I've always wanted to know, are hedgehogs prickly like porcupines or are they soft?

[–]smeenz 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If you touch them end on, they're sharp, but if you pick it up with the spines flat across your palm, they're fine. When they get scared, they curve their back to make the spines stick out more.

I've usually picked them up with gloves or a big leaf as protection for my hand, as they can carry a lot of diseases

You must be talking about wild hedgehogs. Pet hedgehogs aren't vectors for much that they don't get from humans first.

I was going to mention that I wanted one as a pet, but instead I think I'll just go buy a cheeseburger.

[–]Elanthius 2 points3 points ago

Their spines are much closer together so they're not as stabby as porcupines but they are still prickly.

[–]xMictainx 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Unlike porcupines hedgehogs can put their quiles down and they can raise them if they feel threatened but if they're calm they're quiles have a soft feeling to them I have one he's 6 months old

Is it just me, or are hedgehogs seemingly down for a picture at just about any time?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The look on that hedgehog's face isn't one of 'hey, take my picture' but 'ok, I give up and have quit thrashing about, I'm tired, go ahead.'

Do you have a daily routine with him? Hedgehogs, like human babies, do better when they know what's going on, and keeping a daily routine makes them very happy.

Every evening, without fail, bring your hedgehog out of his cage, put him on your lap in a blanket, and feed him 3-4 mealworms. Then just hold him in your lap for an hour or so while doing something quiet.

That's my big issue I need to make things more consistent :/ I blame college

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yes, hedgehogs are definitely not good pets for the vast majority of students. They hate loud noises and love routine, which is pretty much the antithesis of life in college.

If you haven't already please visit the sidebar links in r/hedgehog for the best care information.

Why did I assume seeing something totally different when clicking the link? It was hedgehog with bubbles. I honestly searched for awhile for anything else in that picture. Like a hidden genital in a reflection or something.

They don't make good pets for most people. The links in the sidebar of /r/hedgehog have good information on what it takes to care for one.

They can be fairly anti-social if you don't work really hard to socialize them. They are technically nocturnal, so it can be difficult.

[–]zootphen 0 points1 point ago

Well, I'm nocturnal too.

That's not his/her hedgehog. That image has been reposted about twenty or so times over the past year.

He's got a bubbly face and a bubbly nose. He'll bubble you clean and soften your skin. He'll bubble your nose and bubble your chin. It's so much one when you walk in with Mr Bubble!

My mother had one of these and let it roam the apartment when she was in her early 20's. When she met my dad he freaked the fuck out when he almost stepped on it on his way to the bathroom. Cute as hell though.
