@@jfloresrodriguez3875 Some stores sell them, but your best bet is a breeder. They are around 150-300 dollars on the hedgehogs alone, but it depends on the state. They're also illegal to own in a few states, so you should check if you can own one in your state.
Wow i just pick them up in the garden for free when they're too underweight to survive winter. Put them back out in the spring. Hedghog hospitals will have free hogs for adoption. Theyre often overloaded from November and injured ones my not be able to go back into the wild.
You have been a life saver I did not have a clue how to care for these little guys you are so awesome at giving advice to people who don't know about caring for these little pigs.❤️😍
I have bought a hedgie plushie and put it in my hedgehog cage so he won't feel alone ( he was used to be in a cage with his brothers) and he snuggles on it when he sleeps! Still a helpful video because now I know what was messing!

This video was so incredibally helpful for me and my other half. We are in the process of getting a African Pygmy Hedgehog(We are on the list for the next batch of hoglettes) and we just wanted to make sure we get everything right so we have a happy little hog.

@@djmclencio Wut... this "lady" specializes in hedgehogs and has helped many people. If that's how you take care of YOUR hedgehog, I don't even think you watched her many videos on these beautiful creatures.
I just what to say thank you for all the videos the tell thangs about hedgehogs and if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be getting one I can't wait until next month eee

Tori, I want to thank you so much my dad is maybe letting me get my dream pet a hedgehog and my dad said the only thing is it has to be a boy and be named sonic 🙄... but I want to say thanks for letting me know all the info I need so I can become a hedgehog mom! 🦔🦔
Very useful video, thank you. I don’t think my hedgie needs any heat lamp. He lives in the caribbean a normal day here can be over 100*F of course inside the house it’s usually in the high 70s. It’ll never drop below 73 in the winter and it’s almost impossible that it will reach 69. He never burries entirely, so I know he’s not feeling cold. Again thanks for your vides I enjoy them very much.

How long can you leave a hedgehog alone? If you can't leave them alone for a long time I don't know what to do when I go on vacation. If I get a pet sitter, do they have to let the hedgehog out or just bond and feed with the hedgehog?
get a pet sitter that will blond with them. you don't want them to get hard to handle. when it comes to Hegies you need to try every night take them out & play with them. also try leaving your old shirts that smell like you to your hegie as a blanket so they continue to have memmory of your smell. & make sure the pet sitter changes the shirts every night
I'm a year late but eeh I'm so excited for you! and since this was posted so long ago I find it suitable to assume you already have them, so how are they?

If i were to use fleece strips for my hedgehog's bedding, would I be able to reuse the bedding by regularly washing it? Would I need to do anything extra to disinfect the bedding? How long would you say fleece strips last as bedding? Thank you for all the useful information you have provided! I really appreciate being able to watch your videos and learn so much more about hedgehogs from an experienced owner!
You can wash fleece strips in linen bags in the washer with Free & Clear detergent. Vinegar is good for sanitizing and odor control, I add about a cup per load.
I was with you until you said they can have wood shavings. This is a BIG NO. Almost every single hedgehog videos says you can not use pine, or cedar. they collect a ton of dust which gets into your heggies mouth and can cause respiratory problems. Also, wood shavings are known for carrying and giving motes to hedgehogs.
Well, I can't speak for where all the other hedgehog RU-vidrs get their information, but mine comes from MANY reputable breeders and hedgehog resources. I also happen to be part of many of the hedgehog groups, as well as the Hedgehog Welfare Society, that all have the same stance on wood shavings. They aren't preferable, I don't use them myself, but they are a safe bedding when used correctly. Aside from cedar, which you should never use for any pet, as I state in the video :)
+PugPibbleHedgie Sorry, i commented before hearing about the cedar part. Just from the information i gathered i thought I'd let people be aware. But you probably do know more than i do, so i trust your word :)
+daynes13 No need to apologize - there are a lot of conflicting opinions on beddings. I always encourage people to do whatever they personally feel the safest with. :)

I've gotta say, my son put an old t-shirt of his into our hedgie's cage so he will get more used to his smell, and it's sonics favorite of anything else in his cage.
The Silent Spinner has a crack down the center that needs sealed. It is prone to catching fingernails and toes on hedgehogs. There have been quite a few people that have woken up to bloody wheels and hurt hedgehogs. To modify it you simply use hot glue (carefully, so you don't melt the plastic) or nontoxic aquarium sealant and seal the crack in the wheel. :) It is easier and much better for your hedgehog to just get a different wheel, such as a Carolina Storm Wheel (they tend to cost the same) or a Comfort Wheel, but if a Silent Spinner is what you prefer, it does need to be made safe :)
About how much does all of this cost including your hedgehog and can you just like list about the prices of everything so that we know if it's in our price range?
hedgehogs cost about 200 to 300$ so they can be very expensive especially with monthly vet visits or 2 month vet visits, u can buy all this from amazon and for cheap but most r 10-14$ for cheapest and cqges can range from 70 to 100$
My breeder charges $225 per hoglet. The shipping can be between $25-$75, all the supplies are about $175-$250 (approximately). I'd plan for at least $400
All of this includes a bin cage (at least 105 QT), a ceramic heat emitter 100-150 WATT (possibly 2), the thermometer shown here, a wheel 12"+, a dome light fixture, bedding, food, hide, enrichment, etc
+Lauren Quinn I have one and ive done that sice ive had him and it is no problem. i just take it off and put a new one on. its way easier and i have never ha a problem with it.
Is it ok to leave my hedgehog alone for 4 days. I got her recently. I heard some people say you should leave them alone for a little bit so they can get used to their new home. So I am not sure if I can leave her alone for 4 days.
+Evie Regan No, don’t leave her alone. Start bonding with them the first day they come home. While in some animals leaving them alone can help them get used to their homes and prevent excessive stress, in hedgehogs this only delays their ability to get used to you.
PugPibbleHedgie I am going on a road trip and could bring her with but we are visiting relatives who have 2 dogs and the house is quite noisy. I am not sure how it will affect her. It might stress her out.
+AliceChibi Spring loaded water bottles really shouldn't be used for any animal - they can catch their tongues in them. Some hedgehogs have ripped their tongues off using them.
When you use the strips of fleece can you pile it up inside an igloo for them to burrow in thile in there or does it have to be in the mesh laundry bag?
Hi, I’m getting a hedgehog in December (currently on a waitlist for a breeder) and I live right by train tracks, would this be okay for hedgehogs since they have sensitive hearing and are skittish? Would they adapt over time?
Hello Tori, I found some breeders but one of the customers had a hedghog that got diagnosed for cancer at 1 years old :0, does that make the company a bad one? And i heard cancer is common in hedghogs, how do i make sure I get a healthy one? Also do adoption centers have healthier hedghogs or shops? And how do i know what's an adoption center and what's a shop? Ok bye

@@djmclencio Alrighty... 1. Hedgehogs like sand but they are fine with blankets 2. They don't 'hate' light 3. False, hedgehogs have tons of personality 4. Hedgehogs NEED wheels, they can run at 12 mph 5. You are just accusing her at this point :/
+Madison Jones I don't own any pet store cages so I'm not entirely sure what all the cages are off the top of my head. I know the large Living World Deluxe Habitat is a good option, as is the Midwest Guinea Pig Habitat. They're both fairly pricey cages, so you would save a lot of money making a C&C cage or a bin cage, but they are both generally okay for hedgehogs. Anything that is 4sqft would work as well. The only problem with wire cages (with exposed wire, that is) is that if a hedgehog climbs the bars, it can be quite dangerous so there is a possibility that you would have to make the sides higher on the Living World or Midwest cage with cardboard or coroplast.
You should feed them one tablespoon of food in the morning and then about 1 teaspoon of like bugs or veggies fruits etc. And about again half a tablespoon of food. In the evening

I’m getting my little baby in July, I bought a two story cage for him the other day but after seeing this I hope he will like it and I will definitely be putting something on the side of the ramp. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I should put on the sides?
I like to use doggy wipes on areas that *DO NOT LIKE HER/HIM* to excrete on. She hasn't crapped on the wheel anymore, And she uses her litter box because i didnt doggy wipe that area.
I couldn't help but notice that you use pine bedding in your litter tray....I remember reading somewhere that your not soused to use pine or cedar bedding because its not good for the hogs. Is there a difference between litter and bedding?
+daniela jae There is. :) The main difference is the drying process. Kiln dried pine is perfectly safe for hedgehogs and is used very frequently in litter trays to keep odors down. Regular pine and any kind of cedar bedding are not safe.
If I have a fan on in my room at night and it gets a bit chilly does a hedgehog still need any heat source even with a lot of bedding and hides? It’s going to be in a 200qt bin cage so the walls will be solid and it will go on a storage rack in my room so there will be a few inches above it until the other bin on the other rack, so there’s enough room for ventilation but I’m not sure if there would really be a draft consisting but I do keep my room pretty cool. I will pile up Kaytee or carefresh on the one side though?
Have you ever heard of a hedgehog being trained and used as a service animal? I was thinking of getting my future hedgehog trained as a service/therapy animal.
+Rowan Khazaeli Hedgehogs cannot be service animals, by law, nor can they really be trained. They can however be used as emotional support animals which is different and requires no training and basically just means your pet provides you with support for your mental wellbeing.
Hi. Would a setup of a 3.93 foot by 1.64 foot vivarium with perhaps extra vents (the bottom sealed with safe sealant) and a ceramit heat emitter on a pulse thermostat at 23-24oc on the hot side and 21 on the cool measured by digital thermometers be ok? I'm thinking this setup with puppy pads topped with a fleece liner (purpose made with no threads) and 1 litter box with wood pellet litter or aspen in underneath the wheel (a carolina storm wheel) and another litter box in another corner filled with aspen or pellets (boxes low enough to be accessible), with a snuggle sack and covered plastic igloo for sleeping and a small ramekin bowl for food be ok? Possibly a soft fleece tunnel or wooden tunnel as well and lots of safe to use cat balls and toys (not to be catching little hedgie feet). I am thinking a heavy but small ceramic bowl for drinking as i've heard bad things about water bottles.
