This is my girl..
Name - Cottie
Age - 2 months +
Color - Snowflake SNP
Got her from leonhooi
Loves - exploring, jumping down a cliff (have to stop her from doing that all the time) and rolling her toilet roll on poop
Dislikes - ppl waking her up, she will hiss and become spiky
[attachmentid=2399166]
Lately, Cottie has been biting me many times. She showed signs that she wants to come out from the cage when she wakes up, I put my hand beside her, she put her pawns on my hand, and sniff and BITE. It's not like she is cranky or bad-tempered, so I'm afraid she may be using bite as her way in getting things done.
Any ways to keep her from biting? I tried blowing air into her nose everytime she bites, she would let go but now my hand has 2 punctured holes and bled a little after trying to stop her from biting.
When yr hedgehog bite u, dont pull your hand away as this can cause more injury. I have been bitten several times but not more than 10 times and the biting never cause bleeding. Name - Cottie

Several tips to avoid biting, avoid put your hand or finger at her face when she is not in good mood. Make sure your hand is clean and odourless/ perfumeless. When she start sniff your hand, quickly put your hand away as biting is imminent after sniffing and licking or without licking. I always call my hedgie name to wake him up as he dont like to be disturbed while sleeping. Just be patient, I also had the same problem, maybe he was in bad mood last month because of quilling process.
Now after i bathed him last two days he become more calm. The last time i was bitten was last 2 days during the time i dried him with towel after i bath him first time.
My Hedgehog now can sleep on my lap while i watch tv but i must hold him with my hand or close him with my shirt.
