This video SAVED my hedgehogs life!!! I couple months ago my parents surprised me with a hedgehog. I’m a very caring person and I have been wanting one for a while. She was $250 so I was doing chores around the house. The breeder said she needed to be in a environment that is 72-80 degrees. And recommended a heat lamp. But my parents thought my room was warm enough, so for a couple weeks she didn’t have a good heat source. Then she started wobbling, and not eating, drinking, or using her litter box & wheel. So that’s when I got really worried. Probably two days after I saw her wobble. I was up late, and I just happened to see you posted a video. I did some research before that pointed to hibernation. But once I watched your video, I was for SURE, she was trying to hibernate. So the next morning I told my mom, and my dad got a heat lamp after work. I am so grateful of your videos. I felt so bad that she didn’t have a heat lamp. She had lots of blankets but that just didn’t work. You keep making videos, because they really do save lives.
I don't think you will reply but this is exactly what my parents would do! My room is like 15 degrees celcius (hedgehogs need 22 to 27) and they say my room is warm. What the hell?! I'm getting a hedgehog from my own income so thank god they can't butt in and tell me what to do and now I can provide the heating.
My boyfriends mom didn’t even have the heat on and I woke up this morning and mine was in hibernation mode. I gotta get her a lamp today. This video saved her life seriously. :( the house is usually warm but no heat. 🤦🏻♀️
It's scary to think of how many people who probably impulse buy hedgehogs without having a clue about their special needs and requirements. It's so good you do these videos to educate and share information! You're a really good teacher! :)
Thank you! You’re so sweet! And you’re right, it is scary! The number of comments I get from people who have been misled or didn’t do research on their heating is scary!
HoppingHammy I always wanted a hedgehog when I was a kid but I didn’t know they needed certain now that I’m older I did research before buying my first hedgehog and I thank the stars I did 🙏🏻🙏🏻 my hedgehog 🦔 turbo has a nice heated lamp and a nice blanket in his cage 🙂🙂🙂
I know someone who got a hedgehog without doing ANY research, they feed her HAMSTER food with soil bedding and a normal reading lamp for “heat” it’s super scary knowing she’s my friend I try to educate her but she says I know nothing 😭😭😭💔💔
I woke up at 5 AM and realized that my hedgehog hadn’t eaten anything! I see and she’s just a little ball of quills, I pick her up but she doesn’t unravel like she usually does… I thought the only thing that this could be is hibernation so I found this video. Thank you so much now my hedgehog is responsive, if it wasn’t for you I think my hedgehog wouldn’t have made it! TYSM!!!♥️
I’ve been so worried about my girl trying to hibernate since this is our first winter together❤️.thankfully I prepared and got a ton of hand warmers and back up bulbs.
@Andrea Gonzalez so I live in a place with reallyyyyy bad winters , so I was wondering, what would happen if the power went out and their was no heater? Should I jest try to keep her warm in my arms or like wrap her around a blanket? Also is it okay to open her cage when the room is cold or will all the warm air escape from out of her cage?
Omg thankyou😭you saved my life I don’t know how to thank u I thought she was dying. As soon as I placed her on my body she started moving again, thankyou so much I was so scared. 😭❤️ Edit: I just noticed that my uncle turned the air to low and she freezed, and now I’m in my way to go get a heater thankyou with all my heart
Thank you. You saved my hedgehogs life. Your the best. In 45 minutes she is running around in the sun and hit her garden of Amy in which is warm. She scared the shit out of me. She ate a bit and drank a bit of water. she is acting just about normal.
I am SO GLAD you made this video this week! Scarily, this morning, found my hedgehog in a ball, and she hadn't run last night or eaten much (if anything). I have heat source (CHE) and cage was at proper temperature the past few days (if a bit on the lower side - it was a cold/drafty night last night!), but woke up this morning with the hedge being quite unresponsive (stayed in a ball, didn't say hello when I picked her up). A cold belly gave me the BIG indicator something was wrong. I heated her back up, and when she bit me I knew she was doing better :) Currently have her with me and she's starting to accept food and water. Monitoring her closely today and cranked up the heat in her cage a few degrees. Scary stuff! Thanks for the information! (Don't shame me! First time hedgie momma here!)
This literally happened to me just the other day, luckily I caught her before she got into it but the temps been higher a couple of degrees and she's still acting a bit off but is getting better. Also a first time hedgie momma ❤
Thank you so much my hedgehog went into hibernation last night and im warming him up now hes starting to show his cute little face again but im quite scared now
I am an experienced owner but only had a hedgehog go attempt hibernation today. It is a cold snap and the house got a little colder but I have a heat lamp to ensure it is warm enough. Sadly she tipped the water dish and got went which got her very cold where she was curling up, shaking, and very cold to the touch. I took the heat lamp and placed it in a nice spot, used my body to warm her a bit (first time she layed her head on me ever). She then was moving a bit so I put her in a towel under the lamp and continued to monitor her and feel her body. She finally got back up to her old self and was no longer cold or shaking. I now covered the cage more to increase tempature some more, but thanks to this video I will keep an especially close eye on her for the next two weeks. I didn't now know they may reattempt. Thank you for that. Luckily she can curl up to her sister for some extra warmth. (Her sister is bigger and warmer). Thank you!
You have helped me and my family so much!! I got my hedgehog in the middle of last year and I love her. Between your videos and you on Facebook you help so much!
A heat lamp was not enough warmth for my hedgehog. To check this, check the bottom of the cage or the blankets to make sure they are warm to the touch. Mine wasn’t warm at all so I knew I needed a high wattage heat lamp, or a better solution I found was an animal heat pad. Such a better investment!!
Thank you SO much, I live in a mostly cold state (Ohio) and right now there is a snowstorm. My hedgehog (Autumn) was starting to hibernate, this helped me with not panicking and being calm. I’m still waiting for her to warm up but so far so good! And again THANK YOU!
tori you do not know how much your videos have probably saved my hedges life! I had no clue my hedgehog was going into hibernation a few days ago and as soon as i saw this video i was running to Petco for a heat lamp and an area heater! Thank you so much for making these videos!
I want a hedgehog so bad! My mom has declared that i can get one for Christmas if i know and understand the anatomy of a hedgehog, find a place for one, and keep my room clean enough for it! i have been looking around the internet trying to find a reputable source for all the info that i need! your channel has been so very helpful! My whole family and i refuse to purchase pets without having done adequate research to accommodate their needs. i have since set up a savings plan based on your cost of a hedgehog video and i have put things in to carts on various websites! I'm even investing in a rabbit cafe for my hedgehog so she has lots of space to roam! I'm gonna name her Pippa (pip for short) and i can't wait for her to be mine!
Oh my goodness- you saved my baby’s life😇 we are on vacation in Colorado, and overnight it got super cold, and I found him very cold and in a ball. Thank you so much, I was so scared
My hedgehog is always like this.. I'm so sorry for her all the time, but my dad never bought a heat source, thank you for saving my little critters life.
I am so glad I found your channel. My cousin is moving and can't bring his little guy with him so they asked me to take him in. I of course said yes because i would rather him still be in the family than a shelter. So my cousin mentioned hibernation and I got scared. I am trying to learn as much as I can since I have never had one. So i will be watching all of your videos these next few days.
So glad you uploaded this video! I was getting nervous when my new hedgie seemed to have been sleeping more than I thought was normal and I thought it could have been a false hibernation but im glad you were able to clarify what the symptoms were
THANK YOU! I just got a hedgehog for Christmas and I knew some stuff about hedgehogs like what they eat and the stuff to keep them active but I'm still doing research and this really helped . I'm getting a heating lamp bc I just got money for Christmas and I will order it . Sooo happy to be apart of the hedgehog community :)
Girllllllll I just got off of a 18hr shift to find my liddoo baby just BALLLLLED up (I live in Chicago it’s cold af here) this video SAVEDDDDD her! Thank youuu for all the helpful tips and tricks this is only day 3 of owning her and I was STRESSSED until I found this video. Very informative keep it up girlie there’s other hedgies rooting for Ya!
Looks like you made this video just in time for so many ppl. I was reading the comments And this really helped a lot of ppl it looks like. I live in Florida and my house is never below 74°F. Hopefully I won't have this issue but never know
I currently live in Florida and we had a little cold spurt. I fed her last night before she woke up and I went to check on her this morning ( I noticed she didn’t touch her food, and she’s a little fatty so unusual) and she was attempting hibernation mode. ☹️This video helped me sooooo much. She’s doing fine now and I put more blankets in her cage and put a towel underneath it as well to keep heat in. Going to get a heating lamp today.
PugPibbleHedgie this scares me I really want a hedgehog been doing research recently and I sleep with my fan on 24/7 all year round I live in North Carolina I also have the A/C on so what would you do in this case to avoid hedgehog hibernation attempt or even being cold?
I semi-recently bought 2 hedgehogs from a lady who was selling them. She seemed like a great person, and they were very well taken care of, aside from the fact that she had never used a heat lamp with them. I always intended to buy a heat lamp, but they are incredibly expensive, and they seemed fine without it. Yesterday however, when I checked on them, my female hedgehog Luna was curled completely into a ball, and she wouldn't come out. There was a good 10 minutes where she was completely unresponsive, and I thought she was dead. It took some time, but we got her to wake up, and she seems back to normal. We purchased a space heater, and I will be buying the heat lamps this week. I just wanted to share our story, and remind you how important heat lamps are!
Thank you for helping me a couple days ago when my hedgehog willow was trying to go into hibernation! She’s okay now we finally figured out that the cord that was hooked up to her heating equipment had went out while we were gone but we got it fixed ASAP!
I know this is an old video but my little girl had an attempt today. I went by her cage and saw no sign of her running in her wheel and no food touched. Looked in her den and she was tightly in a ball. Got her out and she came out of her ball within a minute. I must of caught her EARLY. I put her against my body and put blankets around her. Put her back in her cage after about an hour and she went straight to her bowl to eat, I'm checking on her because it's daylight and I know she needs to sleep. I'm not sure what caused her attempt, her temperature is lower than most but she has been fine with it for over a year now, we are having a huge cold front coming through soon so I think the atmospheric pressure could have something to do with it. Light has never been a problem but we had a week of rain so not much sun and I wasn't working so the light wasn't on during the day.
I’m trying to figure out why you don’t have 100k followers yet? Your awsome!! I’m getting a hedgehog and I’m just watching these and getting amazing info!thanks
Thank you for always putting such great vids out there! Maple, despite having a good heat set up still attempted to hibernate after about a week of winter grey days of low daylight. Adding a daylight bulb remedied that and I was so glad you mentioned that as well!
I live in a cold climate and I try to keep his room 72 - 75 degrees and other people in my family shirt off the heater in his room... he has attempted twice and we are very lucky to get him back.
i just got my hedgehog from a garage sale... the owner said she has lived 3 years without a heater but i just bought a heat lamp and am hoping she is okay/better with it
my hedgehog is so weird, I've had too many heating problems, over heating to be exact...so now, my hedgehogs room is cold even for me, but for him its perfect, anything more and he is splatting. He's like the opposite. He can handle less than 20 C. His stomach is always nice and warm...I've been very careful and picking his right temp, took me a while, and very careful to make sure its ok for him and check several times a day on him.
Great video like always 😁👍🦔 the first time and only time My hedgehog tried to go into hibernation I got so afraid thank god i caught her in time and now I have a lot better heating in her enclosure for me space heaters did not work for some reason that’s why she almost hibernated. For a while now I have a heat lamp that she absolutely loves
Hi Tori Lynn, my hedgehog is about 1 1/2 and I have been noticing that she has been having trouble breathing so we took her to the vet and she got some antibiotics. She has been fine with that but then I noticed that in the last few days, shes hasn't been running on her wheel and not been eating her medicine, her food, and her water. I also have been trying to play with her for the last few days and she has been unresponsive but has been curled up in a ball. She sometimes snores, and she wasn't making the snoring noises anymore, (the noises were actually snoring because I asked the vet and she said that it was snoring). I watched your video today because I was really scared that she was going to hibernate and die. It was so helpful that I went and got a heat lamp hoping that it would help. I went to the store and when I came back, she had gotten out of her ball. I picked her up but she was pretty slow, and blinking slowly too. She was also wobbly, but I wasn't that scared because I heard what you said in the video. I am letting her rest now, and she is responsive. Do you have any ideas on how I can get her to eat and drink? Will she just do it eventually? You saved my hedgehogs life. I was so scared she was going to die! Thank you so much Tori Lynn!
hi last night i went to get my hedgehog out of her cage to play with her and she was in a ball and wouldn’t come out for a few minutes (not long, like 2) she usually comes out right away. she also didn’t seem as active as she normally is. i felt her stomach area and i noticed it was cold to the touch and she wasn’t walking properly (shaking a bit). at first i worried it was WHS but after putting a space heater on her for a bit she was walking normally and acting like herself. i knew about hibernation, but i didnt think that’s what it was until i did some research. i did what hedgehog central suggested (holding her close to my chest with a blanket over her). she hadn’t been eating as much as usual the past few days. my mom checked on her earlier today and she felt warm and was acting like her usual happy self. she had also eaten her food as usual. i put a heating pad under her bed area (don’t worry i did my research and it is a safe chick heating pad that works for hedgehogs). i am now playing with her and she seems like her normal self. i’m not sure if i should take her to the vet or not because she seems normal, but i think it might be a good idea just in case. any advice? anything helps
i’m so glad that i found this video. i was told about hibernation when i got my hedgehog. two days ago lol. i was told what to do, but i got really freaked out. i li be in colorado and it’s winter so i keep an eye on the temperature. i’m scared to go to school though. but i have a heating lamp and a heating pad under his bin cage and blankets. i’m so glad that i know about you know. i feel ready if anything happens. i’m scared but i know what to do now.!
My hedgehog went into Hibernation and I didn't realize. My dad left the window on during the freeze warning in Idaho that dropped to 30 degrees. It is so scary and he is under my shirt right now and its so uncomfortable it hurts so bad. But I need him to get better.
Thank you so much Tori for doing this hibernation video on hedgehogs and it was to see Draco hedgie 😊❤️😍😘 thank God my Salaha Juno and Nala Bramble they have went in hibernation 😊❤️
Ugh..... my worst fear is walking into my hedgehogs room and seeing her walking and shaking again like i did when i found her cold one night 😢😢😢 i sobbed for straight HOURS after..... worst experience ever.... so glad my babygirl Pepper is still here with me today❤ she was found with over TWO HUNDRED other hedgehogs in a hoarding situation in metro Detroit Michigan just over 2 years ago. The rehabilitation woman the state placed most of them with, said within 1 month the number she had went from 80 (mostly) adults to over 200 adults and mommas and babies! I'd be SO overwhelmed! 😮
THANK YOU! I turned off the heater a couple days ago because the weather is warmer, but it got cold meanwhile the heater was off. So I was just cleaning out the cage and noticed the simptoms. Right now we are skin to skin.
holy shit. I thought she had WHS a couple months ago because when I searched the symptoms it’s all that would pop up! I started to hold her more thinking she would die soon, I wonder if my body heat helped her! we double checked everything in her home to make sure it was okay and we had to fix her temperature, but I thought no way that would contribute to WHS. wow. thank you so much for this maybe you should do a recap on this with winter coming up!!
we immediately insulated the windows in the hedgys room, and put a thermometer that automatically turns on a heater for him if it gets below 73 until it reaches around 75, i hope that is adequate as that is the temp we landed on combined with the centeral heating system of the house. We opened the vent to that room and closed our bedrooms so that we dont get overwhelmed with the heat at night. Working on a heat lamp as well just to make sure the winter is nice and warm. I didnt think about the light sources playing a role! after daylight savings i have noticed he will sleep into the night several hours after dark. ill definitely remember to turn on the light in that room once the sun sets for now on.
I went to check in my hedgehog and she wouldn’t come out of her ball even when I tried giving her worms (which she loves). I followed this video and she came out after about 2 mins!! Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much. My baby was not eating and stuff and i knew something was up. She is in my fluffy sweater and I wanna thank you I didnt know what to do. So ty
I have a question, I saved my hedgehog from hibernation, he started waking up and being more alert and eating but I have noticed he has not been walking the same, his back legs are wide and he walks really slow .
I'm a first time hedgehog owner the first time my hedgehog quil went into hibernation was my b-day and I was really worried but I got him out of his cage and just carried him around and then he started to warm up last night it was kinda cold outside and didn't think nothing of it and left my window cracked I woke up and he was in a ball and would not come out so I watched this video and then places him on my stomach he's starting to move around a little thank you for the video I was so worried!!😃
Our hedgehog is currently attempting hibernation. We live in Canada and it's getting colder. Due to the drop in temperature and day time hours, she is unresponsive. I have her under my shirt, under a blanket. I've turned up the heat to 90 degrees F and am patiently waiting for her to warm up. It's been over an hour and I'm worried.
Does this describe my hedgie: He falls all the time Lets me do anything to him Doesnt move at all just sleeps in a warm towel Breathes so little my dad tought he was dead and then I touched his nosed and he got in deffense mode for a few seconds Really cold He is a wild one and climate in Croatia is shit so we took him in for a few days then we released him back and a day later he was in the same spot so...n we warmed him up and we will contact a vet soon
Im so scared my hedgehog has a cold stomach and is VERY wobbly when its walking and im sick so i cant warm it up with my body and im trying everything i can and am hoping for the best...😞😓
Hi, please help me. Just found a hedgehog hibernation nest at an excavation area, it was partly undisclosed. I normally don’t like interrupting into nature things, but had to save the poor thing, since it was just by a few inches that machines missed it, also, dogs roam the area. We took home but didn’t wake up, weather outside is still cold (will be 1C overnight). I guess that’s too cold, so we covered it with leaves, and put in a ventilated cardboard box. It seems to have gone back to deeper sleep (when found, breathing was around 50/minute - regular for awaken status, now back to few a minute). Thankfully it’s not injured. I found an earthworm that I placed in the box in case it woke and cut an apple (hope that’s fine). I’d like to release the poor thing back to nature as soon as possible, but not rush awakening. What I’m currently concerned about is: is this weather not too cold for it? I guess the house is way too hot (20 C), and the only place, a storage room is even around 15-18C: it would surely wake there. What’s best to do now? Thanks!
I live in arizona and the temperature is really hot here would a hedgehog be comfortable without a heating lamp or should I give it one period? I'm trying to find out as much as possible about heating because it seems it is one of the most important things about caring for a hedgehog
It might be WHS, her legs could be paralyzed, this is very dangerous, how old is your hedgehog and when did you notice this? Also, I am not a professional, to be sure, please take her to a vet.
I want a hedgehog and I’ve learned a lot about them but how am I supposed to make sure that the hedgehog isn’t too cold when I bring it on a long road trip especially since my dad likes to keep the car cold .
Thank you, I was worried about my hedgehog because we had a big cold front that lasted 2 days, and she wasn’t eating, wasn’t drinking and like you said I picked her up and her belly was cold to the touch..but unfortunately the heating vent that she was near wasn’t reaching her enough so I gotta get a heating pad now
Great video, good info! Have you ever done a video about how our domestic hedgehogs came to be? I’ve heard a lot of interesting things like how the African pigmie hedgehogs are a highbrid of two wild types. Also I am in the process of switching my hedgehog, Baxter over to a new food!
Thank yooouuuu. I did a lot of research when i learned i was being given a hedgy, and nothing stated anything about attempted hibernation. Its my first winter with her and she's hidden in her tube and not moving (she's breathing though). I'm slowly warming her up in my lap. (Edit) I'm really struggling to get her out of her tube, she's refusing but I'm still working on heating her (Edit 2) I removed her from her tube (rest in peace tube, i had to cut it open) and got her rested on my belly with some dried insects. She's sniffing them pretty intensely, but not eating yet, and she does have a cold belly, but mine should warm her well
I have one guinea pig (please do not hate on me I had two Guinea pigs but one passed) and three hamsters. I am highly thinking about getting a hedgehog. I am prepared for mess, smell, high-maintenance (as my guinea pig is all that plus a drama queen), and also it being nocturnal (I have three hamsters. Hamsters=nocturnal) Also I am fine with feeding live bugs, handling pointy quills, and a potentially unsocial hedgehog. I already have a small guinea pig cage collecting dust in the basement (it’s way too small for guinea pigs but probably okay for hedgies) I have hermit crabs which have a heat source (a heat pad) so probably my parents would be okay with me getting a heat lamp for the hedgie. I have an exotic vet ten minutes away, which I take my piggy and hammies to in case they get sick. You guys made it to the end! What do you think??? Should I get a hedgie? I would prefer a male because 3/4 of my small animals are females (and I’m also okay with seeing masturbation, lol, I’m used to it, I bred my hamsters once so I saw it)
Someone please help so I got my hedgehog a day ago and it’s been pretty cold today, today I found him curled up in a ball not wanting to really do anything not even wanting to borrow into anything so I took him out and put him in a soft warm blanket in shock of thinking he’s in hibernation. Idk if he’s in hibernation someone please let me know but now he’s been a little more active walking around just a tiny bit to get comfortable so now he’s not curled up and he’s wobbly when he walks and also he doesn’t want to eat or drink anything I hope he went out of hibernation I still have him in the warm blanket someone please tell me if he was in hibernation when he was curled in a ball not wanting to move or get under anything as I really don’t want him to die
Dear PugPibbleHedgie, I have quick question that I hope you will see. I wanted a hedgehog and was hoping I would get one for Christmas...but I didn't. My parents said they will not let me have one until I move out of the house. Lots of people can relate. Anyways....If I ever get one and I don't have a lot of money to bye a heating lamp. Are heating blankets okay??? I saw a lot of them at my local Target and I was hoping that it will work out. Thanks and keep up the good work!
I want a hedgehog very badly. I’ve done my research, started saving up money, etc. Unfortunately my parent think they “stink, make a mess, and are expensive” I thought about a hamster but I don’t necessarily think that a hamster is the best fit for me. Anybody have any advice?
Tori I could really use your help. My hedgehog had started to hibernate back in October and it was because we let our house get too cold, so we watched this video and bought a heat lamp and thermometer for her cage. But we find she still is getting symptoms of hibernation (cold stomach/feet, balled up, wobbly) even with the house at 76 and her heat lamp on when it goes below 73 and it’s January
I’d increase her heat even more. Try and keep her closer to 78-80° and see if that helps. Some hedgehogs just need to be kept on the warm end of their spectrum permanently.
My hedgehog is currently trying to hibernate. I stumbled on this video in a panic trying to help her. I came home and her heat was off which never happens. She was curled up in a ball and would only uncurl when I pet the quila directly on her back. Even though she didn’t uncurl I’m guessing it was a muscle response because she looked asleep. I finally got her to kind of open her eyes and I have her on skin to skin right now trying to get her all the way awake. I’m scared 😭
My hedgehog is 1 years old almost 2 she hasn’t eaten much or drinking. She drank a lil and ate 2-3 pellets . She isnt rlly wobbling but I’m rlly scared and need help I’m not... ok so I was writing this comment at 1am it’s now 3:08 am she was trying to hibernate 😐
Hello, I love your care videos, I recently got my hedgehog for my birthday and I have been really worried about his heat set up. I do have a question, how can you tell when a bulb is busted or not working anymore?
Hello, I love all your videos! Just got a hedgehog for Christmas (his name is Quinn) and I typically keep my house at 64. I have no issues getting a heat lamp but I thought they like the darkness? I don't want to upset him by have a light pointed on him all day. Please advise. Thank you.
So I have a question, if you have a CHE how can you tell if the light bulb went out since they don't emit light. I'm getting a hedgehog soon, and I'm taking notes using your videos and others. It's what i do before I get any animal so I know the things to look out for and how to properly care. Anyway thanks for any feedback given❤💕
This video SAVED my hedgehogs life!!! I couple months ago my parents surprised me with a hedgehog. I’m a very caring person and I have been wanting one for a while. She was $250 so I was doing chores around the house. The breeder said she needed to be in a environment that is 72-80 degrees. And recommended a heat lamp. But my parents thought my room was warm enough, so for a couple weeks she didn’t have a good heat source. Then she started wobbling, and not eating, drinking, or using her litter box & wheel. So that’s when I got really worried. Probably two days after I saw her wobble. I was up late, and I just happened to see you posted a video. I did some research before that pointed to hibernation. But once I watched your video, I was for SURE, she was trying to hibernate. So the next morning I told my mom, and my dad got a heat lamp after work. I am so grateful of your videos. I felt so bad that she didn’t have a heat lamp. She had lots of blankets but that just didn’t work. You keep making videos, because they really do save lives.
I don't think you will reply but this is exactly what my parents would do! My room is like 15 degrees celcius (hedgehogs need 22 to 27) and they say my room is warm. What the hell?! I'm getting a hedgehog from my own income so thank god they can't butt in and tell me what to do and now I can provide the heating.
@@Bulbart Same!
My boyfriends mom didn’t even have the heat on and I woke up this morning and mine was in hibernation mode. I gotta get her a lamp today. This video saved her life seriously. :( the house is usually warm but no heat. 🤦🏻♀️
It's scary to think of how many people who probably impulse buy hedgehogs without having a clue about their special needs and requirements. It's so good you do these videos to educate and share information! You're a really good teacher! :)
Thank you! You’re so sweet! And you’re right, it is scary! The number of comments I get from people who have been misled or didn’t do research on their heating is scary!
HoppingHammy you are so right
HoppingHammy I always wanted a hedgehog when I was a kid but I didn’t know they needed certain now that I’m older I did research before buying my first hedgehog and I thank the stars I did 🙏🏻🙏🏻 my hedgehog 🦔 turbo has a nice heated lamp and a nice blanket in his cage 🙂🙂🙂
riptheebrake gaming turbo is a snail man why not name it sonic just kidding
I know someone who got a hedgehog without doing ANY research, they feed her HAMSTER food with soil bedding and a normal reading lamp for “heat” it’s super scary knowing she’s my friend I try to educate her but she says I know nothing 😭😭😭💔💔
My hedgehog wasn’t responding for over 47 minutes and I didn’t know what to do this helped me so much! Thank you!
Did she/he survived?
I woke up at 5 AM and realized that my hedgehog hadn’t eaten anything! I see and she’s just a little ball of quills, I pick her up but she doesn’t unravel like she usually does… I thought the only thing that this could be is hibernation so I found this video. Thank you so much now my hedgehog is responsive, if it wasn’t for you I think my hedgehog wouldn’t have made it! TYSM!!!♥️
I’ve been so worried about my girl trying to hibernate since this is our first winter together❤️.thankfully I prepared and got a ton of hand warmers and back up bulbs.
@Andrea Gonzalez so I live in a place with reallyyyyy bad winters , so I was wondering, what would happen if the power went out and their was no heater? Should I jest try to keep her warm in my arms or like wrap her around a blanket? Also is it okay to open her cage when the room is cold or will all the warm air escape from out of her cage?
Omg thankyou😭you saved my life I don’t know how to thank u I thought she was dying.
As soon as I placed her on my body she started moving again, thankyou so much I was so scared.
😭❤️
Edit: I just noticed that my uncle turned the air to low and she freezed, and now I’m in my way to go get a heater thankyou with all my heart
Thank you. You saved my hedgehogs life. Your the best. In 45 minutes she is running around in the sun and hit her garden of Amy in which is warm. She scared the shit out of me. She ate a bit and drank a bit of water. she is acting just about normal.
Thank you so much!!! My hedgie Penelope went into a false hibernation and I was freaking out before finding your video. This helped me so much.
StressedOutBee same!! And my hedgehogs name is Penelope too 👍🏻 penny for short!
Mine has the same name also!
I am SO GLAD you made this video this week! Scarily, this morning, found my hedgehog in a ball, and she hadn't run last night or eaten much (if anything). I have heat source (CHE) and cage was at proper temperature the past few days (if a bit on the lower side - it was a cold/drafty night last night!), but woke up this morning with the hedge being quite unresponsive (stayed in a ball, didn't say hello when I picked her up). A cold belly gave me the BIG indicator something was wrong. I heated her back up, and when she bit me I knew she was doing better :) Currently have her with me and she's starting to accept food and water. Monitoring her closely today and cranked up the heat in her cage a few degrees. Scary stuff! Thanks for the information!
(Don't shame me! First time hedgie momma here!)
Glad to hear everything turned out okay!
This literally happened to me just the other day, luckily I caught her before she got into it but the temps been higher a couple of degrees and she's still acting a bit off but is getting better. Also a first time hedgie momma ❤
Thank you so much my hedgehog went into hibernation last night and im warming him up now hes starting to show his cute little face again but im quite scared now
Did your hedgehog live?
I am an experienced owner but only had a hedgehog go attempt hibernation today. It is a cold snap and the house got a little colder but I have a heat lamp to ensure it is warm enough. Sadly she tipped the water dish and got went which got her very cold where she was curling up, shaking, and very cold to the touch. I took the heat lamp and placed it in a nice spot, used my body to warm her a bit (first time she layed her head on me ever). She then was moving a bit so I put her in a towel under the lamp and continued to monitor her and feel her body. She finally got back up to her old self and was no longer cold or shaking. I now covered the cage more to increase tempature some more, but thanks to this video I will keep an especially close eye on her for the next two weeks. I didn't now know they may reattempt. Thank you for that. Luckily she can curl up to her sister for some extra warmth. (Her sister is bigger and warmer). Thank you!
Your body-heat treatment saved my East European hedgehog, we both thank you, greetings from Greece!
You have helped me and my family so much!! I got my hedgehog in the middle of last year and I love her. Between your videos and you on Facebook you help so much!
A heat lamp was not enough warmth for my hedgehog. To check this, check the bottom of the cage or the blankets to make sure they are warm to the touch. Mine wasn’t warm at all so I knew I needed a high wattage heat lamp, or a better solution I found was an animal heat pad. Such a better investment!!
Thank you SO much, I live in a mostly cold state (Ohio) and right now there is a snowstorm. My hedgehog (Autumn) was starting to hibernate, this helped me with not panicking and being calm. I’m still waiting for her to warm up but so far so good!
And again THANK YOU!
tori you do not know how much your videos have probably saved my hedges life! I had no clue my hedgehog was going into hibernation a few days ago and as soon as i saw this video i was running to Petco for a heat lamp and an area heater! Thank you so much for making these videos!
I want a hedgehog so bad! My mom has declared that i can get one for Christmas if i know and understand the anatomy of a hedgehog, find a place for one, and keep my room clean enough for it! i have been looking around the internet trying to find a reputable source for all the info that i need! your channel has been so very helpful! My whole family and i refuse to purchase pets without having done adequate research to accommodate their needs. i have since set up a savings plan based on your cost of a hedgehog video and i have put things in to carts on various websites! I'm even investing in a rabbit cafe for my hedgehog so she has lots of space to roam! I'm gonna name her Pippa (pip for short)
and i can't wait for her to be mine!
Oh my goodness- you saved my baby’s life😇 we are on vacation in Colorado, and overnight it got super cold, and I found him very cold and in a ball. Thank you so much, I was so scared
My hedgehog is always like this.. I'm so sorry for her all the time, but my dad never bought a heat source, thank you for saving my little critters life.
I am so glad I found your channel. My cousin is moving and can't bring his little guy with him so they asked me to take him in. I of course said yes because i would rather him still be in the family than a shelter. So my cousin mentioned hibernation and I got scared. I am trying to learn as much as I can since I have never had one. So i will be watching all of your videos these next few days.
So glad you uploaded this video! I was getting nervous when my new hedgie seemed to have been sleeping more than I thought was normal and I thought it could have been a false hibernation but im glad you were able to clarify what the symptoms were
THANK YOU! I just got a hedgehog for Christmas and I knew some stuff about hedgehogs like what they eat and the stuff to keep them active but I'm still doing research and this really helped . I'm getting a heating lamp bc I just got money for Christmas and I will order it . Sooo happy to be apart of the hedgehog community :)
Girllllllll I just got off of a 18hr shift to find my liddoo baby just BALLLLLED up (I live in Chicago it’s cold af here) this video SAVEDDDDD her! Thank youuu for all the helpful tips and tricks this is only day 3 of owning her and I was STRESSSED until I found this video. Very informative keep it up girlie there’s other hedgies rooting for Ya!
Looks like you made this video just in time for so many ppl. I was reading the comments And this really helped a lot of ppl it looks like. I live in Florida and my house is never below 74°F. Hopefully I won't have this issue but never know
I currently live in Florida and we had a little cold spurt. I fed her last night before she woke up and I went to check on her this morning ( I noticed she didn’t touch her food, and she’s a little fatty so unusual) and she was attempting hibernation mode. ☹️This video helped me sooooo much. She’s doing fine now and I put more blankets in her cage and put a towel underneath it as well to keep heat in. Going to get a heating lamp today.
Ohhhhh my goodness so cuteee! Wonderful Care video!!!!
Thank you! ❤️
PugPibbleHedgie this scares me I really want a hedgehog been doing research recently and I sleep with my fan on 24/7 all year round I live in North Carolina I also have the A/C on so what would you do in this case to avoid hedgehog hibernation attempt or even being cold?
I semi-recently bought 2 hedgehogs from a lady who was selling them. She seemed like a great person, and they were very well taken care of, aside from the fact that she had never used a heat lamp with them. I always intended to buy a heat lamp, but they are incredibly expensive, and they seemed fine without it. Yesterday however, when I checked on them, my female hedgehog Luna was curled completely into a ball, and she wouldn't come out. There was a good 10 minutes where she was completely unresponsive, and I thought she was dead. It took some time, but we got her to wake up, and she seems back to normal. We purchased a space heater, and I will be buying the heat lamps this week. I just wanted to share our story, and remind you how important heat lamps are!
Thank you for helping me a couple days ago when my hedgehog willow was trying to go into hibernation! She’s okay now we finally figured out that the cord that was hooked up to her heating equipment had went out while we were gone but we got it fixed ASAP!
I know this is an old video but my little girl had an attempt today. I went by her cage and saw no sign of her running in her wheel and no food touched. Looked in her den and she was tightly in a ball. Got her out and she came out of her ball within a minute. I must of caught her EARLY. I put her against my body and put blankets around her. Put her back in her cage after about an hour and she went straight to her bowl to eat, I'm checking on her because it's daylight and I know she needs to sleep. I'm not sure what caused her attempt, her temperature is lower than most but she has been fine with it for over a year now, we are having a huge cold front coming through soon so I think the atmospheric pressure could have something to do with it. Light has never been a problem but we had a week of rain so not much sun and I wasn't working so the light wasn't on during the day.
I’m trying to figure out why you don’t have 100k followers yet? Your awsome!! I’m getting a hedgehog and I’m just watching these and getting amazing info!thanks
Thank you for always putting such great vids out there! Maple, despite having a good heat set up still attempted to hibernate after about a week of winter grey days of low daylight. Adding a daylight bulb remedied that and I was so glad you mentioned that as well!
I live in a cold climate and I try to keep his room 72 - 75 degrees and other people in my family shirt off the heater in his room... he has attempted twice and we are very lucky to get him back.
i just got my hedgehog from a garage sale... the owner said she has lived 3 years without a heater but i just bought a heat lamp and am hoping she is okay/better with it
Thank you so much for this video! I’m getting a hedgehog soon so I’ve done lots of research to give my hedgie the best life I can give it!
my hedgehog is so weird, I've had too many heating problems, over heating to be exact...so now, my hedgehogs room is cold even for me, but for him its perfect, anything more and he is splatting. He's like the opposite. He can handle less than 20 C. His stomach is always nice and warm...I've been very careful and picking his right temp, took me a while, and very careful to make sure its ok for him and check several times a day on him.
Picking up my first hedgie in about an hour 🦔 love your videos, thank you for educating!
Great video like always 😁👍🦔 the first time and only time My hedgehog tried to go into hibernation I got so afraid thank god i caught her in time and now I have a lot better heating in her enclosure for me space heaters did not work for some reason that’s why she almost hibernated. For a while now I have a heat lamp that she absolutely loves
Always love watching videos with all these great information.❤️👌🏼
Hi Tori Lynn, my hedgehog is about 1 1/2 and I have been noticing that she has been having trouble breathing so we took her to the vet and she got some antibiotics. She has been fine with that but then I noticed that in the last few days, shes hasn't been running on her wheel and not been eating her medicine, her food, and her water. I also have been trying to play with her for the last few days and she has been unresponsive but has been curled up in a ball. She sometimes snores, and she wasn't making the snoring noises anymore, (the noises were actually snoring because I asked the vet and she said that it was snoring). I watched your video today because I was really scared that she was going to hibernate and die. It was so helpful that I went and got a heat lamp hoping that it would help. I went to the store and when I came back, she had gotten out of her ball. I picked her up but she was pretty slow, and blinking slowly too. She was also wobbly, but I wasn't that scared because I heard what you said in the video. I am letting her rest now, and she is responsive. Do you have any ideas on how I can get her to eat and drink? Will she just do it eventually? You saved my hedgehogs life. I was so scared she was going to die! Thank you so much Tori Lynn!
hi last night i went to get my hedgehog out of her cage to play with her and she was in a ball and wouldn’t come out for a few minutes (not long, like 2) she usually comes out right away. she also didn’t seem as active as she normally is. i felt her stomach area and i noticed it was cold to the touch and she wasn’t walking properly (shaking a bit). at first i worried it was WHS but after putting a space heater on her for a bit she was walking normally and acting like herself. i knew about hibernation, but i didnt think that’s what it was until i did some research. i did what hedgehog central suggested (holding her close to my chest with a blanket over her). she hadn’t been eating as much as usual the past few days. my mom checked on her earlier today and she felt warm and was acting like her usual happy self. she had also eaten her food as usual. i put a heating pad under her bed area (don’t worry i did my research and it is a safe chick heating pad that works for hedgehogs). i am now playing with her and she seems like her normal self. i’m not sure if i should take her to the vet or not because she seems normal, but i think it might be a good idea just in case. any advice? anything helps
i’m so glad that i found this video. i was told about hibernation when i got my hedgehog. two days ago lol. i was told what to do, but i got really freaked out. i li be in colorado and it’s winter so i keep an eye on the temperature. i’m scared to go to school though. but i have a heating lamp and a heating pad under his bin cage and blankets. i’m so glad that i know about you know. i feel ready if anything happens. i’m scared but i know what to do now.!
My hedgehog went into Hibernation and I didn't realize. My dad left the window on during the freeze warning in Idaho that dropped to 30 degrees. It is so scary and he is under my shirt right now and its so uncomfortable it hurts so bad. But I need him to get better.
Is he ok?
@@thishd6596 yuh still alive :)
Thank you so much Tori for doing this hibernation video on hedgehogs and it was to see Draco hedgie 😊❤️😍😘 thank God my Salaha Juno and Nala Bramble they have went in hibernation 😊❤️
Ugh..... my worst fear is walking into my hedgehogs room and seeing her walking and shaking again like i did when i found her cold one night 😢😢😢 i sobbed for straight HOURS after..... worst experience ever.... so glad my babygirl Pepper is still here with me today❤ she was found with over TWO HUNDRED other hedgehogs in a hoarding situation in metro Detroit Michigan just over 2 years ago. The rehabilitation woman the state placed most of them with, said within 1 month the number she had went from 80 (mostly) adults to over 200 adults and mommas and babies! I'd be SO overwhelmed! 😮
This is an awesomely helpful video. I couldn't find much about hibernation. Thanks for making this!!
THANK YOU! I turned off the heater a couple days ago because the weather is warmer, but it got cold meanwhile the heater was off. So I was just cleaning out the cage and noticed the simptoms. Right now we are skin to skin.
You would have to be in unbelievable temperatures when rearmed quickly to go into shock. How cold was this hedgehog in the scenario?
Yay first like.
I loved the video!!! ❤️
great video! lots of helpful info you are such a great and relaxing speaker and so good at informing people!
You literally just saved my hedgehog live!
Glad the video helped!
Thank you so much for this video...saved my hedgehogs life! I love your videos. I have learned so much. You’re awesome!
holy shit. I thought she had WHS a couple months ago because when I searched the symptoms it’s all that would pop up! I started to hold her more thinking she would die soon, I wonder if my body heat helped her! we double checked everything in her home to make sure it was okay and we had to fix her temperature, but I thought no way that would contribute to WHS. wow. thank you so much for this maybe you should do a recap on this with winter coming up!!
we immediately insulated the windows in the hedgys room, and put a thermometer that automatically turns on a heater for him if it gets below 73 until it reaches around 75, i hope that is adequate as that is the temp we landed on combined with the centeral heating system of the house. We opened the vent to that room and closed our bedrooms so that we dont get overwhelmed with the heat at night. Working on a heat lamp as well just to make sure the winter is nice and warm. I didnt think about the light sources playing a role! after daylight savings i have noticed he will sleep into the night several hours after dark. ill definitely remember to turn on the light in that room once the sun sets for now on.
I went to check in my hedgehog and she wouldn’t come out of her ball even when I tried giving her worms (which she loves). I followed this video and she came out after about 2 mins!! Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much! This video saved my hedgehog!
Thank you so much. My baby was not eating and stuff and i knew something was up. She is in my fluffy sweater and I wanna thank you I didnt know what to do. So ty
Omg the thumbnail is soooooo cute!
I have a question, I saved my hedgehog from hibernation, he started waking up and being more alert and eating but I have noticed he has not been walking the same, his back legs are wide and he walks really slow .
Thank you so much. I seriously think my hedgehog would have died if you hadn't posted this video. Thank you so much.
Aww so fun to learn about hedgehogs! Hi Draco :3
Thank You so much !
Ahhh thank you so much!!
I'm a first time hedgehog owner the first time my hedgehog quil went into hibernation was my b-day and I was really worried but I got him out of his cage and just carried him around and then he started to warm up last night it was kinda cold outside and didn't think nothing of it and left my window cracked I woke up and he was in a ball and would not come out so I watched this video and then places him on my stomach he's starting to move around a little thank you for the video I was so worried!!😃
my bulb busted 😭
so scared rn
edit: i’m a first time hedgie mom
The more I learn about these little guys, the more they remind me of box turtles.
This saved my hedgehog 😭 thank you for sharing! ❤
I have been watching most of your hedgehog videos!! Very great. I actually just got a baby hedgehog!! His name is Brisby.
Our hedgehog is currently attempting hibernation. We live in Canada and it's getting colder. Due to the drop in temperature and day time hours, she is unresponsive. I have her under my shirt, under a blanket. I've turned up the heat to 90 degrees F and am patiently waiting for her to warm up. It's been over an hour and I'm worried.
What if you can't touch their stomachs? Mine is 99% of the time in a spiky ball and very angry..
Does this describe my hedgie:
He falls all the time
Lets me do anything to him
Doesnt move at all just sleeps in a warm towel
Breathes so little my dad tought he was dead and then I touched his nosed and he got in deffense mode for a few seconds
Really cold
He is a wild one and climate in Croatia is shit so we took him in for a few days then we released him back and a day later he was in the same spot so...n we warmed him up and we will contact a vet soon
#early
Love you and your pets very much!!!!!!!!
Im so scared my hedgehog has a cold stomach and is VERY wobbly when its walking and im sick so i cant warm it up with my body and im trying everything i can and am hoping for the best...😞😓
Did she he survived?
wait, but what if i have a wild hedgehog that i found on the streets? does he need to be at 72 too?
I’m so scared she won’t wake up! This helped me some, I hope my little baby wakes up!!!
Did she...?
@@breiffert yes she did :) I had to “defrost her” in a way
What if you on vacation and you can’t take them with you and nobody else knows how to take care of them, what can you do to make sure they are okay
Hi, please help me. Just found a hedgehog hibernation nest at an excavation area, it was partly undisclosed. I normally don’t like interrupting into nature things, but had to save the poor thing, since it was just by a few inches that machines missed it, also, dogs roam the area. We took home but didn’t wake up, weather outside is still cold (will be 1C overnight). I guess that’s too cold, so we covered it with leaves, and put in a ventilated cardboard box. It seems to have gone back to deeper sleep (when found, breathing was around 50/minute - regular for awaken status, now back to few a minute). Thankfully it’s not injured. I found an earthworm that I placed in the box in case it woke and cut an apple (hope that’s fine). I’d like to release the poor thing back to nature as soon as possible, but not rush awakening. What I’m currently concerned about is: is this weather not too cold for it? I guess the house is way too hot (20 C), and the only place, a storage room is even around 15-18C: it would surely wake there. What’s best to do now? Thanks!
Great video! So needed!
I live in arizona and the temperature is really hot here would a hedgehog be comfortable without a heating lamp or should I give it one period? I'm trying to find out as much as possible about heating because it seems it is one of the most important things about caring for a hedgehog
I really want to get a hedgehog so I'm like listening to this video and I literally love your hair
My room I keep my hedgehog in is 75 digress I hope that is ok for her
Do they lose use of their back legs when they are trying to go into hibernation? My hedgehog is very lethargic and dragging her back legs
It might be WHS, her legs could be paralyzed, this is very dangerous, how old is your hedgehog and when did you notice this? Also, I am not a professional, to be sure, please take her to a vet.
I want a hedgehog and I’ve learned a lot about them but how am I supposed to make sure that the hedgehog isn’t too cold when I bring it on a long road trip especially since my dad likes to keep the car cold .
Thank you, I was worried about my hedgehog because we had a big cold front that lasted 2 days, and she wasn’t eating, wasn’t drinking and like you said I picked her up and her belly was cold to the touch..but unfortunately the heating vent that she was near wasn’t reaching her enough so I gotta get a heating pad now
Thank u now I know because this is happening to my hedgehog..
Great video, good info! Have you ever done a video about how our domestic hedgehogs came to be? I’ve heard a lot of interesting things like how the African pigmie hedgehogs are a highbrid of two wild types.
Also I am in the process of switching my hedgehog, Baxter over to a new food!
Thank yooouuuu. I did a lot of research when i learned i was being given a hedgy, and nothing stated anything about attempted hibernation. Its my first winter with her and she's hidden in her tube and not moving (she's breathing though). I'm slowly warming her up in my lap.
(Edit) I'm really struggling to get her out of her tube, she's refusing but I'm still working on heating her
(Edit 2)
I removed her from her tube (rest in peace tube, i had to cut it open) and got her rested on my belly with some dried insects. She's sniffing them pretty intensely, but not eating yet, and she does have a cold belly, but mine should warm her well
I have one guinea pig (please do not hate on me I had two Guinea pigs but one passed) and three hamsters. I am highly thinking about getting a hedgehog. I am prepared for mess, smell, high-maintenance (as my guinea pig is all that plus a drama queen), and also it being nocturnal (I have three hamsters. Hamsters=nocturnal) Also I am fine with feeding live bugs, handling pointy quills, and a potentially unsocial hedgehog. I already have a small guinea pig cage collecting dust in the basement (it’s way too small for guinea pigs but probably okay for hedgies) I have hermit crabs which have a heat source (a heat pad) so probably my parents would be okay with me getting a heat lamp for the hedgie. I have an exotic vet ten minutes away, which I take my piggy and hammies to in case they get sick.
You guys made it to the end! What do you think??? Should I get a hedgie? I would prefer a male because 3/4 of my small animals are females (and I’m also okay with seeing masturbation, lol, I’m used to it, I bred my hamsters once so I saw it)
Someone please help so I got my hedgehog a day ago and it’s been pretty cold today, today I found him curled up in a ball not wanting to really do anything not even wanting to borrow into anything so I took him out and put him in a soft warm blanket in shock of thinking he’s in hibernation. Idk if he’s in hibernation someone please let me know but now he’s been a little more active walking around just a tiny bit to get comfortable so now he’s not curled up and he’s wobbly when he walks and also he doesn’t want to eat or drink anything I hope he went out of hibernation I still have him in the warm blanket someone please tell me if he was in hibernation when he was curled in a ball not wanting to move or get under anything as I really don’t want him to die
Yes, he was probably in hibernation, keep him warm (as consistently as possible) and he should start eating, it helps mine if I put her to my chest.
Also, hopefully I didn't comment to late.
Thanks because my headshots are right now hibernating
Dear PugPibbleHedgie, I have quick question that I hope you will see. I wanted a hedgehog and was hoping I would get one for Christmas...but I didn't. My parents said they will not let me have one until I move out of the house. Lots of people can relate. Anyways....If I ever get one and I don't have a lot of money to bye a heating lamp. Are heating blankets okay??? I saw a lot of them at my local Target and I was hoping that it will work out. Thanks and keep up the good work!
No, unfortunately heating blankets aren't a good option for hedgehogs, neither are heating pads. :)
Ella Coates I feel bad for you 🙁
I want a hedgehog very badly. I’ve done my research, started saving up money, etc. Unfortunately my parent think they “stink, make a mess, and are expensive” I thought about a hamster but I don’t necessarily think that a hamster is the best fit for me. Anybody have any advice?
Tori I could really use your help. My hedgehog had started to hibernate back in October and it was because we let our house get too cold, so we watched this video and bought a heat lamp and thermometer for her cage. But we find she still is getting symptoms of hibernation (cold stomach/feet, balled up, wobbly) even with the house at 76 and her heat lamp on when it goes below 73 and it’s January
Any idea how to stop her from going back into hibernation? It can’t be good for her and I’ve been trying everything I can think of:/
I’d increase her heat even more. Try and keep her closer to 78-80° and see if that helps. Some hedgehogs just need to be kept on the warm end of their spectrum permanently.
My hedgehog is currently trying to hibernate. I stumbled on this video in a panic trying to help her. I came home and her heat was off which never happens. She was curled up in a ball and would only uncurl when I pet the quila directly on her back. Even though she didn’t uncurl I’m guessing it was a muscle response because she looked asleep. I finally got her to kind of open her eyes and I have her on skin to skin right now trying to get her all the way awake. I’m scared 😭
My hedgehog is 1 years old almost 2 she hasn’t eaten much or drinking. She drank a lil and ate 2-3 pellets . She isnt rlly wobbling but I’m rlly scared and need help I’m not... ok so I was writing this comment at 1am it’s now 3:08 am she was trying to hibernate 😐
Hello, I love your care videos, I recently got my hedgehog for my birthday and I have been really worried about his heat set up. I do have a question, how can you tell when a bulb is busted or not working anymore?
I am getting a hedgehog and this is good info ! X
Thank you so much for making these videos
Tysmmmmmm very helpful im crying because shes trying to hibernatee😥😥😥
Hello, I love all your videos! Just got a hedgehog for Christmas (his name is Quinn) and I typically keep my house at 64. I have no issues getting a heat lamp but I thought they like the darkness? I don't want to upset him by have a light pointed on him all day. Please advise. Thank you.
So I have a question, if you have a CHE how can you tell if the light bulb went out since they don't emit light. I'm getting a hedgehog soon, and I'm taking notes using your videos and others. It's what i do before I get any animal so I know the things to look out for and how to properly care. Anyway thanks for any feedback given❤💕
