A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Actually, according to this website, the spines come thorugh the skin a few hours after birth.

as someone who has once bred hedgehogs, I can confirm that they come out all pink and smooth and their spines come through shortly after like small cactuses.

To have hedgehogs as pets, doesn't their spine hurt?

[–]Oorangelazarus 117 points118 points ago

I had a pet hedge once. It absolutely hated people (probably the way it was treated at the shady pet shop I bought it from.) It would curl up into it's little ball of death, trapping my fingers like a sarlac. Eventually gave it to a local breeder, but man that thing was a little prick.

    I had an asshole pet hedgehog as well. He did the sarlac trap too, but he'd also bite and draw blood.

    When I left for college I made my little brother take care of the thing... it was dead before thanksgiving.

    I had two hedgehogs as pets. Their spines are rather smooth and lay flat when they are not scared and are, for example, just eating some worms or something awesome like that.

    When they are scared, they do get huffy and roll up into a spiney ball, but the spines are not like what you are probably imagining. They have a texture similar to that of a hard plastic comb's teeth. They are pointier at the end than a comb's teeth of course, but not "sharp."

    I was never cut or impaled or damaged in any way by my hedgehogs' spines. Yes, if you are a predator and lunging at them with full force, it would probably hurt, but as far as poking holes or pricking me? You can pick them up and hold them in this state just fine.

    edit: A plastic toothpick might be a more apt comparison. Yes, it'll impale you if you slam your hand into it, but in all other scenarios, it's essentially harmless.

    yes if they are angry or not accustomed to people. The ones handled from very a young age, almost never ball up. The spines lay smooth along their body when they don't' feel threatened but if they do they will ball up and raise the spines.

                  Hedgehogs are very territorial, and usually do better in solitary cages. They can get along with others, but typically female-female pairs are the only ones that work out, if at all.

                      Thank you! My roommate has one; he's a little fucker. Just sleeps all day, then is loud as fuck trying to burrow under his wheel at night. And if you try to pick him up or even look at him, he starts sniffing really loud like he having an asthma attack. And he doesnt even collect rings. Pictures: cute. Real life: boring

                          I can just hear the adult one huffing and puffing. They sound like a squeeze toy minus the squeaking when they are balled up like that.

                          while they may be cute they are angry critters. My roommate has one for a pet and if you so much as come near it or think about it it starts hissing at us.

                          Then your roommate should handle it more. They have to be socialized to get normalized to the smell of people.

                          There will always be some variation in personalities, and in my experience, socialization while they're younger is most important. Sorry if yours is just kind of an asshole.

                          For the first six months we kept telling ourselves "Oh he'll warm up eventually", nope! Oh well he's cute and pretty low maintenance and sometimes he cuddles without being a jerk.

                            I've always wanted a baby hedgehog as a pet. I have the money for one and supplies for months... or I can build a new computer. What do?

                            Baby hedgehogs become adult hedgehogs. You can't really handle babies a whole lot anyway until they're about 3-4 weeks old (the mothers sometimes eat them due to the foreign smell), and they're full grown by about 6-8 weeks, so your baby time is short.

                            As for whether you really want one, they're an extremely cute pet. However, they don't play fetch or go to the park with you, and since they're nocturnal, the most common activity you can do with them is have them go to sleep on you. They like to run on wheels all night long (which bothers some people), and if they get out of their cage, they're similar to rats/mice in that they can get into very tiny spaces and be difficult to get out (fortunately, they're SUPER food motivated, so usually just turning off all the lights and setting a bowl of food out will draw them back out). The ridiculous cuteness of watching them do just about anything never really goes away though.

                            confirmed.

                            • Watching mine eat a cracker = fucking adorable.
                            • It playing with a toilet paper tube,getting its head stuck in tube, and then running around the floor like that = even more adorable.
                            • filling a sink/basin enough water to let them swim = again adorable.

                              Build a computer. If you're not sure you want to take care of an animal (an adult one, since they're only adorable babies for a couple months) for the rest of its life, you probably shouldn't get one. The novelty wears off sooner than you'd think, and then you've got a responsibility you didn't think about and the poor critter will most likely be neglected and miserable.

                              As a PC gamer with a Hedgehog I'll lend my opinion. Do you have a gaming pc already and desire a pet? Get the hedgehog. Hedgehogs live for 5-8 years so if your at all uncertain about the hedgehog situation I would recommend getting the PC upgrade. Also buy from a breeder if possible, Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome is a nasty disease and any good breeder should have eliminated it from their "lines" via selective breeding.

                              Do you have the money for medical care? Exotic vet visits are usually more expensive than cats and dogs.

                                If you're gonna be a breeder, don't get attached to the ones you have. Breeding can change a mother's personality wildly, and it's fairly common that mothers eat or abandon their babies. If you want hedgehogs to love and cherish, I wouldn't recommend breeding them.

                                  The baby reminds me of the surprised kitty. In case you didn't see enough cuteness with this posting, here is the kitten again.

                                  When I first looked at this, I thought the nose was its only eye - kinda grossed me out. But looking closer, I guess the eyes are squinted just above the nose. Still, not all that cute, imo.

                                  I have just rescued a Hedgehog which was pottering around in the middle of the road when I got home from work. It's not looking too good, and I have been googling what on earth I can do to help the poor little thing. It's asleep on a hot water bottle in a box at the moment, I hope it pulls through.

                                  I'm going to ask the obvious: How does one handle a hedgehog without getting hurt?

                                  I guess I can just quit searching for cute shit on the internet, because I'm never going to top this.

                                  A customer of mine has one of these, she named him jersey and just adopted/bought another one. I was going for sonic in the name pool but found out it was a girl and so I suggested amy rose! to be determined....

                                  How the hell are you handling them with your bare hands? My family used to raise them when I was a little tyke, and maybe it was because I was young, but I remember it hurting a ton using only my bare hands.

                                  It would hurt like hell to give birth to one of these things.
