Hedgehog Care: How to Cut a Hedgehogs Nails (Bath Method) || feat. Draco

[@samanthaportice7861]

I just took my friends hedgehog for her and your channel had helped so much! He’s getting more comfortable with me but he’s about to hate me because from the looks of it he’s never had his nails trimmed. I just wanna give little Charlie a good life! Thank you for your videos! I’d be so lost without them

[@lackeymal]

I lost it when she said "Do you mind sir?"😂😂

i love the way that you put the balled up thing into water it immediately unballed. this is a good way to unball a hedgehog

[@haleyc3796]

I have found my people. I am the only one I know with a hedgehog so nobody has advice on nail clipping. this helped so much. Thank you!!

[@hammycats6919]

Love this channel. I am gonna get an hedgie for sure but not until I have fully researched their needs etc. Thank you for helping us potential hedgie owners. Keep up the great work. 👍

[@bobjoe7437]

My hedgehog needs her nails clipped but hasn’t fully bonded with me yet and won’t let me touch her feet and belly. I know that it took a while for you to bond with blaze, how did you cut his nails when he was still huffy?

[@americaloescher]

Go watch her bonding with your hedgehog video

[@clarathompson9643]

Bob Joe I'm kind of in the same situation right now. That was about a year ago that you commented that, did you find a solution? Or did you just have to wait until you had bonded with your hedgehog better?

you should write a book on hedgehog care lol your so great at taking care of yours

[@kayoh7514]

I love that you talk to him while you were trimming his nails. Haha I yammer to mine but sometimes think I must seem crazy to others who hear me. I have a lot of difficulty trimming my lad's nails. He doesn't like his feet held, so its easier to mis-trim because he moves a lot and I just don't have enough hands to hold him still long enough to clip-clip fast. SO, I'm grateful for your various ideas of how to trim! TY! (Draco looks like my first hedgehog.

[@dasokumarie8633]

i know this is old, and im not her, but you should bathe when dirty. If its just the feet i suggest a footbath. about a week to a month should be fine.

[@Redhunteur2]

You can find small animal nail scissors at most pet shops. I bought mine at Petco for about five bucks.

[@chauffeurmarco]

In the 90’ I brought back the hedgehog to the pet store. Didn’t know much about it, didn’t have internet or KZbin then to understand it. It was always scared every time I tried to take it so I got fed up after a couple of week and returned it. I just wished that we could have KZbin in the 90’

[@syakiraharabee]

Hi! For starters, I love your videos. It has been really helpful as a beginner hedgie owner. My boyfriend and I just got a pair, Hoko and Joey and we've been extremely clueless on how to take care of them and we came across your videos on KZbin and they really shed some light on a lot of things we weren't familiar with. Hope you can continue making more hedgie related videos! I've got one question though, where do you buy all your hedgie supplies? I've been looking for a good scissors to use to cut their nails but the ones we found aren't that good. Any tips?

[@ToriLynnPPH]

The scissors I had in this video were cuticle scissors! I haven’t been able to find a pair like them in a long time, I use regular cuticle clippers or small nail clippers from the drugstore now! :)

SO FUNNY that I literally JUST got done clipping nails, then I open YoutTube and this video pops up on my suggestions list (even though it's a 7yo video). For the first time, we managed to get all of them in one go - it only took 45 min (she's 2 and half yo). #Cynda 👍👍👍❤

[@MatiasSanz]

Holy cow, that intro music jumpscared me a lot haha

[@picklebrynn2370]

My hedgehog is very stubborn. Her nails are very long and I've tried to cut them but she won't let me. She huffs and puffs every time I try to cut her nails and she likes to dunk her head under the water. She gets very stressed out if I try to cut them and she curls up into a ball. Does anyone have a good method for getting them to calm down? I don't want her nails to curl and pierce her feet!

[@hecticharmony7779]

Pickle Brynn make sure she acclimates to the water. to stop her from dunking her head put your finger under her chin.

[@TrendyReality101]

Pickle Brynn put her in water up to her chin so she doesn't curl in a ball.

[@Daisy-kj4mn]

Why the hell did I think she was about to say “then you bake the hedgehog for a few minutes, they should pass out then you can easily clip their nails!”

[@hedgehogsx2396]

Ok, how the fluff is Draco so calm in the bath?! My boy hatttttesssss bath time, which makes me hate it too. I just put my hedgehog on the bed and wrestle with him until he surrenders •^•

[@TrendyReality101]

I've NEVER clipped the pink bit of the nail. It's avoidable if you are a patient person.

For some people, yes. For others it is unrealistic to suggest that it'll never happen because it does.

Hi tori, so I have been watching your videos for about a month now collecting information.You have been so much help with care, tips, bonding, and done an amazing job with helping me through this journey.But I do have like two quick questions, first if my parents do agree to me getting a hedgehog then I actually have a nail clipper that we use for my dogs and it's kinda like a curved nail trimmer thats a little big but not to big to where you can't hold it.So what i'm saying is can I use that if I get a hedgehog and trim it's nails, or would you say scissors are a better option?The second question how often should you bath/trim their nails?

I have had trouble finding a hedgehog food that's ok for hedgehogs. Some people say only use cat food, other people say use the food specialized for hedgehogs, People also say to not food them any kibble at all! I am really confused as to what I should and should not feed my hedgehog. Please help!

[@eyeles8887]

Turtle. 101 you should use a mixture of cat food, veggies/fruit, and some protein. Dried mealworms and dead crickets are a good option for protein, but make sure to not give them too much. Introduce the new foods one by one, so if there's an odd reaction you know which one is causing the problem. before you give them any new foods, you should google which ones are the best for them and which ones will hurt them.

[@mollie.28.15]

Turtle. 101 hedgehog food isn’t good for them, u should use cat food and as a treat insects

[@haileys1200]

ThisIsYourCaptainSpeaking You should bathe a hedgehog and clip their nails about once a month. You can easily introduce a hedgehog to a new cage. You might want to start by putting your hedgehog in the cage a few times a day so he/she gets used to it slowly. You cannot potty train a hedgehog but you can litter box train your hedgehog. Hedgehogs are solitary animals so they do like to live alone. Girl hedgehogs that are related may tolerate living together but it is unlikely. I hope you found this helpful!!

[@schmib269]

[@haileys1200]

[@haltersthings5319]

I bath mine when they are dirty (full of poop) or if they start to smell bad (my hedgies pee on their wheel so they are sometimes covered in pee and stink really bad. I cut their nails when it is necessary. I put them in the new cage with their used fleece blankets. They go out exploring the new cage quickly, but know that the blankies are their safe place You can litter box train hedgies although I've had no success. Generally you should keep hedgies alone, but my two are sisters and get along fine.
