Hi!!! I have a hedgehog and i am still sitting alone in my bedroom because my hedgehog hates me. I had him for 7 months, fed him everyday, and offered some snacks, but no matter what i do he doesn't want to hang out with me :'(
I used to own a hedgehog (that unfortunately died months ago from old age :c) but she was a breeder her whole life. She was grumpy, just wanted to eat and then sleep. I found so much things in this video that were a big part of why her and I bonded so much eventually. I gave her a long time to get used to her home, but after holding her everyday, putting my shirt in her little hut to cuddle with, and the rest of the tips in this video, she would wake up everytime she heard me come home from school and climb up on her cage until I would hold her. It was so cute. I miss her, but I'm hoping to get a new baby one soon. So thank you for this video!
TheSubatomicPlatypus yes they can dumbass just try getting your hand close and aggrivating it, it injects a few quills with venom to infect the predator, however they grow again and the quills are tooken out safely if you are careful
My hedgehog is like the complete opposite of all the hedgehogs I've heard of. He is 2 months old and he was never shy, not even when we picked him up for the first time at the breeders. He loves to be pet, and often looks for it, I've only ever heard him hiss once (my cat got too close), he doesn't get grumpy when I take him out during the day, and he often happily sits in my sweater pocket and goes everywhere with me during the day, either sleeping in my pocket, or poking his head out to meet new people.
I own a pretty grumpy hedgehog, and like you said they still need to be cared for even if they don't necessarily enjoy human company. You make a choice when you own a pet to care for it even if it's not what you expected it to be as a pet.
so funny story, about 4 years ago my gf and I adopted a cat (Cirrus) and after a few months it was apparent that he needed a cat friend (and I wanted another) so we adopted another cat (Nimbus) from some guy living in a log cabin in the middle of nowhere... well he was feral and 3 years later he's only just starting to kinda sorta trust us.... He doesn't love us but we love him lol
Jasmine Edwards if you beeed any animal without knowing what you are doing they can potentially get hurt some animals may die. So I just said to make sure you know what you are doing so you do not end up hurting the hedgehogs
1. Do not leave your hedgehog for a few days when they get home, make sure you are handling them for at least 30 minutes a day especially when you first get them. This is because they need to become familiar to you and your scent because if your hedgehog does not and you suddenly start introducing them to something new as soon as they have gotten used to their new home, bonding with your hedgie will be much more difficult... trust me, I know from experience as a proud owner of 3 boys. 2. If you are petting the underside of your hedgehog please don't keep them underside up for to long, this position is where they are most vulnerable and it will make them nervous and skittish (I know this is random but It was not said in the video and I think it is quite important) That's it lol, this video was great don't get me wrong but I had to point out these things :) also wow I can't believe you read this entire thing 😂
If you ever happen to get this, I’ve had my hedgehog for just over 2 days now and I haven’t held him I have just left him in the cage for a while with my T-shirt in there. Is now a good time to try to pick him up or something like that
She’s so tame and friendly! She’s even licking you 😚 I’m watching my sisters for a few weeks and she’s not very friendly, I want to help socialize her more while I’m here. This is very helpful!
Youre joking... right? Processed foods could kill nearly any pet. Except for dogs, which habe the strongest animal immune system, so they will eat nearly anything you give them and dont even get me STARTED on what would happen if you feed spicy food.
My hedgehog is the sweetest baby. I got her as a rescue for Christmas as a gift to my dad And ever since day one she's been so sweet. She's also spoilt with lots of treats she was never given before (she doesn't know what any food is aside from cat food so it's interesting to explore new foods with her.) She also sleeps in my bed. She likes to have a pillow when sleeping for some reason and lies flat on her stomach and I find she sleeps for much longer and more easily in my bed than her cage. (She has cage issues that I'm working on. Part of her being a rescue. Previous owners kept her in a cage too small for her to turn around even.)
Awesome video! I love the evening hedgie cam! It was so adorable when she was playing with the paper tube and she really was going to town on that green pepper haha!
Lmao the part where you said to hold your hedgehog everyday, that part is so true. When I was still new to hedgie owning, I would go sleep at a friend’s place for the night and my hog would be alone for the night in his cage. But the next morning when I come back, I get the cold shoulder from my boy. He’ll huff at me, bite me and spike up a lot more than he would’ve if I slept in the room. Strange how just being gone for the night can make him mean 😂
I'm currently about three and a half months into the bonding process with my baby hedgehog, he's a grumpy boy but really good with humans already and is fearless with my dogs who are twice his size (they're only small dogs but he's only a small hoglet). The one thing he really loves to do is get under my quilt while I lie and play my switch in bed. He runs around under it and climbs me like an obstacle course. I find when we've done that he doesn't use his wheel in the night at all, it must tucker the little boy out. He eventually cuddles up in my elbow or my knee crease and falls asleep for an hour or two before I take him to his home again. I'm really glad that I've naturally learned these tips you've mentioned. I just watch for his behaviour and he has taught me so much about how I may be the caregiver but he knows best. I couldn't ask for a better pet. Honestly if anybody is thinking of getting a pet with some character but can't have anything as big as a cat or dog, I wholly recommend Hedgehogs. For kids they have a direct understanding that these small animals can hurt. They can see those spines and know they don't want that pain, whereas with fluffier animals they don't always see the teeth that are going to hurt. It's a wonderful learning experience and I didn't think I could love an animal quite as quickly as I adore my grumpy boy.
My hedgie is weird. She doesn't like to eat anything but her kitten food (although recently she took meal worms into consideration surprisingly). She actually seems happier if i wake her up during the day because once she wakes up she seems pretty active and not tired. When i get her up at night or take her out when she's already awake, she seems more grumpy. By grumpy i mean she will hiss when i move her or touch her or sometimes just hiss at nothing (she doesn't spike up though). So from my experience I prefer to wake her up in the after noon to play with her and take her on a walk :)
My imaginary hedgehog 🦔 ran away to a land where they sell chili dogs daily for free, bought red shoes, striped himself blue, and was creating plans to combat a red bearded guy. Weird. I’ve failed my hedgehog.
I am 12 years old. I went away to my dads house for a month and when I got back my hedgehog neither liked of remembered me. She bit me. Hard. Four times. Anyway my mom asked this lady on Facebook what to do and she said to take them out during the daytime and put them in a snuggle sack with you so they can sleep and bond. I had her out for most of the day, and it worked like a charm. When she woke up in the nigh, and smelled me she was so excited and CRAWLED ONTO MY HAND!
I am so glad I found this video ^^ I just got my first hedgehog for my 21st birthday, I named her Lulu (after my favorite League of Legends Champion) and I am just in awe with her. I noticed that my hedgie does a lot of the same things yours does. (Hides when I bring her out with the light on in my room) Sometimes I'll hear her scuddling around and it will wake me up but I don't mind at all. I'll just look at her with the night vision on my camera. :D I also have her in my room where it is quiet and well.. It smells like me in this room but I was wondering whether or not to put a shirt of mine in her hedgie sleeping bag. Will definitely do it now though! She loves her meal worms and I usually give them to her when she's on my bed. I am not new to raising exotic animals so I'm glad that I'm on the right path and this video has definitely helped me as well!
MissGabsarella I know this comment is from like 5 years ago but i found it cool how i also named my hedgehog after one of my favorite league of legends champs, Leona! I was also thinking about naming her Lulu though, because that’s actually my main lol. Just thought it was cool!
SWEGTA Shout GATTA GO FAST, create a giant traffic route, get arrested. Police: "Why did you do this, and why did you shout 'Gotta go fast'?" "GATTA GO FAST-" *Music starts playing and you blow through the walls and run away crapping rainbows*
My hedgehog is 3 years old and has barely been touched in her life so she is ALWAYS scared and it makes me so sad but we will bond till we are the best of friends 😁😁😁
I just went to a friends house yesterday and she had a pet hedgehog and now im doing research on them and I REALLY want one! They are just so cute! UwU
DaltonJB11_MC "How does you tame sanic? He would get fast and sped out of there." Step 1: Find Sanic. Step 2: Throw a chili dog at him. Step 3: If it works you can now go fast. Optional Step 4: If it fails, assume it's a pokemon battle and use Tails the Derpy Ninetailed Fox. Also throwing more chili dogs increases the catch rate. Your welcome lol
+DaltonJB11_MC u keep him in a cage :PPP and he runs in the gaps and climps andrund awayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
thank you for a video...really useful.I just collected my little girl and she is really grumpy. new home and quiling at this same time, I hope she will handle well one day as for now is painful to watch her stressed. thank you again.will use your tips
Thanks for the video!! So many great tips! I'm looking into buying a hedgehog by wanted to make sure I got done insight on how to handle and care for them first to see if this could be a pet for me, Thanks again, keep up the awesome uploads
You are the person who go me into wanting a hedgehog and I never got to say thanks because now I have a hedgehog of my own and soon this April he is turning one :-) and I love or videos
Thank you SO MUCH for this video!! I have a beautifull hedgehog named Margarita and sometimes I feel she hates me because she always crawls into a ball when I try to pick her up and she poops in my hand so I feel like I'm making her super uncomfortable and I get scared that she will never love me haha. I've had her for 2 weeks and we are still getting used to each other, she is the first hedgehog i've ever had so I want to make sure that I'm doing everything the right way :D
I had no idea hedgehogs were so cute. Didn't even really know what they looked like until watching your videos. Shows how naive I am. Sonic was my only reference.
I just want to say thank you for all your videos! They've helped me so much, and I now know how to care for my little girl, Stormfly. I just got her today, and she seemed very happy with me and her new home. :D
It is a very good idea to try hand feeding them so they will associate your scent with food. My girlfriend has a hedgehog and she got him to accept her quickly when she started smelling like food.
Hi! Yesterday I got my first ever hedgehog named Doug. He is in a cinnamon color and he's is 1 year old. All his life he has been a breeder. The guy that had him before just wanted him to breed with an albino to make a rare kind of hedgehog worth more money so he could sell those. Then he sold Doug to our pet store and we have always wanted one, so we got it. He is in a 42-18 inch bunny cage with a hut, water bottle, 12 inch wheel, food dish and toilet paper roll. He is very very skidish and jumpy. You can't do anything near him with out him rolling into a ball and hissing. Its always quite frightening to go and pick him up when he wants nothing to do with you. Do you (or anyone else reading this) have any tips? I'm going to put one of my tee shirts in there for him and were going to start handling him in a day. So yeah please help!
One of my hedgehogs is pure rage. When we decided to introduce her to our cats, she immediately started bullying them. Then she realized she could cause more pain with bites than poking…
I LOVE your videos! I just got my hedgie a week ago, and tonight was our first bath time. Your video came in handy and then I found these! THANK YOU!!! :)
My dad use to breed them when I was a young child and I held them constantly and even when I played my Super Nintendo they would curl up in my lap and I use to take them in my sand box and my neighbor who was 2 years younger and i built them tunes and trenches but they would go in the hand made caves and sleep it's funny looking back that I never had one get loose on me Nor do I remember them ever biting me they had bite my neighbor and my parents but not me
Hi! I have a pillow that had fabric sewed on top of it and there is a rip in the fabric. She LOVES to sleep in the pillow (not the inside where there is the stuffing but inside the fabric area that was sewed onto it). Its very roomy there so it wont suffocate her or anything but i want to ask your opinion on if thats okay to continue letting her do that?
Just wanted to let you know your video has helped me a lot. I just got my first hedgehog and she was quite grumpy. But these tricks seem to be helping her be less grumpy.
okay i just need to add something a way you can tell if a hedgehog is playful, sweet, and energetic is if their quills are down flat on their back because if they're pointed up it means they're grumpy, mean, or aggressive so if you want a nice hedgehog look at their quills but if you don't care if its nice or mean it doesn't matter because its your choice ;)
Hi! I just picked up my baby hedgehog today. When I met the breeder she let me hold her but once we got home she hasn't let me touched her at all so I've been trying to give her space. How long do you think I should wait to try to touch her again and what kind of snacks or treats do hedgies like and dislike? Also how should I go about bathing her? Should I just let her walk around in the water for a while with some dawn soap or should I scrub her? Anyways thanks for the videos! Your hedgie is very cute!
They eat cat food,I preffer Royal Canin.Don't use soap,they don't like it.Just let him walk around.Make sure the water is hot.It isn't weird if she/he doesn't like being holded,hedgehogs like being alone.Buy him a wheel,like those for hamsters but it has to be bigger and plastic,they can't spin,on the wire ones.Let him roam around the room at night and make sure there's nothing that he can get stuck in or that could possibly hurt him.Get him a rabbit cage.Make him a cardboard house,so he can go in it and sleep.They sleep a lot.Put pellets in the cage,and some stuff which I forgot the name of.And make sure to use gloves while holding him,because they jump and shake when you try to pick them up.They also breathe extremely fast when you try picking them up,it's normal.
@@aleksandraradicevic8006 you should not use gloves as they won't get used to your scent. And do some research on what food because they need certain percentages of fat and protien
Question: which is easier for young kids coz me and my brother are gtting 1 and hes 10 and aint rlly use 2small animals. or are they both easy to care 4 once understod what to do?
hi I'm new to ur channel and I really want a hedgehog but never had one before so can u give me some tips of how to take care of it and how to make it happy plz.
awesome Angelina well, first you will need a cage. I recommend C&C cages, or large rabbit cages. You will need to get a wheel for them, but make sure it is a solid wheel. They cannot run on wire wheels. For food, you can use cat food, I used to use Royal Canin, but I switched. If you are going to feed them cat food, I recommend Royal Canin. I'm currently feeding my hedgie Mazuris Insectivore diet. They will need sleeping pouches, blankets and huts for comfort and to sleep in. Oh and mealworms and crickets are considered a treat, so don't feed them too many. 5 - 10 is best. Make sure the room temperature is 75 - 65 F. Take them to the vet for yearly checkups. And make sure the room you have them in is quiet, and doesn't have strong smells as they have sensitive hearing and smelling. That's about all you need.
Hi I am only a 11 but would love a hedgehog as my granddad us to have a wild one in his garden and have research a lot I live in the uk so it is a bit unusual to own one do you think you could give me some advice as I am only 11 . Thank you
I'm 11 too! But I live in Canada I would suggest you go for the most cheapest things and then later on upgrade I love these creatures and would love one I would order it online or at a pet store ask your parents about it and see if there ok with it. And tell them you will be responsible because they are a big thing to think about
Enchanted64 You can look online to see if there's a breeder near you that is selling an african pygmy hedgehog. Ask your parents if it's okay for you to have one. You should understand that hedgehogs can be a bit harder to cuddle than dogs, so make sure you have the patience and time to take care of them. :)
Never feed them MEALWORMS NOT GOOD FOR THEM WOULD U FEED YOUR CHILDREN CAKES SWEETS CHOCOLATE EVERY DAY. WE HAVE 5 that come to our garden use to give them MEALWORMS but was advised not to extremely bad for them and that came from a HEDGEHOG SPECIALIST WHO TAKE CARE OF LAST COUNT WAS 35 please do not give them mealworms. Hope that helps.
Here I am, sitting all alone in my bedroom, watching a video on how to tame a hedgehog. I don't even own a hedgehog. I'm gonna be forever alone

Do hedgehogs have the pokey things like porcupines
Silje Ostrem yes
TheSubatomicPlatypus yes they can dumbass just try getting your hand close and aggrivating it, it injects a few quills with venom to infect the predator, however they grow again and the quills are tooken out safely if you are careful
No

MissGabsarella I know this comment is from like 5 years ago but i found it cool how i also named my hedgehog after one of my favorite league of legends champs, Leona! I was also thinking about naming her Lulu though, because that’s actually my main lol. Just thought it was cool!
Boy do these sound like a ball of fun...only can play with them at night and they're always scared, grumpy, or sleeping is what I got from this.
Thanks my hedgehog was running around loops and had a friend that was a fox with two tails that could fly. Now since I tamed him he is fine now.
Aydan
Hah I get it
Was his friend also an red echidna that could destroy walls?

how doez u tam sanic? he wold g3t f4st an sped 0ut of th3r3.
English please.
DaltonJB11_MC "How does you tame sanic? He would get fast and sped out of there." Step 1: Find Sanic. Step 2: Throw a chili dog at him. Step 3: If it works you can now go fast. Optional Step 4: If it fails, assume it's a pokemon battle and use Tails the Derpy Ninetailed Fox. Also throwing more chili dogs increases the catch rate. Your welcome lol

I have a year old hedgehog. She was fine when I first got her, now she's all grumpy. This video helped quite a bit.
The intro seems like an intro to a sitcom haha love it!
You are the person who go me into wanting a hedgehog and I never got to say thanks because now I have a hedgehog of my own and soon this April he is turning one :-) and I love or videos
is ur hedgehog still alive?
She looks so cute when she eats
Thank you SO MUCH for this video!! I have a beautifull hedgehog named Margarita and sometimes I feel she hates me because she always crawls into a ball when I try to pick her up and she poops in my hand so I feel like I'm making her super uncomfortable and I get scared that she will never love me haha. I've had her for 2 weeks and we are still getting used to each other, she is the first hedgehog i've ever had so I want to make sure that I'm doing everything the right way :D
" And they might explore you," Like... how.... uh.... stay in the pocket... stay... in... the pocket...!
I had a hedgehog it was blue and really fast I named it sonic
I had no idea hedgehogs were so cute. Didn't even really know what they looked like until watching your videos. Shows how naive I am. Sonic was my only reference.
I just want to say thank you for all your videos! They've helped me so much, and I now know how to care for my little girl, Stormfly. I just got her today, and she seemed very happy with me and her new home. :D
Stormfly? Wtf
You deserve more subs and I am not kidding about it, you are so good at recording and everything XD
Gotta go fast!
No. Just no.
***** rude
Quill Productions yes.just.yes
Why am I watching this? I don't even have a hedgehog! XD
I’m getting a hedgehog this week and this has helped a lot thank you so much ☺️💕
When you picked the hedgehog up it started licking you and it was so cute!
I'm about to get a hedgie and I was scared she might be mean, now I feel better. thank you!!!
It is a very good idea to try hand feeding them so they will associate your scent with food. My girlfriend has a hedgehog and she got him to accept her quickly when she started smelling like food.
Hi! Yesterday I got my first ever hedgehog named Doug. He is in a cinnamon color and he's is 1 year old. All his life he has been a breeder. The guy that had him before just wanted him to breed with an albino to make a rare kind of hedgehog worth more money so he could sell those. Then he sold Doug to our pet store and we have always wanted one, so we got it. He is in a 42-18 inch bunny cage with a hut, water bottle, 12 inch wheel, food dish and toilet paper roll. He is very very skidish and jumpy. You can't do anything near him with out him rolling into a ball and hissing. Its always quite frightening to go and pick him up when he wants nothing to do with you. Do you (or anyone else reading this) have any tips? I'm going to put one of my tee shirts in there for him and were going to start handling him in a day. So yeah please help!
Just pick him up and hold him until he relaxes, and just keep handling him on a daily basis(:
I’m getting mine in August, so excited!
One of my hedgehogs is pure rage. When we decided to introduce her to our cats, she immediately started bullying them. Then she realized she could cause more pain with bites than poking…
lmaoo a freaking menace 😭😭😂
GOTTA GO FAST!!
THATS NO GOOD 2 SLO GOTTA GO FAST
I LOVE your videos! I just got my hedgie a week ago, and tonight was our first bath time. Your video came in handy and then I found these! THANK YOU!!! :)
With my hedgehog, it all depends on the day 🤷🏽♀️ some moments she’s sweet and friendly, some days she’s all spikes. It’s going on two years with her
My dad use to breed them when I was a young child and I held them constantly and even when I played my Super Nintendo they would curl up in my lap and I use to take them in my sand box and my neighbor who was 2 years younger and i built them tunes and trenches but they would go in the hand made caves and sleep it's funny looking back that I never had one get loose on me Nor do I remember them ever biting me they had bite my neighbor and my parents but not me
Hi! I have a pillow that had fabric sewed on top of it and there is a rip in the fabric. She LOVES to sleep in the pillow (not the inside where there is the stuffing but inside the fabric area that was sewed onto it). Its very roomy there so it wont suffocate her or anything but i want to ask your opinion on if thats okay to continue letting her do that?
Livelikedragons Yes.But watch them incase something happens.
Just wanted to let you know your video has helped me a lot. I just got my first hedgehog and she was quite grumpy. But these tricks seem to be helping her be less grumpy.
Lol Cute that one of their most prevalent characteristics is grumpiness

What's the food he was eating at 3:12 - 3:35
need to know it ASAP for my pixie :(
Looks like it to me as well but I need to make sure xD
celery
+Evelina Lopez I don't think so lol
I believe celery
+Evelina Lopez you can not feed a hedgehog celery I'm pretty sure it is bell pepper c:
If I had a hedgehog every single day I will take care of it you will be my best friend for life and do everything to protect and love them
okay i just need to add something a way you can tell if a hedgehog is playful, sweet, and energetic is if their quills are down flat on their back because if they're pointed up it means they're grumpy, mean, or aggressive so if you want a nice hedgehog look at their quills but if you don't care if its nice or mean it doesn't matter because its your choice ;)
Hi! I just picked up my baby hedgehog today. When I met the breeder she let me hold her but once we got home she hasn't let me touched her at all so I've been trying to give her space. How long do you think I should wait to try to touch her again and what kind of snacks or treats do hedgies like and dislike? Also how should I go about bathing her? Should I just let her walk around in the water for a while with some dawn soap or should I scrub her?
Anyways thanks for the videos! Your hedgie is very cute!
Sweetielaughalot NO Dawn soap. if they swallow it can be poisonous.
They eat cat food,I preffer Royal Canin.Don't use soap,they don't like it.Just let him walk around.Make sure the water is hot.It isn't weird if she/he doesn't like being holded,hedgehogs like being alone.Buy him a wheel,like those for hamsters but it has to be bigger and plastic,they can't spin,on the wire ones.Let him roam around the room at night and make sure there's nothing that he can get stuck in or that could possibly hurt him.Get him a rabbit cage.Make him a cardboard house,so he can go in it and sleep.They sleep a lot.Put pellets in the cage,and some stuff which I forgot the name of.And make sure to use gloves while holding him,because they jump and shake when you try to pick them up.They also breathe extremely fast when you try picking them up,it's normal.
@@aleksandraradicevic8006 you should not use gloves as they won't get used to your scent. And do some research on what food because they need certain percentages of fat and protien
My Grammy just got me one of the zoomer hedgiez because where I live it is illegal to keep them so I have a robotic hedgehog

This is such a cute video. Good info. I always wondered what they felt like & personally. My kitty watched your video & purred the entire time.:)
hi I'm new to ur channel and I really want a hedgehog but never had one before so can u give me some tips of how to take care of it and how to make it happy plz.
awesome Angelina well, first you will need a cage. I recommend C&C cages, or large rabbit cages. You will need to get a wheel for them, but make sure it is a solid wheel. They cannot run on wire wheels. For food, you can use cat food, I used to use Royal Canin, but I switched. If you are going to feed them cat food, I recommend Royal Canin. I'm currently feeding my hedgie Mazuris Insectivore diet. They will need sleeping pouches, blankets and huts for comfort and to sleep in. Oh and mealworms and crickets are considered a treat, so don't feed them too many. 5 - 10 is best. Make sure the room temperature is 75 - 65 F. Take them to the vet for yearly checkups. And make sure the room you have them in is quiet, and doesn't have strong smells as they have sensitive hearing and smelling. That's about all you need.
Make sure to let him roam around the room at night if there's nothing dangerous in it,too.
Also,make the hedgehog a house out of cardboard or anything,so that he can go in it and sleep.Trust me,they love to be in the dark.
If your living in a cold climate clear plastic tubs work for cages
Hi I am only a 11 but would love a hedgehog as my granddad us to have a wild one in his garden and have research a lot I live in the uk so it is a bit unusual to own one do you think you could give me some advice as I am only 11 . Thank you
I'm 11 too! But I live in Canada I would suggest you go for the most cheapest things and then later on upgrade I love these creatures and would love one I would order it online or at a pet store ask your parents about it and see if there ok with it. And tell them you will be responsible because they are a big thing to think about
Enchanted64 You can look online to see if there's a breeder near you that is selling an african pygmy hedgehog. Ask your parents if it's okay for you to have one. You should understand that hedgehogs can be a bit harder to cuddle than dogs, so make sure you have the patience and time to take care of them. :)
Just got one today I'm 11 to and I also love in the UK good luck if u get one
+Pinkcookie Gaming thank you how's your hedgehog
+Pinkcookie Gaming cool! So lucky
♫Running around at the speed of sound♫
I’ve been told to leave them alone for hours until night time, but to start handling them on the first day so they don’t become antisocial.
3:28 DAT WINK
Which is better to feed them dead mealworms or alive ones
Amanda Holderness Alive.
Never feed them MEALWORMS NOT GOOD FOR THEM WOULD U FEED YOUR CHILDREN CAKES SWEETS CHOCOLATE EVERY DAY. WE HAVE 5 that come to our garden use to give them MEALWORMS but was advised not to extremely bad for them and that came from a HEDGEHOG SPECIALIST WHO TAKE CARE OF LAST COUNT WAS 35 please do not give them mealworms. Hope that helps.
I will USE THIS advice one day. ONE DAY !!!!!
The low light idea really helps
Gotta Go Fast
