Hedgehog FAQs
Will my pet hedgie bite me?
Anything with teeth can bite. However, this is not your hedgies’ first line of defense. They will most likely roll into a ball and hiss until they feel the danger has passed. Often your hedgie will start by licking your finger before nipping out of curiosity, meaning you probably smell like something they want to try.
If your hedgie bites, don’t immediately put them down. This will teach them that biting gets you to leave them alone. Try not to flinch or yank your finger away, instead try gently blowing on your hedgies face.
No, they do not have scent glands and do not produce an odor. If they are kept in a clean cage they are virtually odorless.
Do hedgehogs need baths?
Try to give your hedgie a bath only when it’s necessary since it can be stressful and drying to their skin. They will keep themselves clean and have no odor if they are kept in a very clean environment.
Do hedgies require vaccinations or shots?
Thankfully, None are needed.
Can I litter-train my hedgehog?
Hedgehogs will not constantly or reliably use a litter box. Oftentimes they pick a place in their cage they like to potty the best and it’s easiest to spot-clean that place.
Are hedgehogs good with kids?
Hedgehogs are hearty animals and low maintenance! They are a great first pet for children. I have taught children as young as 4 to 5 years old to hold hedgehogs and as long as there is a willing family to help with daily care they are fantastic pets.
Can I legally own a hedgehog?
Before deciding to purchase a hedgehog, research whether they are legal to own as pets in your state, city, and county. If you are traveling with your hedgie out of state, know the legal status of hedgehogs in all areas you will be traveling.
Should I get a male or female hedgehog?
There are very few differences between males and females, and they are all anatomical. Each hedgie has its own personality and habits. Their personality in the long run will depend on many factors, the main one being handling. Regardless, most hedgies bond well by simply sleeping on their owner’s lap. Females do not go into heat or have a period. If you see blood in your female hedgehog’s stool or urine, get to a vet immediately.
How are hedgehogs with other pets?
Larger animals may frighten them, we recommend not having direct contact with larger animals. You can purchase a ‘hamster ball’ and let them roll around without worrying about direct contact. Hedgehogs can be easily stressed and intimidated from exposure to large animals and should never be housed in the same cage with any other species.
What supplies do I need for my hedgehog?
The main necessities for owning a hedgehog are a cage, method of heating, hidey house, pine bedding, hedgehog food, and water bottle. All supplies are available at pickup to purchase.
What sex is my hedgehog?
Hedgehogs are easy to sex. Males have a prominent “belly button” (the penile sheath) located about halfway up the abdomen, whereas females do not. Both sexes have nipples.
Are there differences between male and female hedgehogs?
Besides anatomical differences, male and female hedgies are pretty much the same. Each individual hedgehog has its own personality. No particular gender is a better pet.
How do I pick up my hedgehog?
The best way to pick up a hedgie is to scoop him up with both hands under the belly. Keeping your hands very flat they will unroll – do not touch the quills if they are erect.
My hedgie is foaming at the mouth and spreading on his quills! This is called “self-anointing”. When a hedgie finds a new smell or one they just like, they will froth at the mouth, contort themselves, and spread the saliva mix on their quills. Some hedgies do this often, some, or not at all. Hedgies especially like to do this with new smells.
How do I trim my hedgehog’s nails?
It’s important that you are capable and comfortable with nail trimming. If they get too long they can cause discomfort and curling. Having an extra hand is always helpful when trimming your hedgies nails. If you don’t have an extra hand, you can try using a wire grid. Have your hedgie walk on the grid and when their foot falls though, grab it and start trimming. To get your baby used to you touching their feet you can play with them during handling time. The best thing to use is human baby nail clippers. If you cut the pink part use quick-stop, corn starch, or flour to stop the bleeding. If this happens, don’t feel too bad. Almost every hedgie owner has done it at one time or another.
How do I give my hedgehog a bath?
Hedgies don’t need baths very often but do get dirty feet from running on their wheel. If this is the case, a foot bath is better than a whole bath. To give a foot bath, simply run an inch or 2 of warm (not hot) water in the sink or tub, and let Hedgie walk around. This will loosen and wash off the residue. You can use coconut oil in the water for cleaning and you can splash the water on the baby if they need further cleaning.
What should I use for heating my hedgie’s cage?
A heating pad under the cage is the best option for heating the baby. Some people recommend heat lamps, but in my experience, they are too hot for hedgehogs and dangerous to use
What temperature should my hedgehog be kept in?
The proper temperature would be indoors at a warm 73-78 degrees F. This needs to be consistent around the year.
What is this bald strip on my hedgehog's head?
There are no quills there because there are muscles that help the hedgie roll into a ball.
How do Hedgehogs drink? Should I use a water bottle or a dish?
There is some debate over whether a dish or a bottle is better. The bottle is the only acceptable means to give your hedgehog clean water. Using a bowl is not sanitary, the hedgehogs will step in the water or can push shavings in which can contaminate the water.
