Today i went back to my house to feed her and clean hamster cage. I Clean hamster cage beside her cage. Then i see her sleeping outside her house with her stomach lay down flat. so cute <3 First time in my life i ever see her sleep outside her house/ not curled up to a ball

kind a interested in keepin hedgie but afraid dun have time to cuddle them..furthermore, my brother said that his friend hedgie got big spike and hurt him whenever they want to touch it.

how much do we have to spent for their maintenance per month per hedgie eh?

Hmm, make sure you put somethin heavy on the lid to prevent an escape...

Added on September 7, 2011, 2:22 amTry putting some old tshirt which you have worn in Hibari's 'house', make her smell you all the time
Also, try waking her up by offering a super worm or her fav snack, BRIBERY WORKS!
My Daisy will eagerly come to the side of the cage when she hears me coming, coz she knows that i have some treats for her!!

hello folks

my name is fatin and you can call me athen i'm still newbies in this landak-mini arena.i'm keeping one as pet by next week

but i'm facing one problem here.i live in n9 and study at jb.can hedgehogs handle 3hours car journey? i read from the previous post that they might vomit throughout the entire journey

i'm planning to put him inside a shoebox with clothes n etc because i think travelling w his cage will cost him more pening pening lalat.is it a good idea sifus?

Hey guys i would like to know wat breed is this? thanks

Most probably a long-eared hedgehog

Hemiechinus auritus

Hi got some questions

1) Is it dangerous? LIke if feel threaten cos not familiar wif u then bite u or something?

2) When taking it out from cage to cuddle it, will it run away and hide in almari or something that u wont be able find it anymore?

yup.UTM i'll go back to college by car.i mean.i drive to jb from n9
but sometimes during weekend holidays i rather go back to my hometown by bus.hehe.so how can i handle my hedgies while i'm driving?

Hah. She comes only when there i say 'hibari! Superworm!" or when i give her superworms. After that , defensive mode on!


Not really. Mine does not bite me at all. But she's still scared of me.. It wont really run away. That time my hedgehog escape , i found it under my sofa.

no. You touch them you wont bleed , unless when you touch the spike , and the hedgehog jumping then it will prick you. No it cant shoot the quills , that is porcupine. This is a hedgehog

so cannot sapu sapu the back like dog or cat fur lo..

ahha hi5. 5 mins drive = vomits

but the stomach can sapu sapu coz its so softtt xD.

Hey all, i'm kinda interested in having a hedgehog as a pet after seeing wilsonjay's post in kopitiam. but i've got 1 question, are hedgehogs sensitive to loud sounds? Coz i'm a music lover and i usually turn on the music quite loud.

For the back, actually you still can but just stroke it from the head back to the back.
If you go the other way round then dats ouch..

Added on September 7, 2011, 9:11 pmIf I'm not wrong they are very sensitive to a sudden loud noise and its not recommended to on your music dat loud around your hedgehog.
I'm not a sifu in hedgehog, so dont conclude anything from here and welcome others views as they are much pro in it. Peace!

Hi, I got an albino female hedgehog, d.o.b was 21 january 2011. I was just wondering, wat her weight should actually be and what size? And another thing is, I let my friend kept her for 1 week, but delayed, so only took back after 2 weeks, and thanks to my friend, there's like black stain on her spikes, i tried bathing her with johnson baby shampoo, the stain DID NOT fade even a little, I was thinking of using apple cider vinegar, will it help/harm the hedgehog? or wat would you recommend? thanks.

To athen3891 - realli? how much will it be? Nvm, he o she can accompany u back 2 N9 u will nt b lonely in 3 hours drive

To WintersuN - it still depends, my hedgie doesnt like ppl pet him at the bac, u can take him up whenever u want o play wif him anytime bt not scrubbing his back

To Skinny01010 - err....ya, hedgie are quite sensitive to loud noise, might cause him to be tension, y dun u juz use a headset

After they get familiar with you, theirwill actually lower their quil and not as sharp and spikyanymore, you can actually pet them but the feeling is not the same as petting cats or dogs because its full of quil instead of fur
