In this video I share with you all the things I can think of that can help your african pygmy hedgehog become more comfortable with you and it's environment. I don't usually like to bombard my viewers with so much information but this is one of those cases where I think that the more information you have the better off you will be. I think there's a lot more to taming a hedgehog than just interacting with them daily. Making sure that they are happy with their environment is also extremely important to have a happy hedgehog. An unhappy hedgehog will not hesitate to show you it's displeasure so you want to make sure that you do everything that you possibly can to create a nice environment in your home for them.
Most african pygmy hedgehogs are naturally very skittish and will be extremely defensive so if you think your hedgehog is mean you are not alone! A lot of new hedgehog owners think that their hedgehog hates them but that is not the case. That's just how they naturally are and you need to work with them to get them used to you.
I hope that these tips help you with your hedgehog as I know from experience that it can be extremely frustrating to have a hedgehog that doesn't trust you. Don't give up on them though! It may take a lot of time to get them comfortable with human interaction but with enough time and persistence it should pay off in the end and you'll be able to enjoy the benefits of having a pet hedgehog.
Sorry that it took so long to make this highly requested video. Thank you so much for watching!
In case people didn't know, the African pygmy hedgehog is a domesticated species of hedgehog. They are not like the wild hedgehogs that roam around in the UK and other regions of the world. You can go to HedgehogCentral.com to find out more about their care and living requirements: www.hedgehogcentral.com/.

I used to own a hedgehog (that unfortunately died months ago from old age :c) but she was a breeder her whole life. She was grumpy, just wanted to eat and then sleep. I found so much things in this video that were a big part of why her and I bonded so much eventually. I gave her a long time to get used to her home, but after holding her everyday, putting my shirt in her little hut to cuddle with, and the rest of the tips in this video, she would wake up everytime she heard me come home from school and climb up on her cage until I would hold her. It was so cute. I miss her, but I'm hoping to get a new baby one soon. So thank you for this video!

My hedgehog is like the complete opposite of all the hedgehogs I've heard of. He is 2 months old and he was never shy, not even when we picked him up for the first time at the breeders. He loves to be pet, and often looks for it, I've only ever heard him hiss once (my cat got too close), he doesn't get grumpy when I take him out during the day, and he often happily sits in my sweater pocket and goes everywhere with me during the day, either sleeping in my pocket, or poking his head out to meet new people.

He doesn't love us but we love him lol

1. Do not leave your hedgehog for a few days when they get home, make sure you are handling them for at least 30 minutes a day especially when you first get them. This is because they need to become familiar to you and your scent because if your hedgehog does not and you suddenly start introducing them to something new as soon as they have gotten used to their new home, bonding with your hedgie will be much more difficult... trust me, I know from experience as a proud owner of 3 boys. 2. If you are petting the underside of your hedgehog please don't keep them underside up for to long, this position is where they are most vulnerable and it will make them nervous and skittish (I know this is random but It was not said in the video and I think it is quite important) That's it lol, this video was great don't get me wrong but I had to point out these things :) also wow I can't believe you read this entire thing 😂

My hedgehog is the sweetest baby. I got her as a rescue for Christmas as a gift to my dad And ever since day one she's been so sweet. She's also spoilt with lots of treats she was never given before (she doesn't know what any food is aside from cat food so it's interesting to explore new foods with her.) She also sleeps in my bed. She likes to have a pillow when sleeping for some reason and lies flat on her stomach and I find she sleeps for much longer and more easily in my bed than her cage. (She has cage issues that I'm working on. Part of her being a rescue. Previous owners kept her in a cage too small for her to turn around even.)

Lmao the part where you said to hold your hedgehog everyday, that part is so true. When I was still new to hedgie owning, I would go sleep at a friend’s place for the night and my hog would be alone for the night in his cage. But the next morning when I come back, I get the cold shoulder from my boy. He’ll huff at me, bite me and spike up a lot more than he would’ve if I slept in the room. Strange how just being gone for the night can make him mean 😂

I am so glad I found this video ^^ I just got my first hedgehog for my 21st birthday, I named her Lulu (after my favorite League of Legends Champion) and I am just in awe with her. I noticed that my hedgie does a lot of the same things yours does. (Hides when I bring her out with the light on in my room) Sometimes I'll hear her scuddling around and it will wake me up but I don't mind at all. I'll just look at her with the night vision on my camera. :D I also have her in my room where it is quiet and well.. It smells like me in this room but I was wondering whether or not to put a shirt of mine in her hedgie sleeping bag. Will definitely do it now though! She loves her meal worms and I usually give them to her when she's on my bed. I am not new to raising exotic animals so I'm glad that I'm on the right path and this video has definitely helped me as well!

My hedgie is weird. She doesn't like to eat anything but her kitten food (although recently she took meal worms into consideration surprisingly). She actually seems happier if i wake her up during the day because once she wakes up she seems pretty active and not tired. When i get her up at night or take her out when she's already awake, she seems more grumpy. By grumpy i mean she will hiss when i move her or touch her or sometimes just hiss at nothing (she doesn't spike up though). So from my experience I prefer to wake her up in the after noon to play with her and take her on a walk :)

I'm currently about three and a half months into the bonding process with my baby hedgehog, he's a grumpy boy but really good with humans already and is fearless with my dogs who are twice his size (they're only small dogs but he's only a small hoglet). The one thing he really loves to do is get under my quilt while I lie and play my switch in bed. He runs around under it and climbs me like an obstacle course. I find when we've done that he doesn't use his wheel in the night at all, it must tucker the little boy out. He eventually cuddles up in my elbow or my knee crease and falls asleep for an hour or two before I take him to his home again. I'm really glad that I've naturally learned these tips you've mentioned. I just watch for his behaviour and he has taught me so much about how I may be the caregiver but he knows best. I couldn't ask for a better pet. Honestly if anybody is thinking of getting a pet with some character but can't have anything as big as a cat or dog, I wholly recommend Hedgehogs. For kids they have a direct understanding that these small animals can hurt. They can see those spines and know they don't want that pain, whereas with fluffier animals they don't always see the teeth that are going to hurt. It's a wonderful learning experience and I didn't think I could love an animal quite as quickly as I adore my grumpy boy.

Hi! Yesterday I got my first ever hedgehog named Doug. He is in a cinnamon color and he's is 1 year old. All his life he has been a breeder. The guy that had him before just wanted him to breed with an albino to make a rare kind of hedgehog worth more money so he could sell those. Then he sold Doug to our pet store and we have always wanted one, so we got it. He is in a 42-18 inch bunny cage with a hut, water bottle, 12 inch wheel, food dish and toilet paper roll. He is very very skidish and jumpy. You can't do anything near him with out him rolling into a ball and hissing. Its always quite frightening to go and pick him up when he wants nothing to do with you. Do you (or anyone else reading this) have any tips? I'm going to put one of my tee shirts in there for him and were going to start handling him in a day. So yeah please help!

It is a very good idea to try hand feeding them so they will associate your scent with food. My girlfriend has a hedgehog and she got him to accept her quickly when she started smelling like food.

Thank you SO MUCH for this video!! I have a beautifull hedgehog named Margarita and sometimes I feel she hates me because she always crawls into a ball when I try to pick her up and she poops in my hand so I feel like I'm making her super uncomfortable and I get scared that she will never love me haha. I've had her for 2 weeks and we are still getting used to each other, she is the first hedgehog i've ever had so I want to make sure that I'm doing everything the right way :D

Hi! I have a pillow that had fabric sewed on top of it and there is a rip in the fabric. She LOVES to sleep in the pillow (not the inside where there is the stuffing but inside the fabric area that was sewed onto it). Its very roomy there so it wont suffocate her or anything but i want to ask your opinion on if thats okay to continue letting her do that?

Optional Step 4: If it fails, assume it's a pokemon battle and use Tails the Derpy Ninetailed Fox. Also throwing more chili dogs increases the catch rate. Your welcome lol

Hi! I just picked up my baby hedgehog today. When I met the breeder she let me hold her but once we got home she hasn't let me touched her at all so I've been trying to give her space. How long do you think I should wait to try to touch her again and what kind of snacks or treats do hedgies like and dislike? Also how should I go about bathing her? Should I just let her walk around in the water for a while with some dawn soap or should I scrub her? Anyways thanks for the videos! Your hedgie is very cute!

They eat cat food,I preffer Royal Canin.Don't use soap,they don't like it.Just let him walk around.Make sure the water is hot.It isn't weird if she/he doesn't like being holded,hedgehogs like being alone.Buy him a wheel,like those for hamsters but it has to be bigger and plastic,they can't spin,on the wire ones.Let him roam around the room at night and make sure there's nothing that he can get stuck in or that could possibly hurt him.Get him a rabbit cage.Make him a cardboard house,so he can go in it and sleep.They sleep a lot.Put pellets in the cage,and some stuff which I forgot the name of.And make sure to use gloves while holding him,because they jump and shake when you try to pick them up.They also breathe extremely fast when you try picking them up,it's normal.

I am 12 years old. I went away to my dads house for a month and when I got back my hedgehog neither liked of remembered me. She bit me. Hard. Four times. Anyway my mom asked this lady on Facebook what to do and she said to take them out during the daytime and put them in a snuggle sack with you so they can sleep and bond. I had her out for most of the day, and it worked like a charm. When she woke up in the nigh, and smelled me she was so excited and CRAWLED ONTO MY HAND!

@jennifermaher6146 7 жыл бұрын
awesome Angelina well, first you will need a cage. I recommend C&C cages, or large rabbit cages. You will need to get a wheel for them, but make sure it is a solid wheel. They cannot run on wire wheels. For food, you can use cat food, I used to use Royal Canin, but I switched. If you are going to feed them cat food, I recommend Royal Canin. I'm currently feeding my hedgie Mazuris Insectivore diet. They will need sleeping pouches, blankets and huts for comfort and to sleep in. Oh and mealworms and crickets are considered a treat, so don't feed them too many. 5 - 10 is best. Make sure the room temperature is 75 - 65 F. Take them to the vet for yearly checkups. And make sure the room you have them in is quiet, and doesn't have strong smells as they have sensitive hearing and smelling. That's about all you need.

Enchanted64 You can look online to see if there's a breeder near you that is selling an african pygmy hedgehog. Ask your parents if it's okay for you to have one.
