My GF wants a hedgehog....anyone here have experience.


Aquarium or wire cage?
any special supplies beside food and water?

are they general mean animals?

 

[So]

No advice, but I've read good things. A rat might be easier and they are more popular (so more resources) but your GF might be squeamish.

I played Sonic before...it was pretty cool.

the hedgehog cannot be buggered at all

your gf rocks! i;d love to have a hedgehog but stupid laws in PA prohibit it.

*attemping to hold back comments involving Sonic*

I think they'd be along the same lines as Guinea Pigs.

 

[randay]

just make sure to feed it a lot of coins.

 

[mordantmonkey]

they're pretty cool, you can even pet them... one direction only though. baisically like having a gerbil or a guinea pig. though i don't think they eat their young.

I was thinking about getting one. They're like $100. But would it really hurt if you "pet" them the wrong way? It's not like they're porcupines.

Oooh. Point. Looks like it's illegal for him to have one:

LOL, excellent. :laugh:

 

[nakedfrog]

They're pretty cool... there was a girl here on OT that used to breed them, but I can't remember her name.

 

[Howard]

They (in fact, almost any kind of pet) need lots of space. Get a huge cage if possible.

 

[pontifex]

Hedgehogs can easily become obese. If a pet hedgehog appears to be gaining too much weight, it is important that the hedgehog?s caretaker cut back on sweets, on fat, and perhaps on the amount of food altogether. That a hedgehog can no longer roll completely into a ball is a sign of obesity.

i thought that was kind of funny for some reason.
