Hi everyone! This method is for hedgehog owners who do not want to give their hedgehogs frequent baths and that have hedgehogs that are more or less okay with having their nails done.
I do refer to these as "my" methods in the video, however that is a slip of the tongue. These are not methods I've come up with on my own, they are common methods used by many hedgehog owners.
If you do not think this method would work for you, try out the Bath Method:

trimming a hedgehogs nails is probably the hardest thing ive ever tried to do 😂
"Stop spinning me around, I'm going poo--oh, too late."
he's like mom no let me goooo
Awesome method! Thank you!! I just recently got a hedgehog who belonged to one of my mom's old friends, and he hadn't been taken care of well at all. Now he's in a better cage with better food and MUCH better sleeping areas. But the only problem we've had is clipping his nails. We've tried so many methods and just haven't been able to get them good enough. He's not used to being handled much so after I found this method it helped SOOOO much! We've got treats for him that he gets after each leg. Thank you so much for showing us this!!! It works so so so so well!!!😃🦔
I've just been watching your "hedgehog videos" playlist and I've learned SO much! (I'm only four videos in!)
I've done the same thing! I'm tryna convince my dad to get me one for Christmas! I got papers and wrote down everything I know so that he could see that I'm responsible for one and he went from like " were not getting her one" to like "ok maybe"!
@@MarionaIsCool same!!
@@oliviaanderson3166 sweet! I still have no hedgehog ;(
Draco is the cutest littel thing!♥♡♥
3:13 soooo cute!

Oh my god, it’s Vanilla ham ham! Love ur videos sooo much. I made the pumpkin pie for my hedgie.😂😁❤️❤️
I love this video thank you , I’m glad my sonic is not the only one who likes to try to run away lol
I am very much struggling here, button is very very restless, I can barely give her a bath without her trying to escape. Pls help ;w;
I just recently got a hedgehog and he's only 8 weeks old so your videos are helping with figuring out how to take care of them in many ways.
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!! I was struggling! I've used that method before but forgot how to do it. You totally saved me!
I love hedgehogs!
I am new to all this and I love your videos and information. Thank you so much!
HA as if my hedgie would stay still when I did this
she unballs but squirms sooooo much
What if you have an uncooperative hedgie that's not used to people?
Omg. That's such a great idea. I got so frustrated with my headgehog named sweet pea. She's being stubborn. 👟😁 Thanks so much!
Thanks for the vid! I might have to try this with my little one!
What a sweetheart! 💜
this was really helpful, I might try this tonight whilst cutting my hedgies nails :)
Thanks, this helped. Finally got Cyndaquil's nails clipped
Do you do teeth brushing or do you have your vet do it? If you do it yourself any tips or tricks? I love your videos they helped convince my mothers to get one
I was trying to cut my hedgehogs nails and I cant see where I cut her but there was blood. What should I do?
One more subscriber right there...BOOM!
this was realy helpful
i wish i could do this with my hedgie. she's so dang uncooperative
My little girl keeps squirming but I’m in school for vet tech, so it’s actually good practice.
im getting one this weekend im getting the cinnamon color one yayyyyyyyyyyyy
Rip draco
I've just got a hedgehog and she's chugging or hissing when I try to pick her up she needs to have her nails cut I dont know what to do she's extremely shy
Hey I'm considering getting some of these but I want to know how many I can keep. So how many can I keep in a 2x6 c+c cage, thanks in advance?
Hedgehogs are solitary animals, it's not recommended to put hedgehogs together. The best cage size is also 2x3, 2x6 would be too big. But that's my opinion and what I've heard from other owners.

I know it's been a long time since this video has been posted, but I have a question😂 so I've heard of people saying that their kwik can get to long and you have to try to recede them, do you have a problem with this?
Sorry if this makes no sense, just wanted to know!
The quick only gets long if you go long periods of time without cutting their nails :) But yes, if they do get too long, clipping them frequently will help them recede.
This might be easier for females since you have padding and a bra on to stop the spikes. As a guy, hah. Fun...
+Calvin W If your hedgehog is all spiked up, it's going to hurt anyone hahah. I only use this method when I can get his quills flat enough to allow it.
What a sicking though
Guys can wear bras 😕
alliA no????
melophobia, they can put it on but like it’s not for them to wear 😂
I don’t have a hedgehog yet but, the quick is the nerve that holds blood Vessels (I think) so what happens if you cut that? And what do you do after that? Thank you
You apply cornstarch or flour to the tip, then apply pressure to help clot the blood. It usually stops very quickly. :)
how many times a day do you feed Draco and Blaize?
You just have to make sure that the food in the bowl doesnt run out. When you see that the bowl doesnt have that much food in its bowl just refill it
Also when hedgehogs are adult (six months) should you get adult dried cat food? Also love the vid and your channel. Subscribed!💕
They should be on adult cat food even as baby hedgehogs - by the time you buy one they will likely already be eating an adult food :)
PugPibbleHedgie Thank you!!
wait they eat cat food? i’m getting a hedgehog soon so what should i feed her
I clipped mine to far and he is bleeding what do I do to stop it
Go to the pet store and get the stuff for birds, I think it’s called quick blood stopper but it for when you clip bird wings and stuff to make it stop bleeding
Dominick Brewer That was 10 months ago, you think they’re hedgehog’s still bleeding?
He is so cute. xx
Thank you (:
Would nail clippers that are used for babies be better than regular nail clippers?
Yes, they'd be easier because they're smaller :)
I really want a hedgehog.
Alyssa Anne I recommend but the starter price can be expensive
And what a big ol cutie
How fast their nails grow up?
Hello,i want to ask you something,what can i do for my hedgehog skyn,he has a very dry skin,can i put him coconot oil or almont oil,or can you recoment me a product or somenthing for him,it will very helpfull
+E. A. Coconut oil works well. You can add some to his skin. :) Be careful not to use too much or you'll make him greasy.
+PugPibbleHedgie thank you so much❤
I love your vids sooooooooooooooooooooooo much god bless u🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍬🍦🍬🍬🍬🍬
I need help! I accidentally just cut my hedgehogs nails a little to short. He’s very cranky and his foot is bleeding. It’s slowly stopping but I want to get help or car to make sure he is ok.
LandonVernon Vlogs is he/she okay now?
This is very helpful ,what colour is he?Darco is the sweetest hedgie ever,my hedgehog would go nuts she is still very sly 😊❤️
+Nicole Bezanson Draco is just brown. :)
Im cut my hedgehog nail but gone wrong i fell badd...cause blood out🥺 help me what should i doo
I'm trying to clip my hedgehogs nails and is this a safe method just wondering
Jacey Stephens I hope so! She posted a vid on it and I trust her opinion 100% so yes!
thank's but when did you start cuting thier nails
Right when they started to get too long. I had to cut both of the boys nails within the first week of having them. They grow normally as babies.
Hi! I am 16 year old. I'm centering on getting a hedgehog, but my dad doesn't want to let me.
Can you tell me the pros and cons of owning a hedgehog
Pros would simply be that they are amazing animals to have. They're adorable, sweet, pudgy, and when you earn their trust, it is an amazing privilege. They also don't have a strong odor for a small pet. Their care is generally fairly easy.
Cons would be their price - they can be quite expensive from a reputable breeder. They require a strict temperature range, so you can't just keep them at room temperature. Their quills can hurt if they don't trust you or are upset. Bonding can be a slow process. They're nocturnal so they are most active when most people are asleep. Their initial set up can be expensive. Vet visits are also very expensive. If they're not from a reputable breeder, they often end up with many illnesses throughout their lifetime, which adds up. And their lifespan is a lot shorter now than it used to be.
Lol, looks like he knows what your up to
i have a question , did you get them as baby hedgehogs?
I got them both when they were four months old. Hedgehogs are adults when they are six months old. So they weren't babies, but they weren't adults yet.
At what age will they start quilling?
+TipsForever They start as hoglets and continue on and off till they're a year old.
rubybrunt._x the first year of their life usually
My first time petting a hedgehog and he is now 1 month with me but I can't handle him . He is not so aggressive but don't like to handle so what should I do? Pls give me advice😥
Wish my boy will be like your hedgehog🦔 😢
How is your hedgie doing now?
I am hoping to save up for a hedhog and this is soo cool and my hedgehog name is going to be the same as yours he is so cute
My hedgehog tried to bite me while cutting her nails...
How much can you cut?
Just to above the quick (pink blood vessel).
PugPibbleHedgie how often should you feed a hedgehog
Daily - I feed mine every night
PugPibbleHedgie thanks for the information! :)
hahahahahahahahahaha he pooped😄😄
today i got my hedgie im so happy
Do they bite when you do this method?
+Czar Navi Mine don't but I couldn't say that every hedgehog wouldn't try to.
Thank you for replying! Have you been bitten by any of your hedgehogs before? If so, how bad does it hurt (if it does hurt)? I am interested in getting a hedgehog and been watching hedgehog care videos for it. I am a little bit scared of getting bitten as I have been bitten before by a hamster and it hurt pretty bad. 😆
Czar Navi I know the question wasn't directed towards me but I thought I'd reply because I have experience in that matter😉. My hedgehog, Clover, is a bit of a huffer/explorer and she decided bite me then anoint with that. It didn't hurt badly for me at all, but just made my finger tingle for a few hours 😂. Good luck!!
They can if they are grumpy or is you smell like their treats or food
How often do you need to cut your hedgies nails?
+Kaitlyn Coluccio Depends on the hog. One of mine has nails that grows very slowly so his get done monthly. The other needs then done about every other week or so.
How I can stop a hedgehog's nail from bleeding
Put cornstarch on it!
WAIT HIS NAILS STARTED BLEEDING PLZ I FEEL SO BAD
It’s alright, it happens. Just put cornstarch on it to help the bleeding and he’ll be fine ^^
Is it a good idea to nuter hedgehogs?
+shelby largent It’s generally just an unnecessary risk.
PugPibbleHedgie ah okay. I'm new to hedgehogs so i was curious
shelby largent hedgehogs are better alone so there is no need normally
0:32 *poops*
okay thank's, i just thought is 2 month old hedgie okay to take away from mom when it eats solid food
Six weeks old is when babies are weaned and taken from their mothers (:
thank's you have cute hedgies
That is not how it works. I tried it and my hedge got bit me
Watching you touch the quills scares me
I have 1 2
What toys do your hedgies like? Mine seems to like bell balls and toilet paper rolls.
Mine like mini rubber duckies and crinkle balls :)
My dad would have to cut my hedgehogs nails😂
my male silver hedgehog tantaur is slightly bigger than your male hedgehog drako.
My hedgehogs name is Draco but pronounced differently
Omg omg omg
I love your videos sooo much. You helped me with the first steps with my hedgehog. Oh and one question how many meal worms should feed my hedgehog Draco
lol 😕
trying to cut my hedgehogs nails makes me want to give her away.
It's good hedgehogs
