My mom said I will most likely get a hedgehog for Christmas and so I’ve been watching a bunch of videos haha :) I’m soooo exited I’ve wanted one for so long!
1. Even if two hedgehogs are sisters do not keep them together there is a 90 percent chance that they will not get along. 2.the cacti are not a good idea because your hedgehog could easily get them in their eyes mouth etc. Which can easily leave to injuries. 3. WHERE IS YOUR HEAT SETUP??? I'm do not want to sound rude and your hedgie seems perfectly healthy, but to avoid hibernation or over heating (both of which are fatal ) hedgehogs must be kept at around 24-26 degrees celcius (I Don't know what that is in farenheit) not having a heat setup is very risky and I cannot stress enough the dangers of not having one. A ceramic heat lamp with a thermostat and thermometer to keep the temperature correct Is what I use for my boys. Don't get me wrong your hedgie seems perfectly happy and healthy, and you seem like a wonderful person, but I couldn't help but recognise that you missed some crucial things. :) please do not take this in a rude way
ThisIsYourCaptainSpeaking 1. well, from my experience, my breeders and my friends who have multiple hedgehogs have rarely had problems with two females from the same liter. If you do want to try them housing together you must have a backup option if necessary. Plus two wheels, two huts, and two food set ups. 2. They’re fake. 3. She has a heating pad underneath the fleece. I live in Texas and in the summer it’s not necessarily an issue. In the winter the heating pad is on at all times Hope this helped your concerns!
BellaIsSalty I’ve never had a problem with mine, Ive kept it on the lowest setting. I’m sure it could cause burns if you put it on higher settings though, so I’d use with caution
I love this! Great husbandry! You obviously care a lot about your pet and that's just beautiful! The only thing is to be careful with the heating pad. I know most people avoid them because they can be dangerous.
I’m most likely getting a hedgehog at the end of this summer! I can’t wait, and have been doing a tun of research on them! Thank you for all your help!!!
@@qwellyboy well you should bring them out to play every day/few days and I’m only saying that because no matter how bi the wheel it can still be fatal
hi! you are the best youtuber ever, i am getting a hedgehog for Christmas and i am doing SOOOOOO MUCH research you are truly the best yet, thank you so much, keep doing what you do! thank you!
Were did you purchase your headgehog from. I have experience with animals i own two red ear sliders and a cat. I use to own a iguana .i am gonna get another one. My first one died.
Yes! You do if u do not have a warm house they need to be between 74 to 78 degrees I find that they like it in the middle it’s good to not have the hole area heated and try to heat were they sleep but avoid the rest of the cage
I’m planning on getting a hedgehog this year after wanting one for over 5 years at this point! I remember watching this video a few years back :) I’m so happy to finally be getting my dream petttt
How do you potty train them i wake up everyday to poop everywhere in this cage and i spend around 40 minutes af my lunch time since I'm still in school
I have a hedgie and the problem with mine is that she is so messy!! I have to clean her fleece blanket every single day! She poops everywhere then climbs in her bed and sleeps in her poop. 😩😩 I wish she wasn’t so messy. I changed her flooring to newspaper/pee pads and I’m currently using old T-shirt’s for her blankets but I hate it because it’s not warm enough for her!! Any advice on how to keep her somewhat cleaner so she’s not sleeping in her poop? I don’t want to wash her everyday because it’s not good for hedgies! :(
Getting a hedgehog and a Bengal (because my dad is allergic and bro has asthma and Bengals are hyper-allergenic) cat when I move. I have watched a bunch of hedgehog care videos and I have had a cat back then that we had to give away (because it was not hyper-allergenic and my dad was coming home from overseas and my bros asthma was getting seriously triggered) so I was BORN ready for these 2 pets.
Guys!!!! Never use a cage with holes in it i prefer a plastic box because i have a hedgehog and it has a cage with holes and one day i woke up and found blood in his cage because he got his little foot stuck in the holes and his fingers ripped offf😭💔
UPDATE: WATER BOTTLE is NOT 100% suitable for a hedgehog due to the structure of it's mouth! Some kind of dish is better :) Also, atleast according to finnish experts, catfood is a no-no on daily basis, diet should be 60-80% insects etc and other foods in small amounts every now and then C:
@@nerdyhamster3452 i know but wheels aren’t the best choice no matter how big! I was just letting them know incase they thought of a small wheel that wasn’t big enough! And also because I had a hedgehogs and it had a big wheel and it still got the back problem and died, sorry if I sounded like I was trying to be an expert 😅
MadDog 21, of you don’t get what I mean, like there’s a heating lamp, there’s also a cooling lamp, I don’t know if your PetSmart has them, but mine does, and it cools the room temperature, if it’s too hot, and it only goes to what the temperature is supposed to be.
MadDog 21, actually, no, there are different breeds of hedgehogs, and some live in the cold, hot, and warm, the room temperature is supposed to be 72-80 degrees Fahrenheit. 21-27 degrees Celsius.
so are they like dogs were you have to feed them and they will eat it all at once so you have to feed them several times a day or do you just leave them food for the entire day and they'll eat it?
I think I read somewhere that dead bugs aren’t particularly great for them. Something to do with the live bugs exoskeleton being good for them or something er another
I have a few questions if anyone could answer them for me :) 1. How often should I clip its nails? 2. Would it be safe for me and the hedgehog for it to live in my room? I’m a very heavy sleeper but I’m worried about the smell could I get sick from the hedgehogs smell assuming I take good care of the cage? 3. Will there even be a smell if I keep the cage clean? 4. Roughly how often do you clean your cage? 5. What food brand do you recommend? 6. It’s become very clear to me that it’s deadly if hedgehogs cages are too cold because they will try to hibernate, so that brings me to wonder do hedgehogs need to hibernate in the winter or should they never ever hibernate? Thank you if you read this, I hope you and your family are safe!

How is the fleece not stained up with pee n poop? Is their pee/poo easy to clean? Also, could you let me know about the cage smell? Would having one in your room make your entire room smell like there's an animal in there, or if you keep the cage clean is it hard to tell?
2728lokita hedgehogs and ferrets need different diets do yes! I would recommend a cat food, you can look up best cat foods for hedgehogs and there’s a number of different foods in different price ranges you can do!
I know this is an older video. I am a new hedgie parent and I was wondering where did you get your cage? It looks so nice and I am aiming for one of them if not similar to it
Do they smell funky? How often do you need to clean the enclosure? Where did you get that cage? How often do you need to clean up larrie? Oh god my moms gonna be so mad i already have snakes, geckos, and a huge roach farm WAIT Can hedgehogs eat dubia roaches as like a treat ? 🤔 Could i make a custom 2 floor cage and it only being like 20" × 20" if so i could build a hedge hog encloure right under my baby ball python set up :)

Yes! You do if u do not have a warm house they need to be between 74 to 78 degrees I find that they like it in the middle it’s good to not have the hole area heated and try to heat were they sleep but avoid the rest of the cage
They hibernate if it gets too cold. Heck wild hedgehogs live outside in my country in -15c weather. Got to be over 600g weight though to survive.
u just cleaned you cage? cuz normally hedgehog cage won't be that cleann😭
Yes I did! She usually ruins it within the night lol
Getting one in October, can't wait!
please take care of them! i wish you the best of luck
From whereee pls help!

How do you potty train them i wake up everyday to poop everywhere in this cage and i spend around 40 minutes af my lunch time since I'm still in school
Of*
put the poop from the night before in the littertray/ puppy pad until they understand that there is where they need to poop.
I have dogs. If I put mine in a bin with a blanket with heating pads underneath, would they be ok? I want to love them!
How do you clean the cage? How do you use the pee pads?
I love your set up it is so homey.Also this is a good video for me because I might get a hedgehog.
Your hegehogs cage set up reminds me of tori lynns hegehog set up
So true
Some people say don't use a heating pad I'm a first-time hedgehog owner so I'm doing a lot of research what kind of heating pad can you show me
@Cate H thanks now some people said put it under the cage some people say put it in the cage
eaglechas it depends on the strength of the pad and what cage you have you don’t want to burn your hedgehog but you want some heat to get through

What is the salt rock for? a treat? Is it safe? They wont get too much sodium intake?
Where can i get that kitty hut? And does your hedgehog try to eat the plants?
The bottle with the ball means their tongue can get caught
As long as it’s not spring loaded it’s fine
where do u get the hedgehogs?
Where do they go to the bathroom? Do they just go anywhere or can you train them to go in a specific place?
They tend to do it after running on their wheel, so many owners put a tray with paper pellets under the wheel for the hedgehogs to use
Whats that cage called??
