Hedgehogs will pee and poop while they run, so the wheel and herself will be dirty, so it usually will be a better idea to have a litter box at the bottom to make cleaning easier

@Wilbywimz 7 дней назад

I definitely recommend a big litter box underneath the wheel. In one night my hedgehog makes a MESS which is much easier to clean with a litter box also!! very important not to use water bottles ive heard horror stories of their tongues getting stuck and even ripped off. lastly, dont worry about the hissing, any noise or touching they need to get used to. My hedgehog always hisses when picked up and then realizes its me and calms down

@Syoung048 8 дней назад

Maybe she should grind up the mealworms and sprinkle it on the cat food to get her to eat it? I know nothing about hedgehogs but this seems like a universal trick for animals when they aren’t eating. I’m really excited to see her expand her animal family ❤

@autumngrace. 8 дней назад

The wet cat food I got at the end of the video helped some!! She ate that and part of the dry food

@cherrywinterberry 8 дней назад

Looking forward to seeing more of Ember. Seeing how scared she is though I would probably leave her alone for a couple more days so she gets comfortable in your home before handling her again, but I don't think it's gonna hurt to handle her right away I just thought it might just be a lot for her to get used to at once. ❤

@donnarn2727 8 дней назад

Congratulations on your new hedgehog! Keep learning to give Ember her best life. I don't know much about hedgehogs, but as a hamster owner who are corpuscular/nocturnal, I recommend resisting bothering her while she is sleeping. Wait for her to wake up on her own moving around the enclosure before attempting bonding activities, try dimming the lights in her area so not to have artificial daytime at night (not great to videos, but better for her well-being). I think the same premises of prey animal bonding apply. Let her sniff you, put soft items you have rubbed your hands on in the enclosure, resist scooping her up for a few days, try hand feeding her to gain her trust. Welcome, Ember!

@autumngrace. 8 дней назад

Thank you for the advice!! When we move I think she’ll have her own little corner of the room which I’m going to curtain off to keep it darker when I may be filming/interacting with the pigs in the evening

@youreinvalid8493 7 дней назад

@@autumngrace. I got a small 5x3 black out curtain online for under €10 ( I do believe it was temu, though..) for my bearded dragons cage. I can have the lights on in my room and his cage will still be completely black. For sure one of the best purchases I've made for him. Keeping a solid day and night cycle is really important imo.

@skullbash6490 7 дней назад

HEDGEHOG!!! Love every time you help a fur baby in need. Cute little huffs. I don’t know about how your hedgehog will react, but my hedgehog won’t eat mealworms any way but live. Also, those pom pom balls are something I wouldn’t personally recommend for hedgehogs. Anything she could rip apart and swallow little bits of. Hedgehogs don’t have strong jaws. I compare it to baby proofing. If it’s safe for a baby, it’s safe for a hedgehog. I also use really small puzzle toys like a niteangel treat ball or hamster foraging toys. I’m sure you’ll be a great hedgehog owner!

Such a sweet girl, it will take time but she will get used to you. Once you are both more comfortable they say to hold them without a blanket it makes it easier for her to bond with you. The other thing is they absolutely hate being woken up lol, they will hiss and they get very very grumpy. For this being your first hedgehog u r doing phenomenal

For bonding advice when I used to have a hedgehog, the best thing to do when they were scared is to put an old T-shirt with them in their cage!❤

@idarahmqvist1373 7 дней назад

You should look into getting a pulse proportional thermostat. They work really well with che. I wouldn’t skip having one altogether, as the heat in the cage may depend on the heat in the room. If the rooms heat is constant it wouldn’t be a problem, as long as the lamp doesn’t malfunction. good luck! ❤

@trishawaddell564 6 дней назад

Both of my girls came from similar situations. Neither of them even had names! They don’t live together (my first girl sadly passed away from an URI despite receiving a lot of vet care). My current girl is a very sweet girl who runs miles a night. She will not eat any live mealworms oddly, only dried ones but I am still 🎉trying to get her interested in some more nutritional food rather than just the cat kibble that she loves. There are a few companies that make hedgehog food but the ingredients they use is very bad quality so I will not use any of them! A high quality cat food is best! I have a very shallow pan that I am using for the litter box. The base can be slid under the litter box or put in the litter box. It’s recommended to do this b/c they pee and poo when they exercise so that is why their litter boxes are used. You should also try to find her a pouch that she can totally hide herself in. They prefer to be completely hidden in order to feel safe and be able to relax and sleep. Being in a new place, especially with the smell of a dog, may have her feeling very threatened as a nocturnal prey animal

@FunSize_Paradise 7 дней назад

Hedgehogs have 4 personalities. They can be super friendly, adventurous, grumpy, and basic. So super friendly is like they rarely ever curl up and don't hiss at you and their just all for cuddles and being handled. Adventurous is just like the name. They'd rather be exploring and being curious than being handled and being with you. Grumpy is also in the name. They are always gonna hiss at you and ball up no matter how many times you handle them or how used to you they are. Basic is a mix between grumpy and super friendly. They get all huffy and puffy at you at first every time you go to handle them, but then they open up to you after a while. Hedgehogs poop 1/4 the amount that piggies do. So you'll only find a handful at most. I read that you shouldn't give to many mealworms often because of their exoskeleton. Hedgehogs have a hard time digesting it. Same with other bugs that have exoskeletons.

@autumngrace. 7 дней назад

She’s so cute. 🩷 I would honestly just leave her to settle in and get used to her surroundings the first week or so before attempting to handle her as it sounds like she’s just got major relocation stress (perfectly normal). Someone else suggested popping something in her enclosure with her with your scent on which is a neat idea. When she’s awake in the evenings and you go in to give the piggies veggies maybe pop in and talk to her so she can start getting used to your voice too.
