Hi! I've had my hedgehog from my friend for a few months now. but i'm still new to the hedgehog community.

This is my pet, Max. She's a girl.


How do you guys toilet train your hedgie?

The video Salt&Pepper posted is damn cute!

My hedgie always curls up if I try to hold it up

and she also puff a lot. like self-defense thing, when i try to hold her

I tried the old-tshirt thing, put it on the cage for few weeks when I first got her... still huff and curl...

she's hiding someone in my room now. hehe.

How often do you all give your hedgie meal worms? I bought some mealworms from a petshop near my house. Small ones. the big ones are scary.


I'm not sure how old is she. My friend got it from the previous owner, and says it was 1 years old, and I'm not sure how long my friend has it, probably 6 months. I've had it for few months now, 2 or 3... i forgot. maybe 4 or 5? Oh wait, I think it's 6? :S

i only let her on my bed after bath.
her legs are usually dirty because i didn't toilet train her, she get poop on her tiny legs.

ah, petaiman, yours is small and still young!

haha, the first few days when i get my hedgehog, it shit green colour shit on my hands!



also, the first night i got it, it escaped from the cage thru some gap! and shocked my dad the next morning. (my friend came to my house at midnight and gave it to me, so my family doesn't know about the pet on the first day.) the gap is fixed now. there is no escape! (evil laugh)

I wish my hedgie is friendlier.

Some tips i've tried are put a tshirt above it's cage for the smell, put it on my lap and let it sleep while i do stuffs on my computer, feed it some mealworms sometimes... but she's still curl up and huffpuff when i pick her up.

My one is albino. I think it's like too plain. And very easy to see it's clean or dirty.

Maybe my next hedgie wont be an albino.

hehe, seems like i'm not the only one who's hedgie like to go hide under newspaper.

How do you people poopie train your hedgehog? Do you give it a tray or something to poop on?

LOL, i don't know why, but i find this funny.

i thought mealworms eat bread?
