Thank you for watching my videos! This channel is dedicated to animal education and improving the lives of captive animals.
Here’s little about me!
My name is Meghan Arriola and I live in Texas with my husband Jaime, where I dedicate my time to taking care of exotic and domesticated animals on my farm. We run a rescue and sanctuary for animals like alpacas, birds and reptiles. I do animal education presentations for groups and schools. Our alpacas also do events where we are able to teach people about these unique animals. I have used service dogs for medical needs for over 10 years and I am an advocate for assistance animals and mental health awareness.
I am an animal educator that brings science related ideas to an audience from around the world by presenting fun and interesting topics in a family friendly way. Animals touch our lives in unique ways everyday as simply being our pets and companions, but how can we make their lives equally as special now that they live in captivity? My KZbin channel and blog explore ways to meet this goal by tackling things like animal behavior, human-animal relationships and veterinary medicine. Animal science is a great way to teach people of all ages that education is fun and nerdy is cool.
My previous animal related work experience includes working in veterinary clinics, private zoos, training horses and volunteer work in wildlife rehabilitation, rescue/foster/adoption programs and therapeutic horsemanship for children with disabilities.
When I am not working with animals, I am working at the health care clinic owned by my husband Jaime and I, where we provide services to low income, minority neighborhoods. We have been on the frontlines fighting covid19. I also have a passion for art and I am an award winning painter and photographer and published author. I am naturally very introverted but I am extroverted about sharing my passions and doing my part to make the world a better place!

Thank you so much I didn’t know my hedgehog didn’t have good eyesight because my hedgehog walk off my table but I caught him just in time

[@trevorpatton7450]

Thanks this made me and my hedgy become best buds

[@user-zz2gh8lr1s]

my problem is my hedgehog goes to bed at 10pm and wakes up at around 6am. she didn’t get the nocturnal memo or something

[@lhemuelleesamillano5697]

My hedgehogs brought me here. This video really help me thanks a lot ❤️

[@caiitliin]

I love hedgehogs.Sometimes I think it is mean and cruel to keep a wild animal but at the same time they are cute and nice. They are a little dangerous though, depending what mood they are in.

[@heidi7985]

I wouldn't say they are dangerous. They are always a little grumpy but they don't bite.

[@aahpoiseeh]

@@heidi7985 they do bite. I have 2 hedgehogs. One is a biter. If you put your hand in front, she will get your skin lol The other just bites when someone is tasty or something like that. So... it dependa on hedgehogs personality.

[@heidi7985]

@@aahpoiseeh What I meant was they won't bite randomly. There's things that set them off, and even then it doesn't hurt as much as quilling.

[@lyla4035]

Thanks for the info even though I have a hedgehog

[@mrsfrankiee75]

Totally random but how did you make your animated profile picture with all your pets???

[@elizabethnoelle353]

i have been looking into getting a hedgehog , but my question is what kinds of vet care do hedgehogs need ?

[@KingofBeasts444]

Okay, but how many rings do they collect a day?

[@TheCzarniks]

Cool

[@graceet1319]

Can I do the clothing thing with my Guinea pigs

[@mypetworld5139]

Do you have pet rats if you can you please feature them in your next videos?😊

[@laurafragoso2165]

Im scared of picking it up when it’s in a ball :c but I can’t seem to grab it yet unless it’s with gloves 🧤

[@noestoo4225]

I have 2 hedgehogs for about 4 months and i still cant seem to bond mich with them one is really grumpy and likes to bite me if i get close or hold him tje other one is so scared and shy she only curls up and hisses and even in the cage always hides away when i just so much as get close.. i dont know what im doing wrong or what i can do the only tome they let me hold them is during baths and the shy one sometimes manages to fall asleep on my lap if i take her out but only if i wrap her in a cuddle blanket. They also hate any form of light and only move when I'm in bed and alk the koghts are off.. im really sad that it seems so difficult for me to bond and im so jeakous of the ppl who bonded with their hedgehogs in less than 2 weeks... like how one earth u guys do it

[@SJP-AL]

I just got a hedgehog and it’s scared af

[@itsBuggy]

This video has great info. Too bad hedgehogs are illegal in my state haha.

[@iamketchup9735]

Meeting too I live in GA

[@marissa9275]

Hi! I’m looking into getting a hedgehog for myself and I have a questions that I was hoping you could answer (if not I completely understand). How often do they get sick? Thank you for your time and I really appreciate it 😊

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

If you get a hedgehog from a reputable breeder and provide correct care, they don't get sick. Pet shop hedgehogs have a lot of health problems, mites is a big one. My hedgehog was very healthy all his life and at almost five he had seizures and had to be put to sleep. He never got sick until the very end and the cause was just old age.

[@marissa9275]

@@HappyTailsAnimals thank you so much!!

[@stanleyyy427]

I’ve head my hedgie for 2 weeks now and he’s starting to warm up to me a bit but he’s also very grouchy and I’m trying to hard to bond with him but he’s so grouchy.. I think he hates me haha.

[@rhondamadgirl]

It’s a year later, and I’m curious how it’s going?.

[@stanleyyy427]

@@rhondamadgirl he’s still extremely grumpy 😞 I think it’s just his personality honestly, he has his sweet moments too ^^

[@rhondamadgirl]

@@stanleyyy427 I’m disappointed. It’s been about two weeks, and every time there ANY exposed skin, he latches on with his jaws. He even ran up my chest and bit my chin before I could respond. My arms are covered with bites and bruises.

[@stanleyyy427]

@@rhondamadgirl have you been putting him in time out when he bites? it’s unusual for them to do that, but i had a mild issue with him biting and the time outs seemed to help, it will take time for him to warm up to you

[@sophiapack3754]

how can i give my NOT tame hedgehog a bath

[@wolfyplayz5758]

HIII!!!
