[@Gaia_BentosZX5]

Hedgehogs also bite what's in front of them, so keep that in mind when trying to calm one down.

[@gypkyss1163]

ive watched alot of theses videos and i still dont understand why people insist on holding and moving their hedgies around when they clearly do NOT want to be held and are so uncomfortable they hiss and roll in a ball.. i got my hedgie a couple weeks ago and hes 2 months now. He was such a grump when i first got him he never moved out of his ball but with patience, and only letting him get used to my scent first with used tshirts in his cage and using gloves to pick him up and let him explore my lap and my scent, now he only gets a little cranky when woken up! And then he puts his quills all the way down and lets me pick him up no problem. i dont see why people think forcing an animal to be uncomfortable will make them more comfortable.... be patient peopllleeeee

[@kRazyyyyyyy]

this! i hate that in every video i see.... sure they wanna show this and that, but ffs don't hold up the poor guy for ages when he/she is obviously angry af.

[@zenpehs5157]

They have to be held everyday

[@Yukanhayt-Mhenow]

I would be biting like crazy if someone kept picking me up and rolling me around uncontrollably

[@lemolea9571]

Yes! Also they're so loud in these videos, hedgies have sensitive ears! (apparently they can hear worms in the ground) The slow way you're describing is called 'earning their trust', these videos are all basically conditioning them, not letting them trust you. The only time you should pick up an animal that doesn't want to be handled is for medical/safety reasons.

[@uuzoo]

It sounds and looks to me like she was only trying to make an example. Nothing else. That's why she made a video.

[@crystalwolf2006]

I find rubbing stripes of fleece on your body and placing them in their hide where they sleep and feel the most comfortable helps them get used to your scent as well.

[@rockmanmix6242]

Maybe hedgehogs that hiss are like shadow

[@IsabellaCasares-ci6jy]

👍

[@VlogsOfBee]

the hissing and jumping scares me lol. i have a new hedgie. and she's defensive but she doesnt stay in her ball long...i havent really held her in my bare hands yet because she's always trying to crawl away and hide.

[@lestafexsullivan3973]

VlogsOfBee update? ❤️

[@tatik7691]

There nocturnal so threw out the day you have to let them sleep or they can get sick and threw out the night you can feed them at around 6:00 p.m and then you can take them out in about an hour an a half after there feeding or right after you have to let them rest and sleep or it probably will cause grumpy-ness and make them like pissed off so you have to let them rest threw out the whole day and not bother them ( most better for them in a dark room but not completely blacked out but dark enough where you can still see normaly) and then when it’s sun down you can take them out and play

[@squirrel8185]

I completely agree with you but I want to add one thing to your comment. It is fine to get a hedgehog out in the middle of the day if the goal is to simply put him in between two shirts, in a hoodie pocket, or let him curl up in your blankets with you for an extended period of time. If woken up in the day they will become curious and excited for a little bit but they quickly took her out, and if you can get them to sleep with you that is a big step forward to gaining trust with the hedgehog. But the original comment is right if you're constantly getting them up in the day they will start to get grumpy kind of like if someone keeps waking you up in the middle of the night. That said they're not actually nocturnal. They're pescular. It means they like to be up for a couple hours just before Dawn and after Dawn sleep through the day wake up a little bit before the sun sets and then go back to sleep about halfway through the night. Animals that are pescular are actually more common than animals that are nocturnal.

[@MelancholyAsh]

They got cute noises when it hisses 😂 sounds like sneezes

[@succmerei5157]

My hedgehog is always very angry and I have been with him for 3 months, I do not know if it is natural, but I want it to be more affectionate :(

[@hippyhedgies6010]

Hi there, Do you spend time with your hedgie every day? I would recomment to start, put one of your shirts in his cage so he can burrow in it and associate your smell with happiness and calmness. I would also say to spend time with him every day, even if your just watching a movie or something take him out and let him wander around (make sure there is nothing around that he can burrow under and hurt himself*****) and pick him up often until he starts to get used to being handled.

[@charlesdiamond1904]

If it's really young it could be quilling which is similar to babies teething and they have a lot of discomfort during this process. Look up quilling for more info. Hope that helps some.

[@GreyGrim]

some hedgehogs are just more defensive than others, different personalities, but honestly hedgehogs aren't meant to be pets, it's not natural, the only time hedgehogs interact with each other is when they breed, they are very territorial and solitary animals, they like to be left alone.

[@nunpho]

They are solitary animals, they won't be affectionate

[@joshpickles9022]

They aren't really pets.

Omg You Are So Pretty . Thank You For All The Information

[@desertrose1226]

I absolutely ❤️ hedgehogs! They’re the cutest little things.

[@flyberd7848]

I recommend handling it minimally and using something like a bonding pouch and sitting to watch tv or relax. Eventually it’ll trust you on its own time. Also give it a mealworm with each interaction but as it trusts and bonds more reduce it so it isn’t only associating you with treats and possibly losing interest in its “kibble”.

We got a hedgehog for our daughter in law and it was a very angry female hedgehog. Turns out she was pregnant and gave birth to 6 babies, of which she ate 4 of them and left only 2, one male and one female. She kept the female baby and gave the male baby and Momma back to the owner and kept the baby female, which she had until it's death just recently.

Good information. Have had a hog(Loony), for a couple weeks. The cage is his domain & safety. Doesn't like to be out for long, and gets aggressive. If I try & pick'em up. However, if I put my hands flat-on-the-floor, he'll climb right on. I wonder if it's a natural predator defense. The hedgehogs feel your hands closing, and they feel trapped, which is terrifying. Would it help if I got a buddy, to keep'em company?

[@reneecook2972]

I was luckythistime, Miss Willow is amazingly sweet. My question is on diet. Every book I've read states something diffsfefnt. So, is it safe to give my baby a teaspoon of high quality canned day food even night? Do the like peanut butter? TIA-RENEE

I have two questions. I see a lot of people waking up they’re hedgehog. Is there a reason that it’s good to wake them up? I’m just curious why I see this so frequently. Also, what is the average life span of a hedgehog? This was a helpful video. I’ve been considering getting a hedgehog. They are the cutest.

[@byronkobialko3442]

My kid has now been bitten by our new hedgehog three times. The last time it hung on and didn't want to let go. What do we do to make it stop? We really want to give this creature areal good on getting it to be tame and gentle with us. It is always in a ball and we give it baths and attention every day, bribing it with treats. It is a 2-year-old male.

[@djjones7039]

Tell your kid to LEAVE HIM ALONE obviously the hedgehog is uncomfortable with your son if he's being bitten. Next time tell your son to be patient n associated his son with calmness by ripping up a soft shirt w his scent in hedgies cage before trying to handle him

[@desertrose1226]

Maybe it’s just naturally vicious... my dog seems that way.

[@byronkobialko3442]

it was actually my daugther whom was very calm with him. He is still remains very angry and has bitten me a few times

[@annuhlisa]

What if my hedgehog doesn’t go in a ball? Like I’ll slowly flip her on her back but she always immediately straightens out and tries to flip on her right side up

[@gemstrange1598]

Seems like she's more on the flightly side, some hogs aren't too comfortable being in the ball state, especially if they're more confident.

She hasn't eaten much food since she got here nor has she pooped since I got her. I'm not sure if that's normal. I tried putting her in my palms like you demonstrated in the video but even then she stayed in her tight ball and hissed the whole time. I have a shirt in her cage and I've been trying to give her treats such as veggies but she is absolutely not having it. What should I do? Please help
