Baby hedgehog to make your heart melt!

[la-la-lara]

I found these photos in my favourite Greek blog and I couldn't help but share them with you. I know all babies are dainty, but this one is adorable!
I've never been fond of hedgehogs, really. They're uglier than cats (though prettier than rats), not cute, caressable, or playful at all. But now that I fell for this little fellow, I think I'll be buying me one soon...;)...

Oh yes. Those hedgehogs weren't particularly adorable.

That one is.

It puts you off a bit when you know they have a symbiotic relationship with their fleas though...

They're nice animals. It didn't make my heart melt, but they certainly are a lot better looking than other species out there.

i will name him squishy and he will be mine and he will be my squishy :DI think I heard that quote before..:pi:



I found some in KL, they're bit costly as well = RM250 each (that means USD 69.39). The ones I saw were the brown standard one (like in the thread :D) and white thorn hedgehogs with red eyes kinda like white rabbits.

They put them in a mirror box and put wood shavings as their 'carpet'/bedding like hamsters has. Problem is I read in websites that those wood shavings can be harmful to them because it can get into their genital areas and it can have lung issues.

Vellux blanket material is preferred for bedding by many because it does not fray and is easy to clean up. This is a plushy velour-like material often used for hotel blankets. Strings from frayed edges on blankets have been known to wrap around hedgehog's legs, causing amputation, so any frayable fabric that is to be near the hedgehog must be checked thoroughly to avoid problems. Fleece blankets can also be used, but the edges should be sewn so that there are no stray threads in which a hedgehog could catch itself. Recycled newspaper beddings are also popular. Cedar and pine bedding have wood oils that are dangerous to hedgehogs and can cause lung issues and even sores. However aspen shavings contain no such oils and are safe for use in hedgehog enclosures. Some beddings can be dangerous due to dust content or propensity to clump up on the hedgehog, others may even get stuck in the hedgehog's genitals. Careful research is necessary before using any unusual bedding materials.

The enclosure should be kept above 70 °F (21 °C) or the hedgehog will attempt to hibernate.
