(touches hedgehog)
*EVIL HISS*
"That's okay."
A Small Babby lol
Lol! He just woke the nocturnal thing up! It most of that time trying to go back to bed. I'd hiss at him, too. Our puppy even acts grouchy if we wake him.
Pretty much how pets act, my cat gonna beat the shit out of me if i wake her up and bother her to much
A Small Babby i died lmaoo
It was not a hiss. It was just the wodden material
Guy: "This is how a good hedgehog should act, no matter the age."
Hedgehog: *HISS*
Guy: "That's okay."
LOL
XD
I saw that and I rewinded it and cried 😂
I mean in his defense the hedgehog was just woken up (they nocturnal BTW) and was kinda poking em annoyingly
Hedgehogs Hiss it's normal
I had a hedgehog named Malik, he was pretty antisocial, it took almost a half a year until he started getting used to me, me and my girlfriend had bought him when he was already in his teens, in terms of hedgehog life spans at least. And he was neglected in the store, and was the only one left for weeks, and we knew he wouldn't be bought so well. We bought him, he was an amazing pet for 3 years until cancer took him from us, even though he wasn't the most pleasant hedgehog ever, I still loved him, and still miss him to this day.
Ohhhh I feel so sorry 4 u mate 😓 ... Cancer is either white or black .... It's either u learn from it or hurt & die from it .. I had cancer and I can feel the pain .... But I guess ur hedge is resting now 💖 And hope u will feel better and stronger ✨🙌🏻

OMG YASHAHAH
Years and years ago I wanted a hedgehog so badly. I watched all your videos and ended up getting a really sick and abused one. We didn't bond well and he died from a tumor. Today many years later I got 2 baby hedgehogs. I wouldn't be as educated in them if it wasnt for you thank you!
People are saying their hedgehogs are mean because they handle them like shit. People these days treat their pets like toys rather than living things deserving of respect.
I treat animals fairly except for insects besides bees
Good Girl. Couldn't said it better than that. go read what I wrote -- it's a book, on this page. I get p-oed. BAD p-oed. Nobody would want it done to them.
Umatsu Obossa I agree

This is the best comment ive ever read
I got my hedgie in February. She is my first hedgehog however she was mistreated before I bought her. She’s about two years old and she didn’t run or eat much when I first got her. Her wood chips were all dirty and the bottom of the terrarium was covered in poop. She was very aggressive when I first got her due to her never being handled before. Now I can hold her and play with her. She likes to lay beside me during the day as I read and she sleeps.
How did you get your hedgehog to become more comfortable with you? Mine is a few years old and had at least two previous owners who didn’t seem to socialize with her much when she was younger. I want to bond with her so she can feel more comfortable around me, but every time I get near her hideout, she tends to ball up and hiss-granted I just got her, so I am sure she’s still adjusting to the new environment and the times I have chosen to check on her haven’t always been the best with her sleep schedule either. I know her temperament won’t change overnight, especially since her last owner said she’s super shy, but I am committed to her and would like to know what you’d recommend in order to facilitate that bonding process?
i thought this was like some hedgehog conspiracy video

I once found an injured hedgehog (I live in Greece) and took care of it and had him as a pet for a few days. It was so cute and calm!! I then released it back where i found him.
And him dead
This is the right way. Hedgehogs are no pets and have to live in the wild. They need space and run every night a few miles to find food. In a cage they can't.
He protecc
He atacc
He fit in smol hat
He take nap and run fast
@HecticClipz
He bashes
He dashes
And he eats smol packets
HecticClipz 😂😂😂😂

I got a hedgehog because my friend's friend could no longer take care of theirs... And I'm so happy I got her. The poor thing was never held in her old home! She was well taken care of (kinda, they also didn't know she was missing an eye) and loved, but not handled at all.
She was very grumpy for the first few days or so, but she quickly warmed up to me. I left an old teeshirt of mine that smelled like me and didn't have anything she could hurt herself with and she got my scent in no time. :)
My sweet little Leela is such a joy, and she's come out of her ball!

WHY THE FUCK DID I JUST WATCH THIS? I can't even a purchase a hedgehog where I live lol.
Kira Niotta No but you can adopt one...
Yes she can if she can find someone who has theirs up for adoption. It's illegal where I live, too, but who is really searching your house looking for illegal hedgehogs.
Kira Niotta ooh...wow😮
Kira Niotta Well I can buy an Albino one but I have a ferret already
Kira Niotta I have 4 Hedgehogs
For me, I find it so strange to see hedgehogs in captivity like this, although they look well cared for. I had hedgehogs in my garden back in Ireland and they came there by their own choice. We used to leave food and water for them but they didn't consume much. They were friendly and got used to us. We could pick them up easily. In winter they used to hibernate, so we made boxes of hay for them and they would remain there until spring. They lived in between the trees and flowers in the garden and never went away. They could have gotten out easily if they had wanted to, as a stream ran by the garden and there were open spaces with only wire fencing as borders and no walls. Sometimes foxes would get in at night but hedgehogs don't need to fear them 'cos of their spikey defenses.
I used to pick up hedgehogs in London SW , Wimbledon/Putney etc.. They were quite tame even though they were wild. You may want to watch for fleas as they are almost a factory of fleas. Check yourself when you get home. Some mornings when I opened the door there would be a willing little fella waiting for a snack or three..Eventually I would give them names and later try and figure out who is who..
Sherlock Doyle Ha! I think the flea thing is urban life... the ones we had had no fleas at all.... probably in London people use flea collars on all their household pets so they've nowhere else to go :)
yes urban life John
Sherlock Doyle but y'know England's got quite a diversity of species of birds and animals... it's sometimes understated by conservationists but if you're into photographing or filming, there's quite a lot.
that is quite so...I remember that when I lived over there, a conservationists paradise as it were for such a small nation in scale.
We had a hedgehog family living underneath our wood veranda for a few seasons, they came out of hibernation every summer with a bunch of cubs, and they loooved cat food. They were wild but so nice and friendly to play with when at food-time. The cubs love to be scratched on their belly or under their chin while eating. They are lovely little fellas! Does a priceless "smacking" sound while eating too!
Thought they were suppose to be blue?? childhood ruined.
hahaha lol

+HexSheer yes, indeed! they usually are called hedgehogs because that's what they are ...... ROFL :D
I don’t get why this has dislikes, I mean he’s just telling you what to do before getting a pet
To all the people who are saying that hedgehogs are supposed to be in the wild, that hedgehog looks pretty happy to me. I have 10 hedgehogs and they are all tame and very happy. Wither the hedgehog is raised domesticated or captured/rescued, we should be able to have them as pets.

How much are they? I want to buy one for my niece
To be honest whenever I buy pets I look for those with the least chance of finding a home: the grouchy, the aggressive and the scared ones. The hamster I have at the moment I adopted from a charity after he was given up for being untamable - and I love him to bits.
I don't have or want a hedge hog......... why am I here 😶🤔
Why not
You been watching sonic videos
Because you need they!
Yes you do, now get a hedgehog.
Uhmmm I think that’s for you to figure out. But now maybe you will want one after watching it.
Thanks so much for this video! I was planning on buying a hedgehog. I almost bought a 100 dollar cage or so... but now I realize I can easily make my own hedgehog cage for about 150 dollars
she's like Hey!, you keep moving my home on me
I think it's kind of wrong to tell people to only buy a non aggressive hedgehog. You're saying mistreated hedgehogs are better off being neglected, than to be given love? My hedgehog Silver started off a bit timid, and he's still very scared after having him for a year, but I don't regret adopting him. I love seeing him happy and running on his wheel. He may not have opened up to me yet, but that doesn't bother me.
SpongicX This just lets poor quality breeders keep breeding and selling. Quality breeders pets will be calm and tame. Not buying them cuts off the breeders who are doing the wrong thing. They mistreat and don't do what's best for the animals. Which is why your 1 year hedgehog is still scared, yet, all hedgehogs I sold at 3 months were socialized, tame, calm, & easy to handle.
I bought mine at a legal pet store in Burlington Iowa, and the workers there seem to show a lot of care and respect for their pets. Not all animals are born to have the same nature as others. You can't always blame an animal's behavior on whoever bred or sold them. I also only got my hedgehog when he was 3 months old, so he wasn't able to adapt to my home as early as some other hedgehogs may have.
My hedgehog has matured a lot since back than. Although he is still huffy at times, the fact that he's able to quickly uncurl and lower his quills shows a lot of improvement. Hedgehogs are naturally scared creatures. I'd rather by a hedgehog from a legal pet store, than to buy one from a total stranger who may not have a legal permit to sell their hedgehogs. Plus, we never know how those hedgehogs are bred either, so it can go both ways. The pet store I bought mine from isn't a big industrial type petshop, it's a very small pet shop that sells mice, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, hedgehogs, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. They breed their animals, and don't sell them until they make sure the pets are old enough and healthy enough to be presented. They also sell food and nutrients for the animals. If they really didn't treat their animals well, then I don't see how their pets for sale are already in decent sized cages with a good supply of food and water.
I read up on hedgehogs before buying mine, and I was warned it is better to trust authorized pet stores, than it is to trust some breeder selling them from their house, or through a delivery website.
SpongicX I think it's more directed towards those that have never owned one before.
+Sparke Cat Silver was my first hedgehog though.
But he was timid sometimes hedgehogs can be aggressive. and thats not a good hedgehog to have they may be small but they can hurt someone pretty bad if not seriously.
The hedgehog is like wtf man I’m trying to sleep
My 7 month old hedgehog(Hercules) acts just like yours. He is a sweetie, he loves to play and then curl up in my lap and sleep. He is the cutest little thing ever and I am happy with him.
I remember a few years ago there was a hedgehog in my driveway and it was sooo cute and little, and we managed to get it back into the garden so it wouldn’t get run over but my heart couldn’t handle how cute it was
Daddy lifts up the hut,
Headgehog: oh, looks like another day of being a movie star.

Wow, this bin is not even small, like some people are complaining. It's plenty big. We humans have bedrooms that are mostly small-medium sized, and we're fine. People always find something to complain about.
Are you confined to your bedroom your entire life? Sure he looks small and snug, but you have to take into consideration that a wild hedgehog typically roams between 10 - 20 hectares per year. Now you could argue that he's domesticated, so he doesn't need to roam that much, but would you keep a domesticated cat or a dog in a cage with the same proportions of body size to cage size? Of course you wouldn't.
+Jeremy Meehan this is a in breed listen. if u grown up on the street then u are used to it. but a rich men if he needs to live on the street, and still has friends that give something to eat to him. its still harder for the rich guy since he didnt grow up like that. a in breed never have lived in a big space like hectare. im sure if u leave him in his natural habitat in real life he wouldnt survive it.
+Jeremy Meehan if u are raised in a mansion and u move in a villa its small for u. if u are raised in a caravan camp and u move in a house its big for u, and u maybe dont even like that.
Melie92 I agree, plus hedgehogs mostly stay in their hide anyway. Like I don't have a hedgehog, but I want one, and my cousin has a guinea pig and he's always in his little box and he only comes out to eat.
Melie92 you have a choice to leave your room and go outside. Something you hold captive and think it likes you don't have that choice. Its Stockholm Syndrome, it shares a mutual benefit with you, so it tolerates you at best. You don't think so leave the door open or animal on the ground see if it sticks around for you.
I wasn’t thinking of getting a hedgehog for a pet, but they are super adorable and amazing creatures
That was actually funny. The hedgehog u can tell was gettin pissed off like "damn u put my house back" type a thing. Yah I want one now. Lol.

+- ThePenguinOre - There's a difference between a "rip-off" and "inspiration". Besides, something turning into gold to represent an increase in power, as well as being capable of flight and superhuman speed and strength, dates back to ancient human mythology, long before the Dragonball Z and its fanbase ever emerged.

Andi R there’s always someone out there that doesn’t like something . I’m thankful for this video speaking for myself !
Andi r Well done looking after it then releasing back out where they belong. I look after them when they need it and they tend to stay in my back garden. That's the problem with man interferes and takes over. No wonder so many species of animals plants trees hectare near on extinct
How about getting the Hedgehog a bigger place to move around in and more privacy to sleep.
That is really big
And at least an 11.5 inch wheel...
big? in my country they must have at least a livingroom sized space ( 20kvm).. i have my hedgehog way too small at the moment (he had a surgery) and it's still 50 times bigger than this.
Yes, well said.
Lucideans I have a vivarium getting made for mine and its housing now is still bigger than this. He doesnt have a wheel for the poor thing to run on either. they have alot of energy to burn off at night!
Can it collect rings And Do Spin Dashes
I have always wanted one but have dogs, but I do have a lot during the warm weather and always feed them. Every year they come back and bring their little family along, they are endangered in the UK due to people using harmful pesticides so it's nice to see them in my neighbourhood ♥️♥️
where can you find the fast blue hedgehogs just kiddin
I've seen one; You have to go to a planet named Mobius.
lol
Zen Dedenne No really, It's true. :nod:
Oh
Zen Dedenne ...Why not go to a rocket ship and head to Mobius? :P
Also, bear in mind that if you do get a hedgehog as a pet, you should allow it to sleep as much as possible through the day with minimal disturbance as many of us know they are nocturnal.
the hedgehog was like : why u move my house bro i was sleepinggg
I had an extremely grumpy hedgehog that we rescued from a family that really neglected him. He had all sorts of medical issues with deformed quills and eventually went blind in 1 eye. He passed from cancer about a year ago but I do miss hearing the wheel tumbling in the middle of the night.
My hedgehog is nice and likes to eat butterfingers.
That's good that it's sweet. But, I really hope you don't feed it butterfingers... That is horrible if true.
The hedgehog eats other things but he finds butterfingers but I let him have them barley often.
Massco LLC Butterfingers are horrible for humans, and worse for hedgehogs. Please don't feed any candy to your hedgehog. Only high quality cat food, insects (live or freezedried), and some fruits and veggies (look up a list online of what fruits and veggies are safe for hedgehogs).
Well,that is true.But my hedgehog almost never eats butterfingers and well,he is holding one right now.He likes the feel of the wrapper.I will be getting a kangaroo tomorrow.

1:32 thats the most terrible thing ive ever heard. I was a neglected child, beaten down, depressed, felt like i didnt belong anywhere, felt like i didnt have a purpose in life and that my life didnt matter all because everyone rejected me just like you're saying to do for pets who have been neglected. All i even wanted was for someone to hold and tell me they love me. I grew up in a family that treated me like i was an adopted child and never told me they loved me, always ignored me. I was always on my own and all i wanted was for someone to just show me they cared. And thats all animals want too. They wont trust you at first, no child or animal will thats been mistreated. They think you're just like everyone else. You have to prove that your different to them. And when you do. That child or animal will become unbelievably loyal, because it will fight to the death to keep what it tried so hard to get. Just show people and animals love. Thats all that we really want
5G will kill us unless we dont stop it oh god bro what’s up with the life story? Yeah man I get it but it’s a bit much for just a vid about educating people about hedgehogs
I shall adopt you as my hedgehog

My hedgehog loves her wheel. Only problem is that she poops in it when she runs. So we constantly have to clean the wheel.
Everyone has the poop on wheel problem. Its just how they are xD
My hedgehog does this too, but I make a rule to clean it as soon as I notice there is the tiniest bit of poop. That way it doesn’t build up, and take forever to clean. 👍🏼

Hedgehog: "what the fuck man! Why does my cave keep disappearing!?!"
Wild hedge hogs belong in the Wild but clearly this little fella was born & raised domesticated. So therefore for the chick that keeps crying about how they belong in the Wild, this one does not. If it's bred as a pet than it is a pet.
I cant even buy them in CA so no need for this. Thanx for the wet dream.
You can get a permit if you live in California where it's illegal to get a hedgehog. Look it up on the Internet. There's a website
apothic D ACTUALLLY... You can't BUY one, but you can ADOPT one if you don't mind ordering necessities online. Most times vets won't tell because they would much rather see you illegally have an animal and it is taken care then tell and it is confiscated and they do god knows what with it.
Wtf man, getting turned on by hedgehogs 😂😂😂
What why
This is why California is the equivalent to hell
I don't think hedgehogs are 'mean' that's anthropomorphism, bit I think they are a product of their environment. I believe, and I know this won't be everyone's opinion, that with the right care and attention an animal can turn their behaviour around. Good on you for sharing and showing us how much you care for your hedgehog!
When i was 5.. i thought the spikes of my hedgehog is soft so i lifted it from the back and... You know what happened next XD
Hi, i just got a hedgehog a month ago. And now my hedgehog is sick, i want to take it to see a vet, but my father say that there have no vet that treats hedgehog. My father wants me to have some preparation because he said that it will going to died soon. Can you help me ?
secret teoh What is wrong with the hedgehog? How old is it? I'm sure there are vets nearby that would look at it.
secret teoh Also does your hedgehog have proper temperature over 75F? I ask because it's winter and any under 74F can cause hedgehog to get ill and die.
Earthling1984 my hedgehog is 4 month old, and it spikes and its dander Is always falling. In addition, the place i live don't have winter.
Earthling1984 and my hedgehog also don't have any appetite
secret teoh When hedgehogs are young, they lose their quills to get adult quills. I don't know about the dander.
If he hisses at you every time you try to pet him how do you play with him?
Hissing is they're normal sound. Like a dog barks or a cat meows. It's not aggressive.
Interesting.
Kostas1601 I have read that when you first get a hedgehog they are very timid and will hiss because it's a new home and their scared. it's best to let them explore and slowly let them get used to you. plus they get grumpy when you wake them up. it's sad that the owner of this hedgehog keeps chasing after it only making it more scared and not giving the poor dear space. All this owner showed was what not to do with a hedgehog.
but to clearly answer the question you don't start playing or petting the hedgehog until they are used to you but you can hold a hedgehog on the first day. From what I have read Hedgehogs can be more timid about petting but it depends on the hedgehog but don't stress out one it can be bad for health. The best way to pet a hedgehog is let them smell you then pet head first and over the spines.
by not being intimidated by the hissing
He turned over like “hey what’s going on here”? So cute
Shes beautiful 😁
25th like 😄
Man i want a hedgehog ;/ id name em sonic
Kairu Xancoto You're original
:before you buy a hedgehog watch this. I’m like “Too late man”
I heard some grunting one night outside my window and to my surprise there were two hedgehogs so I decided to give the some cat biscuits, they now come back every night, at the most there have been four of them eating up the free feed, its fun to watch and listen to them fight over the food, they're so cute
Whenever I hear people say there hedge hogs bites I get so confused by this because I own over 6 and only one time a hedge hogs tryed to bite and it was only because he thought my hand had a meal worm but other then that I never had trouble with them one bit!
Yeah, I've had over 50 hedgehogs. Not a single one has bitten. All depends on who bred them, how they were socialized and tamed when young, etc.. There are lots of bad breeders out there and people who neglect pets. So, as with any type of animal, it is a possibility. But, I agree, never been an issue for me either.
Earthling1984 I agree, you really gotta do your research when talking to breeders! Luckily all of my hogs were amazing even my albino one! But also like you said you gotta be committed to them and handle on a daily.. that's why I stopped getting hedge hogs because I just don't have the time to commit to them right now. But someday again I will start back up on those little beauty's!

So we rescued a hedgehog from a drain gutter and he bit once then for everyday we held him and now he's the sweetest hog ever ❤️And such a kind soul and never bit again! It's only been 4 days and he is already friendly ❤️
simone kapral Cool that you saved him! But, is this a wild hedghehog? Would be rare for a pet hedghehog to be outside and lost. So, I assume it is wild. You need to release it. I know you saved it and are now attached; but, that hedghehog has lived it's whole life outdoors. Outside and living wild is what it knows. It's not fair to change its whole life and make it a pet.
I know they run really fast, i don't need an advise on hedgegogs :b
Rammus: Ok
TheGuyWhoCantFly Ha, I see what you did there
what is a hedgehogs Staple Food ??? can i use hamster food for hedgehogs ??
+Martin Legaspi You cannot use hamster food for hedgehogs. Hamster food is completely different and very wrong for hedgehogs. You should use a high quality cat food, some insects (I use freezedried mealorms), and some veggies & fruits.
Earthling1984 but can i use fruits or vegetables as a staple food ?
Cat food for their main diet.
Earthling1984 ok thanks
+Martin Legaspi you could just get hedgehog food
I'm trying to convince my parents to let me have one. I love hedgies so muchhhh
Did you get one?
Thanks for posting
One of HIS sweetest lil animal buddies
what's so bad about water bottles?
Nothing.
Earthling1984 no i'm sure that there isn't anything bad about them i'm just curious as to what could possibly be the issue. what are people claiming is the problem? is it difficult for them to drink or something?
Earthling1984 also i'm curious about the fact that you said that they never bite but a lot of other people talk a lot about self anointing and that the hedgehogs will do it every time they encounter a new smell and its really painful even if it doesn't break the skin? its my understanding that this is a natural behaviour, have you really never encountered this before?
I've had zero problems with water bottles. People think it can chip their teeth. My 8 year old hedgehogs teeth are fine. Annointing doesn't involve biting. It's just them doing a weird lick to themselves. I have videos on this. I have never been bitten by a hedgehog.
my friend igeneral got a hedgehog from a mouse trap 😊 hes buying a cage soon
How do you clean the hedgie's cage? I haven't had one yet but I really want one, and I was thinking: Won't the poop mix with the bedding? How do you get rid of the poop?
***** So am I supposed to replace the bedding everytime I clean the cage to get rid of the poop?
Couldn't I train my hedgie to go to the potty?
***** ..Yeah, thanks. I think now I'm just going to wait a few years until I'm on my own financially and I'll have a driver's license because irght now I'd anger the crap out of my parents to ask for so much, so often.
Fleece bedding is a great option. You just have to wash it and shake the poo into the trash. It is extremely easy to litter train them. But just know they will also go elsewhere ever now and then. Having a litter box underneath their wheel is perfect because they poo mostly when they are running. Wheel wise I recommend the California bucket wheel.
Pro tip: they GOTTA GO FAST
SONIC MEME XD..
They're like toys. They look regular when they're being observed, but when you get away from them, they come alive, turn blue, and run at the speed of sound.
i hope u hedgehog get some large groud u know
Make me bit sad thinking hes always in dat box
That's a very big house
+Dr Jean Dr Jean no it isn't. That'd be like a human in a tiny house. Against their will.
He takes it out everyday
lainey marie you keep commenting this stuff and I have to say you are an idiot. You are obviously projecting your own human fears onto the animal. These are not humans. In fact you will find in the wild that they burrow and sleep in shallow spaces. They prefer a small cozy hideout. Plus the guy obviously takes his hedgehogs out to play everyday. This space is merely his sleeping quarters.
JackLT13 when my hedgehog sleeps heese in his sleeping box and then his playing box is like 50 times as big as his cage
As i an asian guy. I feed my hedghog with rice.
I was about to make a joke about you eating the hedgehog
@@stronkknight stfu racist
@bri stone Just because you didn't ask doesn't mean you didn't need to be told
:3 I've always wanted a hedgehog but I'm only a child and this is my dads old phone and mom might say no
I’m really wanting to get a Pygmy Hedgehog 🦔 soon and this is SOOOO helpful thank you so much.
