My friend just got a hedgehog!!! SOOO CUTE My friend just bought a hedgehog. It is adorable. I even saw it curl up in to a little spiky ball. They live 10-15 years and eat cat or dog food. Who'd thought? I want one now. But she bought hers on her vacation in nebraska so I dont knwo where I would find one. I was looking at getting a sugar glider(flying squirrel) awhile ago but I am not sure how my dogs would take it. My friend has a yorkie,rat terrier, and boston terrier so I will see how this new hedgehog thing works out. Anyone else have an unusual pet? |

I wouldn't call him a "pet" necessarily but that huge groundhog is a "regular guest" in our back yard. Actually, I'm pretty sure he's taken up residence in our back yard brushpile. When I was a kid, I lived in the city but had a chicken as a pet. Andy, our chicken, slept outside in a little pen. He was a like a little dog! He'd chase us around the yard and play and play!!! We loved our chicken Andy......Until some horrible creature ate him and I found him dead one morning. I went to the city school that day (5th grade) crying my eyes out. The teacher asked what happened and I told her in front of the class that my pet had died. She said she was sorry and asked what kind of pet was it? When I said "a chicken" the whole class laughed at me! And then I cried even harder b/c noone understood how much I loved that chicken. I'm scarred for life. |
I had a ferret once. But it bit me in the hands when I lifted it and my heels when I walked, so I gave it up to nature. I guess wild animals belong in the wild and not as pets to humor humans... |
I had a duck when I was a baby. I want another one. If it were not for my husband always tellign me no, I would have a whole zoo :D . I already have 3 aquariums and 3 dogs. I tried the bird thing. I had a budgirigar but penny(my boxer) gave it a heartattack :( by acidently scaring it. I felt so bad. But I really want a turtle and now a hedgehog. Actually I just remembered me andmy husbands first pet together was an iguana named iggy. That sucker was mean and would whip us with is tail. We had to give him away. We were both way to scared of him to clean out his cage weekly :eek: He would always try to snap at us. We also used to have lionfish which are very poisonous! Those were our favorite saltwater fish to have. |
We have 6 hamsters. :) I didn't know you can have a hedgehog as a pet. |
I never knew anyone could have a hedgehog as a pet either !! I had a cool turtle for 20 Plus years that I hand fed - HE never bit me once ...but let anyone ELSE put their hand in there and they'd be in the Emergency Room...I loved that turtle...But a Hedgehog ? Do they Bite ? I'd love to see a picture of him ... Please tell me they don't dress up their pets :D :eek: :eek: :eek: |

i didnt even know you could own hedgehogs as house pets! funny.. is it kinda like a guinea pig? |
My sons have a tortoise. They also have waterdragons, fire belly toads, tree frogs and anoles. I dont touch any of them though. they are the kids pets and only the kids pets. |

How interesting! Are they spiky? Can you hold it? I never heard of a hedgehog as a pet. |
Andrew hold her as he want . She never bite him . She is a little spiky when she roll herself like a ball . |
I used to have 2 chinchillas. One was a standard grey male and the other was a white female. I had to give them to a friend of mine, though cuz I was moving and I wouldn't have any room for them. Found out later that my girl was pregnant. She had two baby girls. |

My friend that got the hedgehog also helps me withmy business from time to time so of course we thought about trying to make the hedgehog some clothes but decided it was impossible with all those spikes!. It doesnt bite but if it gets scared it sticks its quills out and those can kinda hurt. But they arent too sharp. And unlike porcuipines(sp?) hedgehogs do not lose thier quills. I'll try to take pics of it next times she brings it over. |

Yeah it looks just like this. It small enough to fit in your hand. My friend will hold hers barehanded but her wienny husband wears a glove. I just petted it and it was really sweet. You actually have to bath these little guys too. I thought that was funny. I have seen some for sell at a feedstore once. She bought hers at an exotic petstore. I found some breeders online when I was doing some research for her. Its so funny because hedgehog breeders are just as serious as dog breeders. They use the same terminology such as "sire" and dam" and have different colorations, personalities and standards. I thought this was so interesting. |
