :-P Thanks for the great videos.
I love these pre-historic dinosaurs
My hedgehog hates getting a nail trim! Lol
lol
Awwwww she looks like my hedgey name Luna!!!
great content
What a sweet little hedgie
Hey Jessi. Have you guys considered getting her an easily accessible litter pan for her enclosure? That may help a little her lil poo shoes!
Thanks for the suggestion :) We gave her a litter pan when we first got her and she never used it. Adults can be notoriously hard to litter train if they weren't introduced as youngsters.
I couldn't keep my lil hedgehog in a cage. Once I started letting her run around the kitchen she would go nuts when I put her back in. I ended up putting her lil house between 2 cupboards and her toys on the floor. She would sprint around the kitchen doing laps and beg at my feet when I was cooking, I miss her :(
She liked her bigger plastic "tree stump" over the warm pad! :( Fix it; put it baaaack the way it was!! haha Great video. 'Nite, Prickle.
I'd have mistaken her for a male, btw - by the quick glance at her genetalia, it seems almost like the protuberance of a male sex organ! Also - amazing how you are able to make trimming her teeny nails, look so easy. I am so afraid to trim my dogs' nails, I have to bring them to the vet every month!! I've purchases MANY different types of files & clippers, but never worked up enough nerve -I even bought styptic powder to have on standby! haha
Could I use fleece as the main flooring/lining and then use a digbox filled with carefresh/similar?
How do you clean fleece that has been used as substrate? I am guessing that fleece could be very versatile and have many uses at animal wonders, what do you do to keep it from potentially spread diseases?
I have friends that use fleece for their guinea pigs. You put them in the washing machine to clean them.
I'm hoping you mean the fleece, not the guinea pigs ... ;-)
I use fleece for my hedgie. I have a litter box that he uses for most of his potty breaks (except when he’s on his wheel). Then all I have to do is clean the litter box, take out the fleece, shake out any stray food and stuff into the trash, and I throw it into the wash. I have several fleece pads that he can use when others are in the wash. I also happen to use my extra fleece as reusable bedding as well. I cut it into strips and leave it in his hut where he can practice his natural nesting behaviors. 🙂
Mindlessly Generic do hedgehog quills hurt?
They're a tad prickly, but in time you get adjusted to it
0:33: Um... that's not an animal. 1:04: Oh! Yes it is. 🙂
Could you possibly tell us what kind of substrate you use? I'm looking to get some for my hedgehogs, but I want to find the right one
Hey Jessie! Love everything! I have a great idea: Night vision camera. Set one up on a timer, and then you can get great clips of the nocturnal animals' antics and behavior! Whatcha ya think?? :] Cheers!
Night camera would be so cool to watch - would Prickle, Gizmo and Gadget notice the red light and become shy tho?
I love this I have a baby girl named Luna star
Do you have any tricks for trimming the nails of especially shy hedgehogs?
Have you ever experienced mites with Carefresh use?
Great video! The reason I use fleece is because in the long run it costs so much less. P.s who lives in that enclosure above prickles?
Nora Koch We spend more time cleaning and do more loads of laundry, but not using so much bedding has been nice. Gizmo and Gadget the sugar gliders live in the levels above Prickle.
can you do a tour
She had done some in the past, check her video list.
You should really get a heat lamp and a thermostat controller
More hedgehog vids❤️❤️
Hello! Random question but, can you do a video on trimming the nails of a parrot? Thanks!
Is that a boa cage (originally?) Still trying to find a way to house my boa once she gets bigger (she's only 88g right now so I've got some time)
Hi Jessi, would something like Nutramin added to her diet help her arthritis by any chance? I've seen it help ferrets, and it does say it's for multiple species. We've had some success with it for kidney disease and arthritis in a ferret, and seen others use it with same results.
The news I care about!
How often should you trim nails?
Are you sure that wobble isn't WHS? (Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome)
It could be, but it's probably just old age. I feel like with WHS they're more dizzy looking.
That's what I was thinking
In the wild, how do they maintain their nails? Is there something that they inherently do or is it common for hedgehog's nails to grow and curl into their paws?
niyah kelly Most animals will naturally dig and burrow in the wild, but this is hard to replicate in captivity and if an animal wasn't originally wild, they might not want to dig. I am not 100% sure about hedgehogs but this is usually the case with rabbits
I got one over 20 years ago and after few weeks I brought him bat because he was always scared. Couldn’t do nothing with him. After watching some videos I realized that I should have done differently. But in the 90’ there was no UA-cam.
Did she have a wheel in her old enclosure? Mika McKinnon (look her up on Twitter) put odometers on her hedgehog's wheels, and found that he tends to run _several kilometres_ each night, which - stride for stride - is like a human running a full marathon every day. gizmodo.com/hedgehogs-run-a-marathon-every-night-1581300718/amp
Good thing they tracked her running habits, so that they could find out what was going on.
Can you do more videos on Parrotlet care
Speaking of nocturnal, do you have to get up at night to sort stuff out much?
Sometimes. They get their breakfast in the evening and socialize with us for the first few waking hours. They're all usually pretty content during the middle of their awake period, and then if we wake up before sunrise we can hang out with them again as they settle into their sleep period.
what is the name of the enclosures that you use? Looking for new houses for my hedgehogs. Thank You!
Kol Jordan she built it herself.
could you do a hedgehog vs porcupine video explaining the differences?
How do you deal with the possibility of having to say goodbye at any time to one of the animals? How do you take care of them and your self when you are afraid for them? Do you feel fear about them getting sick?
What kind of toys should they have
how do you get them to stay still? Mine absolutely freaks out when i try to trim his nails
Johnothon Has Fun mine used to hold still if you gently blew on her tummy
@@pjbottoms73 that's awesome. We learned that when you put ours up to your heart and he feels your heartbeat you just goes still. Its pretty amazing. We put him up against or chest and have the other person clip them from the front. He still tries to wiggle occasionally but not nearly as much as when on his tummy. I also found that having the lights really dim helps a lot too.
So a question I have is that with housing so many different animals have any of them ever escaped their enclosures? Or has there been any accidental encounters where one animal attacks another?
Brandi Mathis I remember she talked about this in one of the 'ask Jesse' episodes. There was a case of a doors not being locked correctly at least ones, but nothing dramatic happened. They have really strict security protocoles to avoid animals escaping or accidentally 'meeting' each other.
can you do a video about your cockatiel?
Any tips for unruly hedgies who don't like having their nails trimmed? My babe is about a year old and she FIGHTS it so bad. She's normally fairly unfriendly (appears to just be her personality) but nails is by far our biggest hurdle.
Can Prickle be given a substrate poop box?
Hi Jesse I'm doing an economics project and I decided to do an animal presentation service one of the things I have to do is come up with a floor plan do you have any tips for which animals can live in the same habitat and which ones shouldn't?
Hi Jessie, I'm assuming the reason you need to cut his nails is because he is not doing as much rough walking as he is in the wild. What are some other issues like that, that animals living in captivity face?
You don't have a wheel? When we were researching before we got our hedgehog everything said they love/need to run and should have a wheel. Ours runs in hers all night long.
Chris Anderson No wheel for Prickle. She overexercises and doesn't stop to eat her food. Most hedgehogs do want/need a wheel, but it's also important to adapt general species care guides to each individual animal's needs.
HEDGE!
Hey, I love your videos!
Also I was wondering if you could help. I have an African Pygmy Hedgehog, he is about 3 and a half, I have had him for two and a half years. Last night, I was up late and I heard this squeaking and it was my hedgie and he was lying flat on his back with his little legs stuck in the air just squeaking! I have never seen anything like this from him before! He didn't seem to be making much effort to roll back over, and I don't even know how he ended up on his back in the first place. I didn't hear him fall off anything, or anything, normally I hear him kind of rummaging around in his cage and running on his wheel, but nothing and then just his squeaks and him on his back! Should I be concerned? I rolled him back over and had him run round on the floor and he seemed okay, maybe a little slow? I don't know if I should be worried or if he just managed to flip upside down by accident!
Any advice would be great!
Thanks,
Hebe
Did you talk to your vet?
@@juliusroman8616 Hey, he seemed fine otherwise so I didn't and I kept an eye on him and he's never done it again since. He must have just flipped over and got stuck. Weird but he seems okay! He's just over 4 now and eating well, exercising loads, just his usual self. Must have been a funny 5 mins
Does she have a quick in her nail that you have be mindful of?
hi almost all animals have quicks which humans don't have hope this helps
My hedgehog always goes under the mat in his cage to go to sleep, and he never uses his hide out.
My hedgehogs name is S'mores, it is a BOY duh! XD
I have 2 sugar gliders . A male and a female (the male has been neutered)
They both are young but the female is the youngest (or at least I believe so) She is smaller than the male
I have had them for a week
My question is that the female will climb on top of the male and ride on his back. Is this normal and why is she doing it ?
Nothing about being a pet owner scares me more than trimming my dog's nails!
hi I am doing a lot and a lot of research about sugar gliders can you pls make a video about the pls I am hoping I can get one soon pls answer ps great channel love animals also😍
Did you make the cage
mystic sound I did! I needed something that provided maximum space for the animal but fit in the available space we had. Above Prickle is our sugar glider enclosure that goes to the ceiling.
A diy/building video could be really cool!
There's an idea for a video. Building a versatile and affordable enclosure.
How do you make the intro????
I have a question for you , one day I was at my dad's house and my hedgehog was losing a lot of spikes but when I went to my mom's house she didn't lose a lot of spikes but when I looked at her ears she had like a little bit of dry skin should I be concerned or no?🥺
It sounds like your hedgie might have mites. They can cause skin to look flakey and cause quill loss. Take them to the vet for a quick check up, it doesn't hurt to make sure they don't have an infestation or other serious health issue. If left untreated, mites will lower their strength significantly and cause discomfort and self harm from overgrooming. Good luck with your little one, I hope you can find the answers ❤
@@animalwondersmontana yes but in the place that I am there's not a vet but I can take them to the person that's that has a lot of hedgehogs that is the one that gave it to me to see what I can do about it 😢
Do cats like hedgehogs?
