my friends own a hedgehog and it's terribly afraid of anyone and everyone. all it does is curl up and hide. something must have happened to it before they bought it.
I have not owned one, but had a friend who did. Hedgehogs are nocturnal. During the day they do nothing other than sleep. At night they move around and can keep you up. They are a terrible pet, showing no emotions or attachment. You cannot play with them or interact with them. Essentially they are a fish that happens to not live in the water. I would recommend against a hedgehog.
^ This is my boyfriend, we're also thinking about getting a hedgehog. Apparently you have to keep their living space 75 degrees F or something around there.
So I have learned that I should keep the hedgie at around 70 degrees fahrenheit and I should feed it the appropriate food so it doesnt die. Also I learned cats are kewl and apparently are better then hedgehogs?
