Hello Guys,

My first post in this thread.

First I like to say is ... I GOT A HEDGEHOG !

Second thing is ... the little guy is not tame Always angry and doesn't trust people.

I gave it treats, gently petting it, look at it, talked to it for more than 30 mins at one time everyday and many times each day when it is awake. Constantly in return all i get is a grumpy stare, "don't mess with me" kinda impression and "get lost and get outta my face" message from the little fellow.

So my question,

How long does it take to actually begin to be friendly? I know it is a really cool pet and all, and trust me I really love my hedgehog but the little guy has a different set of perception on me.

Do advice thanks.....

I was thinking if the one I have has the soul of a TIGER I have no choice but to return it back to the store.

i don't think a hedgehog can be as friendly as how i think you hope it would be.

as most of us already know, hedgehogs' temperaments are inherited, so if it's grumpy it's very unlikely that you can change it's temper that easily. of course, previous owner's care plays a part as well. if it's used to not being handled by human, it's natural for the hedgehog to raise its quills when they see unfamiliar moving things.

besides, hedgehogs are solitary animals, not like dogs, you can play with it all day long and it will still be like how it is because it's how they behave.

but don't judge your hedgehog so fast, many owners here have hedgehogs with all sorts of temperaments, and everyone have a story to tell, so maybe your grumpy pet will turn out to be a great pet for you.

yes ,she is

Hi guy,I recently just start rare hedgehog and i found out my hedgy some times will garu his body and ear. Does that mean that there is mite ?

Besides that.when i that her out for roaming..she will poo/pee after few min.. That because of stress or ?

sometimes is ok as long as its not always
normally if its stress the poo is greenish in color one

if just one or two times,its normal
but if it scratch like it's non stop
time to send it to vets

to KF and muchan : then i should find a bf tat love animal ~ muahahaha

To echosmiles and raymond : welcome to hedgehog thread , o well , my gal do always garu her body when she wake up , maybe get bite from mosquito , u have to bath ur hedgie twice a week to make sure ur hedgie is clean.

LM : twice a week... wont it be too often? xD mine.. usually bath once a week or once 2 weeks if I'm too busy

to those new owner, pokimon wont be as tame as a dog or what u expect them to be... the words tame means they wont poke u or bite... cuz pokimon that not tame they tend to poke ppl and bite if they felt annoyed..

@broken_string and mamatan : thanks for the information

@lifemaniac : yea I will

LM + Muchan + Mamata : I am getting my first hedgie home.. Will let u know where i get it later at night.. Hehe

raymond-kyeow [RK] + echosmiles = Helo.. Welcome to the world of POKI POKI POKIMON!! hehe

Thanks for the warm welcome guys...

Ok. I spent like 2hours playing with my Poki-Poki yesterday. Each time she sniff my finger or come to me I gave her a mealworm . Wah... this morning before I left for work. She was actually looking for me (looking for food la actually). But anyway, I find it as good progression as now she thinks of me as a food dispenser and hopefully not as a prey anymore. I gave her a treat before i left and i hope for all the best later tonight when i'm home.

So happy that my little durian-like friend is giving me hope.

Cheers*

but remember to watch out with ur finger when feeding them with mealworm
