[QUOTE=hula whoop;30131495]seriously? all of the people I've talked to said they need a cage (a couple of my friends have one/work in pet stores). But what you said makes sense.[/QUOTE] Yeah those things climb a lot, their paws can get stuck between the little bars too. I made my hedgehog a home made from 2 Rubbermaid containers, with a PVC pipe in the middle. One area to eat and sleep, the other to run and play with its toys.
construct a siege catapult capable of hurling large quantities of baby hedgehogs far distances, at least 1/4 mile position your catapult outside of the capitol and let your demands be heard, making it very clear what will befall upon the city (baby hedgehogs) if your demands are not met before launch, quickly irritate the baby hedgehogs by showing them a Teen People magazine or other inflammatory stimuli, so that upon impact they will be rigid and effective remember to calculate for wind speeds, noting that if the wind is blowing 5mph to the west and your target is 1/4 mile away, you should aim about 6 degrees to the east to counteract this wind. adjust accordingly for varying distances and speeds finally, launch the catapult full of baby hedgehogs (use your hedgehog to breed them), and unleash the rigid, spiked hell upon the city or take care of the hedgehog and treat it as a pet
Can't say I know it's gender. I'd go look, but he's so cute sleeping ... dawww. I'll try to look tomorrow,
Why would hedgehogs be illegal in some places?
[QUOTE=br4ww;30131489]Will do, maybe not tomorrow but I plan on doing it. EDIT: I don't know anymore. CAGE or AQUARIUM?[/QUOTE] Trust me, use an aquarium. It has to be fairly large though, or you won't have room for a house, wheel, and food/water.

Looks like it. Hm, I really enjoyed all the tips I got from you guys, :buddy: ..
[QUOTE=Sublata;30131660]pretty much one has a penis and one has a vayjayjay?[/QUOTE] The penis on the male is actually that little circle next to its left arm, though.

[h2]Hedgehogs love grapes because they can play with them and eat them too.[/h2]
I don't have any advice for you, but I must say hedgehogs are awesome and that one looks pretty cool. I didn't realise that people kept them as pets though, the most common type over here in the UK are protected and cannot be kept as pets (although they are pretty much everywhere in the wild here, or used to be anyway). (Also Wikipedia has a bit about their enclosures, might be useful for you [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domesticated_hedgehog#Enclosures[/url])
I'm not an expert on hedgehogs, but I had one for a while. We fed it "hedgehog food" from the store (pretty much cat food with dry vegetables). A tank is fine, just make sure he has enough room to walk around. For the bedding, wood shavings work pretty good. Give him a tunnel or something to hide under. For water just get one of those water bottles that hangs over the side of the talk. Then again, we had an adult hedgehog and that's a baby. Get a book, or ask someone ask someone at a petshop
get a breeders license and you can legally keep it in some states.

When i was a kid i used to look for hedgehoges and give them milk. yeah they like milk.
Eat it.
[QUOTE=Kryzech;30133202]When i was a kid i used to look for hedgehoges and give them milk. yeah they like milk.[/QUOTE] Don't give them milk. They can't digest it effectively, and it makes them sick, possibly even fatally.
I found a hedgehog outside my house. You should convert it to Sonic-ism
Make a terrible game with him.
[QUOTE=Klammyxxl;30130734]Feel how soft it is by rubbing it on your face. [url]http://www.angelfire.com/wa2/comemeetmyfamily/CaringForYourHedgehog.html[/url] Make sure they're legal in your area. And if they aren't, don't let it escape.[/QUOTE] That woman is crazy I think.
But now the mother hedgehog is looking for its baby also baby hedgehogs are tiny, they should be smaller or same size of your palm
Paint it blue and roll it on a hot wheels track! :D
Is it the fastest thing alive?
Good news everyone! I lifted him up, he curled into a small spiky ball and moments later he calmed down and open'd up in my palm. It was so cute :3: ... Also! She's a female... Well, supose since I didn't see any "bellybutton" or penis or whatever. I'll be heading out and getting it some toys and proper food as well as some bedding and stuff later.
I prefer groundhogs.
