try to toilet train it
then u wont see dirty bedding everywhere

Em, I think i'm facaing problem about connect with my hedgehog ( Bo Chai forget telling my hedgehog name ).
Nowadays Bo Chai don't know is shy or feel danger with anything, so everytime i go near or want to catch him, he will stay the spike up, somemore will jump abit ( cleaver that want to hit me ).

I less catch him by my hand, mostly use cloth cover him and catch, ya i know use hand holding him is the best way to connect with him, but he always stay the spike up.

Today i try take him out from cage and just let him run all the way, but he just stay the spike up and stone at there. ( No loud tv sound, no other ppl talking there and just a quiet living room there.) Ya hedgehog will lay down the spike when feel safety, but althought if i leave him there but he still stone there for a long time. If i just holding him by using cloth for longer time is it will be nice for our connection or i need to use hand carry him?

Now i feel like i having a middle age hedgehog, actually i take Bo Chai back my home when it was 30 day young. ( Very cute on that time )

30 days ?
i thought need at least 6 weeks?

u should handle it often when he is young then only he will be ok with u.
my kat chai also someetime will like tat

but once i pick him up, he will unroll and try to run away

haha..guys, i get my MongMong just now!! now i own 2 hedgehog, MongMong and ChaCha ..hao add MongMong in list please..thanks!! photo will update in tomorrow morning..cause at night ady..let her sleep..~

Nice o almighty , now your chacha won't lonely lo.
My Bo Chai near around 2 year with me already, seem like i fail to connect with him, anything i can do now???
Sometime when my hand put in the cage, Bo Chai will come to lick on my finger, that time i feel happy, but sometime lick too long will bite....

Now feel like hard to hold him, if i catch him up just roll a ball there, after that he will try escape... catch him again will roll again.

Which time i feel friendly is when bathing, he more scare than friendly to me. Oh yea, any suggestion shampoo for hedgehog bathing? Is it will hurt their eyes when bath?

Everytime i connect with Bo Chai just see him eating, sleeping or bathing only, other than that nothing can do.

Just a idea that need to connect him, that is change a big cage, let him feel like change a new life like that, but i don't know what can do besides this.

I beg your pardon, you keep a hedgie for two years and you still don't know that hedgies love to be left alone than having a companion?

For the shampoo, get Johnson & Johnson No More Tears, remember to keep the head away from being wet by water. What do you mean by connect? Hedgie's routine is to sleep, eat and poo in captive. That's why we recommend wheel to keep hedgie occupied especially at night.

Hedgehogs are always solitary..... I keep 3 but all also in separate containers loh. Never put them together for you will never know what would happen.

Hedgies are loners by nature. They prefer to not be disturbed mostly hahaha.... can handle and play with them but never for long coz they do not really like to be held and cuddled like kittens lah.

I see, because i saw some picture that ppl can holding them until sleeping or just holding for fun, I though I'm not so nice to tame my Bo Chai.

Ok i will keep it in my mind, don't distrub Bo Chai so many time .
But today i only know that, my Bo Chai run very fast.... Because i left him on floor, i just turn around look at my clock, after that my Bo Chai disappear already..... he already run near kitchen there... totally run out from living room..

If handled too long......he will drop a surprise bomb. I got my hedgehog when he was 2years old....kekeke too old i guess.

He's not quite a shy type...but will still evade me when i go near. Thx to the mealworms, i was able to steal his heart.(sounds gay) Now he always sniff my hand. Just feed him RM1 mealworm, can tipu him ady. kekekkeke. I'm so evil.

Oh i see, Hmm when my hand in cage Bo Chai will chase my hand to lick... ( sometime only ).
Oh yea, when i wasing his cage, i put him somewhere else with wheel there, so he will just go up the wheel and runing there, feel like he asking me " wei, faster wash leh, i want to sleep"

lol..so cute yah...is so hard to see my ChaCha run on the wheel..got 1 times midnight i spotted him running, then when he knew i`m there..he stop running and run back in~ the most of the time i can see is sleeping..haha

Yeah today i change a pvc storage for my Bo Chai, around 21"x15" something like tat, too big i can't put in my place there, but is enought let Bo Chai run already. Now is just left the 12" wheel.

When Bo Chai inside the pvc storage box, he just stone there, after that.... run run move move, search around there and go run on wheel awhile, move move again and ........ Pooooooooo. Maybe he want make a sign where he want to poo .
Ya now temperary use other brand wood bedding, tomorow will get those delikate or chipi 1. Hope he enjoy the box for this night.

You are still using the 8" wheel ah?

Hedgehog is really really cute. Honestly until today only i saw people keeping it as pet.

Ya i using 8" wheel, but he don't play at all 1, just let him move move abit then go away from it, just like DJ spin the disc there. My Bo Chai just spin spin the wheel by front foot, after that go down and run to other place. Just now more terible, Bo Chai chasing my hand when i touch his noise....

seems like V4 coming soon la....
