haha, my smoking zone is in my room only. but if i leave my hedgie outside my room, scared my 3 dogs bully it.... btw, where to buy hedgie ya?

hehe.. at pet shop.. garage sale also have (i also have.. hehe!) err.. cannot discuss business here.. later kena marah..

haha then pm pm

smart dog u hv there

3 toy poodles, all 3 different character. .... lets just say, my dogs took over my position in my family. my mum sayang them more than sayang me la...

btw, how can your dog bully the hedgie if you're keeping the hedgie in cages..

i don't have running pets in house so don't really know..

im planning to let it roam freee in my room...
lol

then u hv to watch where u sit and step all the time...

yeah , ive expected that much, now im only afraid of the next pet coming to my room, my gf's ferret..

wont fight meh? like that...u staying in zoo or room? ROFL

lol
my hse will be a zoo soon. wat to do, my family all like diff pets... thank god no birds...

lol it's nice ur parents all like pet...
I wish my parent like that too... if not it would be easy for me to have dog..

btw... bout having hedgie... i dun think its good to just let it roam free in ur room... later they run here n there and u cant even catch them xD
my bro tried it before... xD she runs here n there n my bro try so hard to catch her.. haha

Cim : you sure 'tahan' urself huh? I said no pic then no pic.. when i said okay.. u spammed a lot!!! LOL

I'm thinking to buy the hidebox for ken tomorrow... hehe

sometimes having too many pets = big problem. but i shall not discuss here, out of topic lol

haha... indeed they gave too much problem...
but as long as they can understand n willing to listen what we told them it would be great!!! xD

like my dog... he's too 'manja' to me... so everytime I asked him to sit he will roll on the floor.. when I asked him to shake hand he will just sit only -.-""
really made me wan to scold also cannot... lol

btw~~~ seems this thread alive again!!! come on guys~~~
lets poison more ppl to come here~~ 8D
as for me... wait till my mom go back this sunday.. then i can post lots of ken's pic.. she's kinda scare with him... so can't really let him roam freely in my room these day... xD

can't post any of mine since i don't have a camera and i have no idea how to upload. wait till i can afford a camera, hahaha... but i think it's gonna be hard, cuz even if i have the money i'll buy another hedgehog...

Hedgehogs most sensitive and developed sense is their sense of smell.
even simple things like certain detergents or the smell of lotion on your hands can cause a surprising degree of respiratory irritation in hedgies
Im afraid cigarette smoke would be a big no.
Prolonged and continued exposure to smoke of any kind will likely result in a URI. An untreated URI can kill a hedgehog in days.

Another thing is free roaming hedgies, its not reccomended.

Due to their small size and love of squeezing into small corners. you might move a chair/table/box only to result in accidentally killing your hedgie
Even a simple thing like opening a door when the hedgie is behind the door....you can imagine
All wiring must be hidden, all holes closed up.
Also yes, some hedgies can be litter trained, but not all.
A larger area means you will need multiple litter trays. and even then the hedgie might not use them instead choosing to pee and poo wherever he pleases. Not to mention you will be stepping on quills like there is no tomorrow.
Can you ensure that the floor will always be clean of things that the hedgie might eat and choke/get poisoned with?
Hedgehogs dislike bright lights and loud noises. Can your room be dark and quiet?
The hedgehog will have difficulty identifying its own 'zone' because other people are always invading it. Where will it go when it wants some quiet private time? How will you minimize the stress this will cause.

Theres just too many things that can go wrong...

Also ferrets and hedgies do not go well together. How will you be able to keep your free roam hedgie safe without a cage? Accidents can happen and you wont be home 24/7 to make sure they dont.

Please dont attempt to let them make 'friends'.
In the wild the number 1 predator of hedgehogs is the fox, totally genetically unrelated to the ferret but with a very similar personality.
Ferrets in olden times were trained to hunt rats, totally genetically unrelated to hedgies but once again similar enough.

Atolycus, perhaps a hedgie is not suitable for your situation?
Since you have not bought one yet i suggest you do alot more reasearch about them, rather than buy and make mistakes.
From the situation you wanted to put your hedgie in it seems like maybe you misunderstand what they are like.
They are a solitary, small prey animal that requires alot of peace, quiet, patience.

yeah.. take as much time needed thinking..

since no-one post.... i post some la...
i think this is my best shot of Kenta.... xD



close up


Cim... I din use sand d.. but till now I'm still thinkin bout it...
should i use breeder celect esp. for litter? or can use it for bedding also?
I use litter box to make my job easier as he knows how to poo n pee on the litter box..
of no litter box he just simply pee poo on the bedding which made it smelly n have to change everytime..
if got litter i can just throw the things...how how how?
