A friend is neglecting a hedgehog, so I'm picking the hedgehog up within a few weeks because if I dont he'll set it free in the wild to die, so I'm trying to cram in all the research all i can on them.
So glad you are doing that
Doing research is very important so well done
you’re a great person for that
How’s the hedgehog?
You are a good person... thanks
-the hedgehog
The cat jumping down scared the crap out of me😂😂😂😂
Admittedly, I am so proud of myself for not visibly jumping because it scared me too hahaha.
I'm glad I did pretty extensive research before going to my local pet store. They thought I was crazy for not using a tank, but my cage is much easier to clean and much bigger than what I could have had as a tank.
I have wanted a hedgehog for about a year now. I have been watching your videos to find out more about them and how to care for them and now I know like everything I need about them. Thanks!
Megan Ruther i have a hedgehog i loooked everything up about them talked to hedgehog owners i got stuff for her started a petition befor i even saked my parents then they said could get her :)
Audioholics ???
Megan Elizabeth same lol
have you gotten one yet?
@@jen7043 i had a stroke reading this
My little albino hedgehog was 3 months old but he passed away yesterday from constipation. 2 days before we took him to the vet and all they did was give us antibiotics. He was my first pet ever, and he was so young. I'm just glad I check on him before he passed and saw he was going. I help him in my arms as he passed, so I'm glad I was there for him.
My hamster died today. And I've been looking for another animal. I know it sounds bad but it's how I cope... :/
Danessa Mae so sorry for your loss ❤️
Oh I’m so so sorry. I can’t even imagine what u are going through. Ik I’m late but I’m really sorry for ur loss xx
man,imma cry now
"hedgehogs need to stay pretty toasty"
me: lives in a constant 30°C or higher climate
Laura Blanco I love good Oll Arizona 130 F last year
I live in Mongolia so um no
My parents were skeptical to get a hedgehog but after doing my research and watching a lot of your videos we are in the process of
getting one!! Thank you so much for such informational videos!!

Took my hedgehog to the vet today and she had worms and they said it was really common!! Where I live I paid $100 for her meds and her cost for the check up
It's actually fairly unusual for pet hedgehogs to get worms - I'm glad to hear you got it taken care of quickly though!
PugPibbleHedgie, Actually it's not very unusual I work at an exotic vet and hedgehogs with worms are one of the most common things we see in hedgehogs. 😊
Lexy Rose why is it so common? is there a reason behind it happening?
Stephanie Moreno, All wild hedgehogs carry worms, Healthy hedgehogs 'develop' a resistance (or immunity) to these worms, which means that the hedgehog itself prevents the worm numbers building up to the point at which they become a problem to the hedgehog (so that normally the hedgehog and its parasites will live in harmony.)
However, if a hedgehogs immunity is reduced (by, for example, a bad injury, disease, starvation or even the stress of hospitalisation) the worms can then multiply unchecked; this will then result in them getting to such high numbers inside the hedgehog that they DO now cause a problem. And basically common sense is that all Hedgehogs are pulled from the wild, no matter if they were bred because generations before them were pulled from the wild. Hope this clears some things up. :)
Lexy Rose hey, yeah for sure. Thanks for the response, I have never heard anyone mention that it is “common” I can see how an added stress could induce an influx, though.
As someone who is about to get his first hedgehog, your videos are a huge wealth of knowledge. Thank you for the help!
I vote for a video on you doing your makeup!
Hahah I've thought about doing it in a vlog one day but still haven't done it!
SAME!!!!!!
YESSSSSSS!!!!!! That would be soooooooo cool!!!!!
She looks so good
I got a hedgehog yesterday!! She got a bit carsick during the ride but it is ok. All of your videos are so helpful, I've been watching them for quite some time and finally got my own baby 🤗
I’m filling an entire binder with things I’ve learned from your channel and I’m going to show it to my mom in a year. I really want a hedgehog but I want to be doing everything right and not being impulsive. Thank you for your help wise hedgehog owner. 🦔💕
I love how knowledgeable and experienced you are about these babies!!! Xoxo i love your vids 💗👍🏻 they are such cute little babies 💗
Thanks hun
Littlelotti's Hartland omg would you consider getting a hedgehog?!
My headgehog gave birth five days ago
my house ranges from 74-78 degrees in temp. i am very lucky i found this channel!
You’re the only one I can watch about this stuff without fast forwarding love your channel
I have my hedgehog in a long tote and I have a heating pad under it and its my 3rd day with him he was a rescue hedgehog and I gave him a bath and the water turned black cuz he was so dirty but he’s clean and in good care now❤️❤️
Did the plastic ever melt from the heat pad?
@@Grape08 nope
I'm glad you're confident enough to film yourself now, that shows a lot of progress with your self love. And you're very pretty, so you don't need to worry
A hedgehog was the perfect choice of pet for us because we're both graveyard shift workers! We see our little guy before shift, after shift, and on our days off, we're all up all night!
This was in perfect timing a was dumb enough to not do my research i bought a rat cage and a wheel that was for a hamster (no hedgehog lived in this) but I changed everything and my hedgehog Jupiter hes living his best life. Thank you
i’m getting a hedgehog after quarantine !
Sent my fiancee out for the bin, told him it needed to be 600 sq inches AT LEAST, he says “oh I got one bigger !!”. He brings it home, I trick it out, put everything in. Seems oddly small. Measure it. 459 sq ft 😑🤔🙄 thanks babe.
I think you mean 459 sq inches. If it was 459 sq ft I don't think it would fit throught the door.
Filipinator 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I’m so dead 💀
I recognise you as “the hedgehog woman” 😂
I'm in Shanghai China and my partner and I found a wild hedghog baby that's about 3 months old. They had a bunch of ticks and mites on 'em, poor thing, we have done the first vet visit and debugging, Jammy is doing great! I am cramming in research too, and I am literally watching your entire playlist on hedgehogs. It's super useful and I think you are beautiful and also funny, so thank you for sharing your hedgie knowledge!
You and your animals are absolutely stunning😍
I’m 25 and got my baby girl Ritalin today.. yes I named her the adhd drug because she’s nuts and runs around like an ADHD child. I love her so much she’s a Cinnamon Hedgie. She’s the sweetest and bonded to me immediately. Today we’ve gone to target and Starbucks and a few other places. She loves kids and dogs and other people. When I was 18 I adopted a hedgehog from a pet shop in Clear lake Texas and the hedgie was only maybe a month old. No belly hair and was smaller than my fingers. It didn’t make it. It took me 7 years to emotionally get over it. I got my baby from a hedgehog rescue and I’m so grateful. Love your videos so informative 🤍
This was wonderful information! I learned so much and thank you!
Pet Adventures haiiii gurll! When your next livestream? :)
Thank you!
Who else is binging all of these heggie care videos for that hedgehog their parents are never gonna let them get?
KittenInTheWilderness YES
Omg YESS (that's pretty sad lol)
ME HAHA
I've been watching your videos for a while, while first wanting to research hedgehogs to convince my parent, and I learned this morning that May 15, we're getting a hedgie! Thank you so much Tori!!!!!!
THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUU IM GETTING A HEDGIE IN 3 WEEKS AND THIS HELPED SO MUCH
Maddie Blasko ayeee |-/
Hannah Collins CLIQUEEEEEE
How is your hedgehog?
WHERE DID U GET HIMMM?
I am so excited...today I finally get to pick up my baby! Been preparing for months and you've helped me learn so much about these animals, once again thank you for such knowledgeable and educational videos! ❤️
Can you please make a video about introducing hedgehogs (and other small animals) to dogs and cats safely.
I don't really introduce my small pets to my dogs and cat! :)
Thank you! I did more research and I will not introduce my hedgehog to my dog.
yes please
Thank you Tori! I love all of your hedgehog videos because their so informative and it's much better than the information online because its coming from a real person with real experience. Thank you for all that you do!
I’m getting a hedgehog tomorrow and really excited to watch this I’m nervous
My parents said I can get a hedgehog if I prove to be responsible. I've watched so many of your video and they've helped so much! Thanks for making these. 💕💕💕💕💕
I love your tips and it is so fun bonding with my hedgehog she has been opening up to me more and guess what I do, your tips!
Lol at the captions 😂😂 these videos are great for constantly educating myself about my hedgie 👍🏻🙋🏼
Hey!! Thank you your hedgehogs vids, I learned a lot and my excitement leveled up because I'm just about to have my hedgehog in a week. 😊
I love your lip color!! Also, thanks for the vid, it helped me out🤗🤗
Getting a hedgehog this friday! Thank you so much for the help. The place I’m going to sells kits and I wanted to make sure I got the right one.
hairless cats are better than you hows ur hedgehog!?
I recently went with my mother to check out a new school, and while the principal gave us a tour, she showed us a room with lots of reptiles and class pets, but they had a hedgehog there because the children wouldn’t take care of it… I offered to take him and I’m researching about them to make sure I have all I need because otherwise the poor thing may be put in a shelter ❤
I’m doing research before going to get one. Always wanted one.
I’ve dreamed of owning a hedgehog for over a decade now and I’ve finally got myself into a position to make that happen! Now I’m doing a bunch of research before I get one and these videos have been extremely helpful thank you so much!
Thanks for this info, and I love how there's storm ASMR in the background xD
I figured this tip out from a friend! If you already have a wire cage, and you’re having issues with heating or you hedgehogs climbing this could be an option for you! My friend cut pieces of fleece to match the sizes of the walls. She used 2 layers to make it thicker, and attached the fleece to inside of the back wall and the 2 side walls. Then she did the same for the front wall, but only did it halfway up so that it would still have some ventilation. It helped insult her cage, and I’m assuming it would prevent climbing as well! It might be cheaper than buying a whole new cage if you already have a wire one!
Thx for the vid. I just convinced my parents to get me one and now I have a lot of information
Getting two hedgehogs next month and I love how helpful you videos are
Thank you so much Tori for this helpful hedgehog care video😊❤️
Thank you for posting all these helpful videos.😁 I’ve watched all the ones on hedgehogs before getting a hedgehog 🦔 Your videos are sooooo helpful😁😁😁😁😁 (btw I love your hair❤️)
I'm getting a hedgehog at the end if the month!!! I'm SO excited! Her name is Kiwi and she is a baby... I git her for my Birthday today!
9:42 That cat tho, it's so cute
i'm really glad i found this because my hedgehog (just turned 2) climbs sometimes and it worries me so much, so it looks like i'm going back to tubs
Hello! I am getting my hedgehog tomorrow, thank you very much for the information!
This was so helpful I was thinking about getting a hedgehog but after watching these I realized a hamster which was my second option would be MUCH better for me
My hedgie Cornelius LOVES running, he could run for around 6 hours a night and after buying a comfort wheel, I regret it so much because of the noise. I will probably be buying the one you suggested soon because he wakes me up constantly
A Comfort Wheel was the very first wheel I ever used for Draco and it was miserable hahah. So I feel ya!
Thank you for making this video! It has helped with my research.
Doing some research on hedgehogs and I’m trying to figure out how to persuade my parents :/ I’ve had 3 guinea pigs before. And there’s a nice breeder in my area. :))
Great video, you are wonderful on camera. Thank you so much!
I’m new to your channel and your vids help a lot!You also have a new subscriber and your pets are adorable :) ❤️❤️😍
You are a hoot. Love your vids. Don't even have a hedgehog, would like one but cant afford up keep. Cue little things.
Please do a few of these because I am currently looking towards getting a hedgehog ❤❤❤
"heating is important to hedgehogs."
*laughs in filipino*
I'm doing research before we make the decision to purchase/adopt a hedgehog as a pet. Could you describe how to set up a bin cage with the heat lamp? I'm worried about something melting.
I agree
O My Glob as long as you have a thermostat connected, nothing will be melting ;) honestly get a thermostat anyways. Best advice I got from this channel! The bulbs get way hot. Keeps your hedgie at a perfect temp. 👍 goodluck!
your eyeshadow is hella gorgeous girl!!!
I will say to anyone considering a hedgehog...HEATING IS ESSENTIAL. My hedgehogs cage was heated but the bulb went out when I was at school and by the time I got home he was hibernating. After lots of time on a heating pad and fork feeding him a scrambled egg, he did come back. Be careful because not everyone is so lucky!!!!!
you are so wonderful!!! thank you for sharing your love of hedgehogs with us
Since I live in Louisiana, it gets really hot (it was like 106 degrees the other day) but when winter comes it can go to negative temperatures were I live, and winter/fall is hunting season so we always have the hand warmers around the house (we have like a bucket full)
OMG I always wanted a hedgehog
Thank you for your help! This information was really helpful
I appreciate you and this video so much
Love ur hedgehog videos I rlly love them and hedgehogs are my dream pets and I’m working rlly hard to get one
im really set on wanting a hedgehog, I live in Nevada. so its always pretty toasty, Ive owned rodents my whole life but my most recent hamster passed last year and we still have all her stuff that she didnt get to use as she passed just as we got it. we got a HUMONGOUS bin for her that is moveable. im so glad we didnt use it so if I do get a hedgehog they dont smell her. im so in love with hedgehogs rn. thank you for all the tips!
This was amazing I learned so much thank you 😊
This video is really informative love it
I’m getting a hedgehog soon her names almond and this helped!
Hey! I live in England near London we get very hot summers but quite cold winters, I am thinking of getting a Pygmy hedgehog and have never owned them before, So I was wondering if I could use a microwaveable heat pad for them? 💕 The one I use for my guinea pigs is covered in fleece? Also our average room temperature is 25 degrees so is this ok?
The heat pads are okay but not as actual heating, just as emergency heating. For actual heating you'll want either a space heater or a ceramic heat lamp. (:
PugPibbleHedgie Ok! Thankyou! I will check those out xx
I know this is a late comment, but I thought it might be helpful. Recently I learned that Aspen bedding is not a good option for hedgies, at least where I live. Normally would use aspen bedding, but apparently most are inhabited by mites. Mites are little bugs that make your hedgehog itch, cause irritation and dry skin, and in my case, make their quills fall out. My vet said that about 95% or aspen bedding is inhabited by mites just for people's information.
I love her!😂 She is so funny! 🤣
My Hedgehogs live in my large bathroom.
The tile is easy to clean and they sleep in towels that I change every other day or everyday if I have to.
I keep my home at 75 degrees… so far they are 4 years old.
I rather clean my tiles every single morning than to clean a cage.
If you don’t like cleaning they are not a pet for you… personally I love to clean my white bathroom spotless so cleaning the room every morning is not difficult for me.
This helped so much I'm getting my Hedgie tomorrow!
Where did u get it?
@@kiracraft4152 I got her from a local exotic pet store. I’m sure you can look one up if they are legal in your state :)
@@soniibunny thank you!! I’m trying to convince my parents to buy me one for Christmas :))
I really don’t have the space for 4 square ft i just thought it had to be kind of big but that’s HUGE
Recently got my new hedgehog and his names ozzy he's getting warmed up to me but I still use gloves bc he's still rlly prickely but other ways great video and yeah bye💖❤️
I am in Arizona and use a vivarium I did put in extra vents though
This was posted on my birthday!!
Hi! I noticed on one of your videos that you have a white thing (cardboard maybe?) inside around your hedgehogs cage. Could you tell me why you have that? Just curious if I need it for my hedgehog as well. Love your videos by the way. Very informative and useful information!
Where do you get fleece? Also I love your videos!
Yes yes yes the heating is extremely important I had a hedge hog who he got to be 4 years old and I live in South Dakota which it gets quite cold here so I would keep a heater on his cage well one year in April a huge ice storm hit like half the state and we were out of power for 3 weeks and no travel any where for the first 4 days in my small now we had red cross but nothing for my little spiky buddy poor guy got very sick and didn't make it
Love the information but could you add pictures of the items you are talking about so if I go searching for a particular item I would get the correct one. Thanks.
My boy dinky sleeps in my pyjama, dressing gown or jumpers hood, if I dont have a good jewelry gets onto my shoulder, under ,y top and then he gets up my sleeve. Hes a funny little guy
I am getting my hedgehog the day after tomorrow. I live in a warm climate so we turn the heat up in our 2 months of semi winter to 23 celcius and in the summer keep it at 25 because it get's real hot here. I bought the ceramic heat transmitter anyway, just in case the temperature in the 2 months of winter isn't correct in the cage. Thanks for all the amazing advice. I ordered a cute set of fleece liner, tunnel and snuggle sack. I can't wait for my girl to arrive 😍 I am used to bonding with small animals, but part of my bonding is not picking them up but let them come up my hand themselves. Do you recommend picking the hedgehog up anyway if she doesn't come up herself? Because i understand the contact is vital in socializing them? Xoxox
ahhh I love the vid! my friend whats to get a 40 gal breeder tank for her hedgehog! would that work?
I know it wasn’t on this video but you suggested using Humilac spray to moisturize our hedgehogs but they don’t sell it anymore. What do you use/suggest now? Also if it’s not a spray how do you apply it? Could you make an updated video? Thanks so much!!
I’m planning on getting a hedgehog soon and I will be using a bin cage and fleece how should I go about getting the fleece to stay at the bottom and not bundle up or come undone?
I was wanting to get a Midwest and sort of take out all ramps and make two floors and put in bins for bedding etc for two desperate hedgies, but here in winter it gets super cold and I always have a fan in my room since I over heat a lot lol. Would there be a way for me to work around the cold and wire cages? Or I guess my question is: will a c & c cage work better? I’ll probably end up ordering a c and c cage. I’ve heard of putting heat lamps then heat pads under he bedding / tunnels/ fleece. And putting hits etc. would this work in a cold room?
Hi! I just adopted a 2 year old male hedgie. He’s a grumpy feisty boy. I’m learning from your videos. Is a nice fleece cage bedding better than wood shavings?
i have my hedgehog in a tank its a really good size for her im going to be getting the same cage you have but she seems to like it but i am getting a cage so its easyer to take her out and put her back in.
Hi! I just got my first hedgehog (she’s quite small, approx 5 weeks). I’ve been watching a lot of your videos but a question I have is; the room I keep her in stays around 25-26 degrees so I don’t think I need to provide her with a heat source. Am I correct?
Ps, love your videos
I am thinking about getting a hedgehog and I was wondering what your thoughts on wheel covers are. I keep seeing them everywhere and they look like a real lifesaver when it comes to cleaning the wheel but I'm not quite sure if they are a good choice or not.
My Hedge cage is a play pen cage I haven't got hedge yet but do I need to know about any boarders for the side or anything
Hi Tori. Doing some research on my (hopefully) future Hoggo.
I'm aware hedgies need to be kept at strict temperatures in their habitats. However, while I recognise certain temperatures could force them to attempt hibernation, I was wondering how long it would take between being out of their habitat and in lower temperatures for that to happen. For instance, were I to take my Hedgie out of his 23C home and play with him for, say, 3 hours in a 14C room, or letting him run around for a few hours, would he be okay with this? How many hours can he be comfortably away from his house safely?
Such a great vid! I can't get a hedgehog, or hammy, or gerbil or anything other than a guinea pig, rat, rabbit, or mouse (ive got mice) because of NZ laws. But when I move to the UK I wanna get a hedgehog. BTW you are so beautiful!
I recently met a hedgehog breeder who gives her hedgehogs (unseasoned) scrambled eggs (without milk) and uses bigger plastic bins to house them. What are your thoughts on this?
