Hissing is normal behaviour for a hedgehog that feels unsafe. He doesn't know your smell yet so he will hiss.

Before I got a hedgehog, all my research told me NEVER to buy a hedgehog that clicks at me. However, I find that to be rather untrue because even my nicest hedgie clicks at me when I scare her accidentally.

This is what huffing and clicking sounds like. Not very good sound quality though but you'll recognise it in real life if you hear it.

How to choose a hedgehog? Make sure they're healthy, walks normally and their eyes are clear? Buy them from reputable breeders. smile.gif

You're supposed to prepare everything BEFORE you bring your hedgehog home.
You're subjecting him to unnecessary stress because you just brought him into a new environment (the paper box in your house) and you're going to take him out of that environment again soon into the new cage. That's just unnecessary stress to the hedgehog.

Please try to do more research on your own.

You can use a large Toyogo box, the one with six wheels. Also, buy an 11 inch wheel from Pet Lovers Center so he can get his exercise at night.

actually my paper box is quite big...but just not every nice looking...haha
so wan to move him into a better house asap before he really settle down.
btw,where can buy Toyogo box ar?

Large six-wheeled Toyogo box went for around RM40 the last time I checked at Tesco. A bit expensive but definitely cheaper & easier to clean than most cages.

If you want to save money, no need to buy feeding bowls. Just find something that resembles a bowl at home. I use the ceramic 'bowl' that people use to put in ketchup/soy sauce.

u mean sauce plate izzit?normally plastic one rite? hmm.gif
ic ic~~seems like tonight have to go kepong tesco already...
and steal from kitchen some plastic "sauce plate"...

hahah, mine now is not with me, he is now at my hometown, miss him so much, should go back see him cry.gif  but i did not put the water bowl and spoon together with him, oni put the spoon and water bowl in every morning and nite and watch him eat and drink. before this will bring him out to the garden to poop and pee, he is such a gd boy, din pee in his house  laugh.gif oni pee and poo at the garden.
how much the toyogo box ah? i think its around RM20-30.

though 1 year ald but he will also hiss sometimes when i woke him up suddenly or touch his right ear and pet his head, sometimes thats just their personality, mie dun like ppl pet his head and right ear  biggrin.gif

wow....for so long he still recognize u?not hostile at all?
my boy show up a while just now when i m home
Then back to his hide house i made learnt in 1st page of this thread...

Ah yes, correct!
I use ceramic one, y'know, those chinese-looking ones.

I don't use bedding. Used to use wood shavings but they get stuck to 'boy bits' when they pee or get horny (trust me, male hedgies get horny at least twice a day). Plus, I noticed my hedgies scratch themselves a lot more.

I'll go home and snap a picture of their current cages later so you could get an idea or something.

thk you very much~~~ laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif
oh...horny sweat.gif
i dun plan to let this boy get marry...
BOY FOREVER


Added on March 16, 2012, 3:01 pmbtw...i dun see any ceramic sauce plate before...

it means that rather than making excuses and reposting questions on basic know how's which you should have equipped yourself with prior to bringing home a hog, do the right thing and equip yourself.

reading the link which I posted above would be a start. copy and paste the link into your browser's address bar if for some reason it does not open automagically when you click on it.

as for the reaction on your palm, it's perfectly normal for some to get such reactions when first handling their hogs. again, this is covered in the link that I posted above.

haha...thks for ur info bro!its really helpful laugh.gif
btw,great to announce that i finally can handle my boy and he is a tame and frendly boy...
no more hissing while i attempt to touch him,but still shy and hide from my sight...
going to 1u and shop extra stuff for him tongue.gif
