I NEVER WANT TO OWN HEDGEHOGS AGAIN. (STORYTIME?)

IF YOU THINK YOU WANT TO BUY A HEDGEHOG, WATCH THIS AND LISTEN TO MY EXPERIENCE FIRST.
WATCH MY UPDATE WHERE I GO AGAINST WHAT I SAID IN THIS ONE HEAVILY: • I SWORE I'D NEVER OWN ...
I AM A MESS.
I actually filmed this 4 days ago, but I kept going back and forth debating if I should edit and upload it or not. Finally I decided to go ahead and do it... with my emo black streaks in my hair and all (don't worry, they are extensions and u will never have to see them again). Also don't worry I'm not turning into a story time youtube channel hahaha. but since I talked for 20 min about a personal experience I felt as if it fit into that genre that people search up. :-)
since it's such a hot video topic right now i just kinda titled it this way ironically..,...
-----------------------
I do not regret owning any of my hedgehogs, Nala was the reason I discovered I could use my love of animals to uplift others and be a positive impact on people. Piper was so silly and cute and gave me so many good experiences.

I would really like to share my experience. About a year ago, I adopted a guinea pig named Syrup, and she was really healthy and as far as I knew, happy. She was young, too. After only a month, she stopped eating, so I took her to the vet. The vet said that Syrup’s teeth were growing inward. So every time she ate, she would stab her tongue with her teeth. We had to feed her through a syringe. Three days passed, and she died in the middle of the night. We all love our pets and we all know they’ll die one day. Thank you for telling us about your hedgehogs and listening to my story as well.

[@vanillawaffle8418]

Orchid _lava1011 thank you so much for saying that

[@stacydilmoresmith3272]

;-; poor little syrup and i feel bad for you aswell, she is in gods care and i wish there was something we could do about it! also, the guy that sold you syrup probably knew about syrups condition.

[@fritzjagr5121]

Poor thing. I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I'm wondering if the name "Syrup" was given after she started having tooth problems, and could only be fed through a syringe (in what would be a "syrup-like" form) or it was purely a coincidence.

Sally Guthrie I made a comment on a video expressing how I felt. You made the choice to look at the comments before you watched the video. I honestly don't understand why you are commenting on the fact that I "ruined" the video for you when the video is about a pet Taylor just lost. Could you find something else to comment on please? Preferably something about the video and a bit more empathetic.

[@brookecaptainhook7255]

Dude you made me cry! Also i lost a hedgehog once,her name freeda and she was the nicest hedgehog ever and then we lost her. She was only 2 and the most precious thing ever

[@Hello_kitty_on_top_0311]

I feel bad for you we had a dog.She was a Jack Russell her name was Stinky.She was pretty old.About in her teens or 20s.Any ways a few days before we went on vacation she was throwing up not eating or drinking that much and she was very sluggish.So I took a few pictures before we left.On our way home I fell asleep in the car.And my parents woke me up while we were in the neighborhood and sadly our dog passed away.We loved our dog she was so sweet and was so happy and entertaining.But if she saw someone she didn't know she would bark.Before she died she put her front paws on my uncle's legs took one last breath and died.We still don't know how she died but we think she either had heart worm or cancer but we don't know.But we got her ashes and she will always be remembered😭

[@grapejuice3988]

IM really sorry to hear about Freeda. I have a hedgehog and she is the sweetest soul i have ever met in an animal in my life, we love her so much but she is dying. I am not sure how long she has left but there is apparently nothing we can do at this point. I don’t know how to deal with seeing her like this and the thought of losing her and I am really struggling with it.

[@thetay905]

Well since we are all on the topic, I suppose I can share my story too. My hedgehog's name was Kimchi, one of the sweetest little creatures I've ever come to know. She was so welcoming and precious, I just adored her. She would actually climb out of her cage whenever we approached because she was excited to come out and explore. But for some reason, she went from climbing and running around to completely lethargic and gagging. She was cold, which has happened before but we warmed her up. She was only two months old, and she died later that night. It's one of the most painful experiences you can go through, and the fact she was just a baby I mean, can it get any worse? Either way, we bought her from this breeder, she seemed trustworthy and said she was certified, but you can never know the real conditions these animals are bred. I would love to get another spikey friend in the future, its just so hard to trust people these days.

[@marszenka]

This is entirely on the breeder. If you feel like you want to try to get another hedgie in the future, look for a licensed breeder. A good breeder will have a lifetime warranty against WHS and at least a year guarantee against cancer - they're trying to make strains that are cancer-resistant, but of course 0 cancer is an impossible result for any animal. The breeder who gave you Solara sounds like a good egg since she was completely upfront about the possibilities for the specific animal she was selling you. Other things to look for are whether they have really good care information on their website, and whether or not they have a policy for unwanted animals - it seems like reputable breeders will ask the people who don't want their hedgies anymore to return them to the breeder because they are selective about the homes they go to. Some breeders even run hedgehog rescues! My favorite in my state is called Storybook Hedgehogs. If you ever want to reach out to them, they might be able to recommend trustworthy breeders in your region so you can just love the little guys without this kind of heartbreak. I'm so sorry about Piper. This is incredibly sad - please know that you did everything you could and you were let down by both the exotic pet guy and the first vet. Not your fault.

[@marszenka]

(yes I liked my own comment, I'm not normally this vain but this is really important info for anyone who might be thinking about getting a hedgie! Do your research first).

[@laurenmellen654]

I have owned hedgehogs nearly all my life, and with the exception of two (one I took in because I knew she was weak and needed a loving home), all of my hedgehogs lived to be at least four. I had a hedgehog who lived to be 9 yrs old. In her old age, all her teeth fell out, her hind legs were stiff with arthritis, and she lost her vision, but she was still insisting on running in her wheel right up until her final few days! Whoever bred your three hedgehogs did a rotten job. Also, who ever gave you a hard time about your crestie dropping it's tail knows nothing. One of my cresties dropped his tail because a cricket jumped on it. Some cresties are just high-strung and prone to panick. Another thing, (adding to my already too long comment) if you know something's wrong and the vet won't listen, get a second opinion. My parrotlet was eggbound and the vet wouldn't even take x-rays because she looked and acted fine. I payed $30 for him to tell me I had a healthy bird, so I took her to a different vet and I was right. That vet saved my baby's life. I'm so grateful I didn't have to learn my lesson the hard way and I'm so sorry you're baby was victim to an arrogant vet who thinks he knows each individual animal better than their owner. I guess what I'm trying to say in this long, ranty comment is, I have been there. I've encountered a lot of what you're talking about and I'm so sorry you have to go through all that.

[@jessicar7061]

I just wanted to say, I'm sorry for your loss(es) and all the heartache that came along with it.. I have been there, not with a hedgehog, but I've been there.. and watching this video of you talking about your experience really brought back those feelings for me. There's really no other words for it.. I just know how you felt and wanted to say I'm sorry :'( Just keep loving your other pets, you're a great pet mamma

Animal deaths are truly painful. I remember having my rabbit in a good cage inside and my dog was outside. And my dog was really nice to my bunny and all so I never worried. But when I went to WalMart and came back, my rabbits cage was outside and I asked my mom "why is it outside?" And she said that she left it there because it was making a mess. Then, I went out to check on my bunny and she wasn't in her cage. I found bits and pieces of her fur around my backyard and I followed it and found her dead body eaten out. I instantly blamed my dog because his stomach was full. It broke my heart because it was like having your son kill your daughter. I still have that dog and I have forgiven him, because it's been 4 years. I remember going to my rabbits grave every night to tell her everything that has happened to me that day and how my life has been and then tell her 'goodnight' So I feel your pain of an animals death.

I had a sad death experience with my snake hat died recently. Please for any one who is thinking about getting a pet from petsmart or PETCO don't do it, because I did research after my pet died, and pets there are usually sick and aren't taken care of well. So I got her on my birthday and loved her so much the day I got her but the problem was that she hadn't eaten at all. We tried to feed her for 3 months and she never ate. We found out the store had sold us a sick snake and snake died a few days ago.I have been crying for a while now and I really loved her😭💕

R.I.P my Hedgehog too

[@rozbiuamsuoik]

I had a hedgehog, would never buy one again and I strongly discourage others! I had a hedgehog, she was my best friend. After two years I had to put her down... Pet hedgehogs are such a unnatural and forced breed, they get sick very easily and knowledge about any treatment is very limited. Mine had neurological issues which is very common. We tried several treatments with my vet, mainly injections, many painful injections... After a few weeks of battling and crying and force-feeding and watching her starving and going crazy I had to end her suffering. Before getting her I was going to buy other one from other breeder, but two baby hedgehogs died.

[@buggy4532]

rozbiuamsuoik Maybe the breeders in your area aren't the best?

[@rozbiuamsuoik]

they weren't from my area, I was searching in my whole country... there are so many lonely cats, dogs, rabbits for adoption, please consider this while looking for a pet :)

[@buggy4532]

rozbiuamsuoik I understand, I found my cat on the street. They make the best pets! But with things like hedgehogs they may have been surrendered/abandoned for illness or being too much to handle? Idk, I'm in Australia and that's the main reason for surrendering rodents. I guess my point is that even though they are prone to sickness and don't live long, every moment you have them counts. Even if they cost a lot, caused a lot of pain, they caused so much joy and they knew love for the time they were in your home. Sorry if it seems like I'm arguing with you!

[@rozbiuamsuoik]

me neither! I'm just sharing my point od view, it changed very much recently. It's about life of living and feeling creatures, so I think it's important to talk about it :) (tl;dr: I strongly recommend everybody educating themselves as much as possible and visiting an animal shelter before making decisions what animal to get :) ) After loosing my hedgehog I knew I couldn't live without an animal. As a child we had a beautiful pure breed dog. After a lot of research I wanted to try adopting a dog from a shelter. I heard stories how it looks there, but it's nothing compared to reality... Visit in a dog shelter shattered me. We found a dog that suited our abilities and conditions. People did horrible things to her, she had very sad life, but she trusted us completely after a few days. Everybody that meets her says how beautiful and cheerful she is :) She really is a wonderful dog, beautiful, cute, loving, playful, very smart and soooo happy! Most, if not all, animals in shelters are perfectly fine and need just some love, time and home. And of course, I love my hedgehog so much and my heart will never fully heal. And I still think they are very cute and amazing creatures, but now, knowing how it is with hedgehogs I would personally feel bad giving money to breeders so they can breed more of them. But everybody makes their own decisions and I don't want to judge anyone.

When my girl peanut died it wasn't the death that hurt, it was the force feeding & trying to help her but not succeeding. It tore my heart up because as her "mother" I wanted to make everything better.

[@DrPucky]

I know... force feeding is awful. I had to force feed birds, and sometimes it killed them...but they would be dead otherwhise too (with birds, if they swallow from the wrong side it goes in their lungs and they die from an aweful death...) I also had to amputate one to save his life, it's the worst thing ever. (The bird was living with his colony in a huge cage outside, and this one got a hair entangeled around his foot, saw it when it was too late, the foot was starting to rot...) The bird lived without his foot, but man... Doing this without anesthetics (you don't have another choice with birds so small) was aweful.

[@clararose1795]

Kelly Oreos I feel your pain. A few years ago, my moms shitzu, Jack, was dying of cancer, and a few days before it happened she took off with her sister because she couldn't deal with it. My dad hated Jack, and just put him outside in the cold to die alone because he was crying so loudly and my dad didn't want to pay to euthanize him. I brought him into my room, and had to force feed and water him for two days. Eventually I crushed up some pain pills and force fed him that to take his pain away. I was like 15, it was the hardest thing Ive ever had to do.

LONG SUPPORTIVE POST WARNING! I just want to say that anyone who takes the time to really watch your videos can't NOT see how taking care of your animals is your passion and full-time job. The difference between you and other pet care KZbinrs is how you care for them. You have more than comfortable enclosures for them, the best food and equipment. You give them more than love, but the best home they could ask for. Your knowledge on each of your animals and what they need is more than most owners have. (It has inspired me to learn all I can about my animals!) Nala and Piper would have ended up dying just like they did recently in another home. They would have had the same symptoms...but they would have been with another hog parent who may not have been as educated as you about animals or who may not have had the resources to pay for the medicine. (So many people think that if they can afford the animal and it's enclosure then that's enough) They may have been with someone who may not have taken the time to hand feed them and give them medicine multiple times a day. I'm new to the animal care side of youtube, but Taylor, you are so educated on your animals and make sure you are able to provide for them if the worst happens. You make sure you are able to give them the best care they can have. Nala and Piper are the luckiest hedgehogs to have had your care at the end of their life because, I imagine that if they were in another home, they would have been having the exact same symptoms but would have suffered alone until they passed. You gave them they happiest life they could have asked for, and I'm not just saying that. Why do you think you have so many subscribers in such a short amount of time? Because we all see how not only do you give the so much love, but you take the time to understand what the animal needs, what they will need in the future, what the animal likes and doesn't, and the best brands and best products. You are a phenomenal animal keeper and because of that, watching you take care of all of your happy animals gives us viewers such a warm and fuzzy feeling of peace. It makes me so happy to know that they are being cared for in a way that so many animals aren't. I'm sending so much love your way and I thank you for giving your animals an amazing life. Just like that quote says, they may be a part of your life, but you are their entire life...and their entire life was filled with so much love and quality care.

[@lmao7725]

meow16 when I was about 6 My mum texted my big sister saying that we had a surprise present When my mum got home, she had a baby bunny, and we named the bunny ruby, my mum said she found ruby in the of the road, so she picked ruby up, me and my sister got so exited, we got a cage and padded it with clothing, ruby the bunny only lasted 10 mins with us, she started hitting her small head on the side of the cage, bc she was a shock, and after she hit her head, she didn't move, so we took her outa the cage, and she didn't do anything, so we built her a little grave, but we didn't want to put her under ground, so instead we put her in her cage beside the grave, the next day, she was gone, no blood left at all, we thought it was the cats, but they didn't have any sign of blood on them, when we ask about if they killed a mouse, they leave, we asked about ruby to the cats, they didn't leave, I hope ruby is still alive and well, but if she isn't, then, we will never forget her

[@imthesadguyduh]

meow16 we had a puppy for 2 months she was just a baby. Happy, wild, sweet. She got parvovirus and my parents tried to nurse her back to health though the situation of my brother's birthday going on. She just got worse really early in the morning my parents woke up and saw that there was blood in her stool and rushed her to the vet hospital. I heard them wake me up and I never wake up late at night by little noises so I knew something was up. She stayed in the hospital for 2 days then I visited her. She looked bad but I still had hope for her... the next day was Monday I think and we went to school really depressed and deep down I knew she was gone. My grandma and my mom were there to pick us up from high school. They told us that Sophie looked so terrible and the vet said the best thing to do was to put her down but they still offered more days to treat her but that was already thousands of money spent already.. so they put her down. They said she wasn't alone that grandma and mom were there but I felt betrayed. I wanted to be there I wanted her ashes I wanted to hold her one last time. And it hurts so much to this very day knowing that the last time I saw her I only got to touch her little paw... I just wanted to hold her one last time. It sucks too because months before we got her our dog of 4 years died from i don't know what she bleed everywhere and her guts came out her butt and no one was there when she died. I miss Perty I miss Sophie. Most of all I miss Luma she's another dog who died at 4 years old. It's sad that you come home saying "I'm going give Luma a bath" "we're going to take her walking" then just see she's gone. All the dogs got out because of this Labrador we had he just loved to open the gate for everyone leave. The lab and the other dog that got out was fine and that gave us hope that Luma was still alive. I stayed home to watch to see if she would get home. It felt like hours I would pace back and forth to the front door to the back yard door. My brother... in his lowest time I just... he burstef into the house and screamed "LUMA'S DEAD" I screamed, I blamed God I cussed out loud for the very first time. It changed me so much. I hated the Labrador for doing this. Luma got hit by a car. My dad got one of my old blankets and buried her in our yard.. I never saw her again. And guess what. She died after my parents anniversary then the next day was my cousin's birthday.. how could 2 happy events have such a horrible event happen in between. I mean I didn't see her after the dinner my mom and dad had. And in the morning I don't even remember seeing her either. But she was there after my surgery. She was there when I needed love and I wasn't there they they found her that hurts a lot. I can't stop thinking about them. And I'm crying so much right now because I loved them so much. We have a new dog after so long. She is okay. She was on death row when we adopted her. Nobody wanted her I guess, but I can't love her like I loved the others but I'm trying to care for her as long as she's here. (Her name is Starry it's kinda sad because I almost call her Sophie every time because she acts like a fusion of Perty and Sophie it's really weird but she likes to cuddle like Luma... Starry confuses me but I still like her)

[@hailthewolfie8678]

This was a real eye opener for me. I was 11 when i rescued a hedgehog from a home that he was being neglected and subjected to a filthy environment. The owners at that time said he was 7 months old. I know that 11 is very young to own a pet like a hedgehog (and it was my first pet that belonged to me) but i always had this passion in my heart for animals and rescuing everything I could. I had always been that kid at school to rescue that butterfly from being ripped to shreds by other students. We had owned many pets as a family such as a beardie and dogs and cats. So when someone asked me if I wanted a hedgehog, I said yes. I had no idea what a hedgehog was at the time, let alone their care. Once we took it home I got to see it for the first time I knew I needed to give it the best life possible. I was told to only feed him cat food and a few dried meal worms, but I immediately did all of my research and gave him all natural pre made hedgehog food, live worms and proper cleaning. He thrived and was my best friend. I handled him daily and took him everywhere I went. He loved his life and I could tell. I would open his cage take his blanket off him and talk to him and he would immediately put his quills down. I loved him so much and only being around 11 and 12 gave him the best life I could see for him. Then he started going off food when he turned 2. I didn't worry about it at first since I couldn't really tell at the time because i regularly gave him many meal worms and figured he wasn't hungry. But like a week later he developed a huge bulbous bump on his side above his back right leg. My parents kept telling me everything was fine and that he didn't need to see a vet. I started cleaning his tank more and more often (like every day) but the process of taking his entire cage out and taking him in and out constantly was visibly stressing him out so I stopped doing full cleanings every day. And the lump kept getting worse and my mom told me it was because of "lack of cleaning" but I was giving him an average amount of cleaning. My parents claim to know more about him then me and I trusted them. But his food was getting less and less touched every day and I noticed he was running on his wheel less and less. So one evening I took him out and tried to feed him his favorite food (meal worms) but when I put it in front of him he missed a few times so I hand fed him and it took him almost a minute to chew. He usually would suck them up like a vacuum but he had no energy to do so. I told my parents what was going on and that I knew something was wrong. They told me that I was being dramatic and he was fine. That night I put him back in the middle of his enclosure and went to sleep. I had insomnia that night because I knew in my heart something was off. The next morning I went to check on him and he was in the exact same place he was in last night when I put him back the night before. I knew he was gradually getting worse up to that point but I couldn't bring myself to confront those thoughts. But I finally did that morning I looked and him and he had absolutely no energy to even walk. He looked pale and too thin. I got him in his pouch as quickly as possible begging my grandma to come pick me up early and I went exotic vet searching and was turned down by multiple vets when we came across a vet who was there. Turns out that he had a huge tumor developing in and on his leg. The vet said he looked way to skinny and said it was best to put him down (she didn't say that directly but she hinted at it). Those last moments I spent with him was the most active he'd been in days. It felt like he almost knew what was happening. The vet says he hadn't been experiencing pain yet but it would start getting really bad soon and he would only have a week or so. I chose to euthanize him instead of making him suffer. but after that I felt that it was my fault because my parents would blame it on me not cleaning him enough (even though all the cleaning was stressing him out. This video really touched me because I feel like I don't have to blame myself anymore. It was the most traumatic event that me (a 12 year old) had every went through. You are such a huge inspiration to me. I am now 14 years old and I confidently own a red rat snake and a blue tongue skink. I may seem old but going through that experience i feel I have matured and grown. This was so hard to write because I was crying the whole time. Its still so hard for me to think about the death of my only friend and companion who helped me through so much depression and anxiety. He was the best thing that every happened to me. Once and a while he would shed a quill or two and I sat on one that week after he died and wear it as a necklace now. Thank you so much for all of your help and inspiration!

Totally agree abt looks but u gotta understand taking in an animals w special needs is way more of a responsibility (financially & I’m terms of effort/time to care for them) than healthy animals so it’s not fair to berate ppl for understanding their limitations, better than having all the best intentions in the world but taking in an animal u don’t have the resources to care for & it ends up suffering & dying or in the best case having to be rehomed

I"m so sorry that this happened to you, Taylor. One of the most traumatizing experiences I've ever had was ALMOST having to euthanize my ferret. I had just had a c section and was recovering at home with my newborn, when my ferret Rumi became seriously ill. I took him to the vet and was told the surgeries were going to be over 3,000 which I couldn't afford at the time. When I saw him with the catheter in and was told to say goodbye to him, I snapped and told them to just give him the surgery, I couldnt bare to say goodbye to my barely one year old little boy :( At the end of the day, we came up w a quarter of the money owed and the vet told me that he would cover the rest. He just wanted to save my ferrets life, which is unheard of with vets. I'm grateful that I didn't have to know that I was the one to make the decision of his mortality just because I couldn't afford it. Rumi is happy and thriving today, I'm glad I had the opportunity to save his life

[@fennecfox2]

I adopted 2 dwarf hamsters that were bred wrong and were super super tiny. They were super tiny their whole lives (maybe a 3rd of the size of a regular dwarf). The breeder said they wouldn't live long (which I thought it was weird she knew this), so I took them for free but she tried to sell me more "healthy ones" but I just took the sick ones. The first one only lived a year, but seemed to live a happy life. Always playing and happy. The other one lived 1 1/2 years and got cancer. They were only meant to live a month more but lived much longer with love/care. This breeder no longer breeds since so many people called her out. It's so sad, because in my day everyone said "buy from a breeder! Not from a pet shop!" which has now changed to "adopt from a rescue" which I agree with. Don't trust breeders. Many of them don't know what they are doing and don't care. They just want money.

I have a sad story too. When our cats had kittens (we could barely afford to keep them, so we couldnt spay Sophie and Belle) we would keep the runts. Sophie's first litter was about the same time as Belle's and Shadow would often play with his cousins and we didn't think much of it. Tigger and Two-face are the ones we kept. Two-face was the runt and my dad just couldn't see tigger go. Two grew up into a beautiful cat, bright silky fur, she was just so pretty. But, she was sick. We couldn't afford to take her to the vet, so we gave her the best even tho I know she was hurting. She was still a baby, less then 4 years old when she died. We were all so sad. We buried her next to her grandma and grandpa (unrelated). All of the cats would sit near them and cry. Two-face, Cassidy, and Spastic were beloved and I miss them so much. Rest in peace, Two-face. Rest in peace Cassidy and rest in peace Spastic.

Anyone who doesn’t shed tears over a lost pet shouldn’t have pets at all, I took a hedgehog in from someone who ‘got bored’ with him and even though I’ve only had him for a few months I would be in pieces without him, just hearing that these things are even possible makes me start to panic. Hedgehogs have such personality and can really show love if you earn it.

[@gperry2795]

i agree. i had a hamster named zeus and when he started to suddenly get really sick i drove him to the emergency vet in the middle of a snow storm at 11pm (actually it was a dog and cat clinic but they had a vet there who had experience with hamsters and said i could bring him in) to get him care. after finding out what was wrong with him i was instructed to take him to a vet that could give hamster medication so i did. i paid over $500 in vet bills and medication and syringe fed him and made him as comfortable as possible up until the end. everyone asked me why i would go all out like that for a hamster cause "its not like its a dog or a cat". i can't understand the logic in that cause he was still living creature and the friendliest hamster ever (never bit anyone). no one should ever get a pet they aren't willing to go all out for!

My first hedgehog who was named Bonita sadly passed at 5 it was a horrible death, when she was younger she was very healthy and active, she was the kindest hedgehog I've ever known, but when she hit her 5th birthday things went downhill. I decided to give her a bath and in doing so found a lump on her throat which turned out to be a tumor, she was quite strong and we tried treatments but nothing worked I knew she would pass soon but she stayed alive for weeks on end which was super surprising since the tumor spread to her legs and stomach, making it so she couldn't walk. on her last days her left ear starting bleeding profusely. She died unhealthy which broke my heart. It wasn't because she had no room to move because we made a very large cage for her with perfect heat and everything. I'm so sorry about your hedgehogs. I know how heart breaking it can be to lose a pet.

I've just done a video of one of them that comes for food, I was delighted that they don't mind me being close to film them. They certainly love to eat.

[@sarahmartin2146]

Your hedgehogs may have passed early because of some ignorant guy but know they had the best life when they were here and they appreciate everything you did for them:)

[@savannahhavecheesecake7650]

I remembered my dead 2 cats one died of an unknown sickness and the other went missing to weeks later I found out someone on my street eats cats...he ate my freaking cat we sewed him.

[@animallover979]

The Future, the past, the present someone shot, and killed my friends cat with a bebe gun ;(

[@mollymine8520]

The Future, the past, the present I'm sooooo sorry my cat got attacked by a dog and the owner did nothing to stop she died at the vet D:

[@kumipeters6269]

Omg that's so sad😔

[@LifeInPink999]

The Future, the past, the present omg that's horrible! What a sick person!!! Did the law made him pay?!?! One of my cats died from leukemia she was my favorite, very smart cat. Then just some month after another got lost and I still feel depressed about it. I like to think that maybe someone adopted her... All my cats are rescued from the streets, or were born at home maybe someone rescued mine.

[@val6841]

The Future, the past, the present omg I would attack someone if they ate my pets. I'm so sorry you had that happen to you

[@erinerinerinOOO]

Your love for your animals is so evident!

[@carsonlee1723]

I feel your pain, literally. Riley (girl hedgehog) died today mid-day from what i think was ear infection or WHS or both, because she showed all signs of having an ear infection because she was shaking, wobbling, scratching and she was paralysed, (WHS signs) and since she was my first hedgehog, i was doing some research about hibernating, and some side effects that would cause death during hibernation, then this came up; "THERE ARE ACTUALLY A FEW WAYS YOU CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HIBERNATING HEDGEHOG AND A DEAD ONE. WHEN A HEDGEHOG HIBERNATES, IT BALLS UP INTO A TIGHT BALL, SO IF IT'S LAID OUT FLAT THEN IT'S MOST LIKELY DEAD." After i read it, i glanced over at Riley, and I realized she wasn't curled up, moving or breathing, i did some research of ways and signs for illnesses, near death and possibilities of death, at first i thought it was a heart disease, (sudden death) but when i did more research, i found that she had the possibility of having WHS or ear infection, it was very unaccepted, because the day before and before that day, she was very energetic, curious, calm, adventurous, well fed and happy, then poof! dead :/

The situation you described with Piper is the literally the same exact situation that happened with my dog Maya two months ago today, so I'm in tears right now ☹️

[@kristenbasore2406]

you've went through a lot you've saved animals and ps. remember stay strong and don't worry

[@rubymimosa]

I just found you. It seems like you are a responsible pet owner and rescuer. Your hedgie is obviously happy and confident (he’s open and interacting). Although I’m sure some of the negative comments you receive are from people who’s heart is hurting for you, the way they are being worded is inappropriate. I’m sorry.

[@tiffanykozak6615]

I wish I had a one ps sorry for your loss

Anastazja Lopes its only true and you're just mad you dissent say thhaat

[@likeastarbaby]

hey taylor (long comment coming) so i'll be honest, i found your videos in the first place about a year ago because i wanted two pets: an axolotl and a hedgehog, and i was so excited to see that you owned both of them and had great videos about their care. i finally got a copper axolotl in december and i'm so so happy with him, but i'd still been really pining for a hedgehog (especially after seeing your cuties in all your videos!). even after all the horrible stuff happened with solara i assumed it was a fluke and still intended on getting one, but this video has really made me see sense. i wasn't aware of it but from what you've described it sounds that these african pygmy hedgehogs are a product of clumsy interbreeding to make a domesticated animal that is just unstable and poorly understood. 3/4 of your hedgehogs getting sick like that cannot be a coincidence. its like dogs - everyone assumes its fine to own crazy inbred breeds like french bulldogs and pugs, but ignore the abundance of health issues that have come from lazy breeding to make a quick buck. btw i'm of course not blaming you at all, i would have probably made the same mistake before i watched this video. even though i've had my heart set on one for so long i just cannot handle how utterly heartbroken you are and the money you've spent to try and make them better, so i'm going to put down this idea entirely. its not fair on you or on the animal themselves, if people are just going to breed without thinking about the consequences. as a final note i'm really sorry this happened it sounds so awful, i know i would not have kept myself together as well as you did in this video. i hope you feel better soon and the pain goes away, and at least you have your other pets (and your lovely new puppy) for comfort. mad love x

[@wy_bee3724]

likeastarbaby That's scary. after watching her videos I desperately wanted a hedgehog and an axolotl. In December I got a hedgehog, even though after watching her videos I knew of the health risks. I was devastated when I watched this video. I feel so bad for Taylor. some of the worst things happen to the nicest people.

[@warriorcatskid003]

I lost a two year old cat to cancer in May, we had a similar experience with a vet misdiagnosing it. It wasn’t necessarily the vet’s fault in her case though. The month she was acting sick was probably the worst month of my life and accepting that she had to be put down was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. I feel your pain. I know this is an old video but I know it probably still hurts. This video made me cry because of how similar it was to Bam-Bam’s death. My heart goes out to you.

[@alexandrahernandez9760]

Im sorry this happened to you, we all know its not your fault! Your an amazing pet owner!! 💖💖 we all love you and are here for you Taylor! Im so sorry

[@ayaking5608]

My hamster is sick (I think) but my mom doesn't have enough money to pay for the vet. My hamster meant the world to me, and I can see him suffering. He Comforted me when I was sad.I hold him in my arms everyday and it breaks my heart to see him. My mom won't let me do anything (take home to the vet) and I hurts me so much, I can tell his time is short. When he's gone how can I move on?

[@ayaking5608]

He died in my arms today.

[@LycaWatyre]

Lots of hugs.

[@RawrImaLilDanosaur]

Hammy Ham at least you know that he died happy and loved. honestly, once an animal becomes terminal the only thing you can do is keep it warm and happy in it's final hours. sorry for your loss, though, i know how hard it is to lose a pet. it's almost like losing a child.

[@straw83rry1203]

Hammy Ham hey, if you are over 16 and have good credit, get a credit card. My snake had gotten mouth rod and i just lost my job. So, i went and got a credit card. Once i work again, i pay it off and cancel it. Now i put $50 a week away in a saving account just in case any of my animals ever get sick and i don't have the money. I am also sorry and pray he make it.

[@straw83rry1203]

Hammy Ham oh, so sorry to hear this. 😭😭😭

To live in the hearts of others is never to die RIP, Piper

[@otisandelle8438]

i had a mouse and i got it from a breeder that was a former breeder of rats. we didn't know it at first but we ended up getting a small black mouse that we were told was a male but a few weeks later, "he" stopped breathing normally, eating regularly and we thought, "he's sick!"so we spent extra time examining him and the next thing we know is that a 6-7 week old mouse is having babies. we were told wrong. he was a girl that had been put with males and was sick. her babies all died a few days-weeks after birth, and the mother grew a huge ball of skin on her neck. we were devastated. a family that was bred wrong had died all because of the breeders mind. we researched mice breeders and mice weeks before we got her.. i hate myself for thinking i can handle any mouse from a breeder: good or bad.

[@alisonbyrne9353]

My first 2 hedgies were rescued (1st from humane society, 2nd returned to pet store) and adults when I rescued them. My current hedgehog was rescued from a breeder who never socialized her, and was just used for breeding and never was a pet. My first, Nicholas, died from WHS. My 2nd, Whiteout (an albino) suddenly went blind and went downhill quickly (brought to emergency hospital ASAP). They thought it was a GI infection, but I had my doubts. He died with us a week later in our arms. I’m lucky to have had each one in my life for at least 2 years, so they were over 3 years when they passed. It’s been hard every time, but to me, at least we give them love for the time we have them. Mind you, my rescues didn’t even have a wheel (!) and one was actually in a cage with a rabbit.
