Oh, I want one! So cute.

 

[Torty Mom]

Well isn't that the cutest little thing ever! My son and I wanted one a few years ago, but I learned they are not allowed in California!

Well I think they are really easy to keep and relatively odourless if you are hardworking in clearing their poop.

Only thing is that you require lots of patience so that they get used to you and not turn into a pin cushion everytime you walk near them.

Sooo adorable
Congrats on the new addition!

They LOOOOOVE roaches.

That is just about the cutest thing ever. I didn't know that you could have them as pets. What do they require? Are they hard to keep? Congratulations.

They are really easy to keep
I use kitty litter though there are other beddings you can use as well.
They are kinda like hamsters except that they don't chew everything like hamsters do

Exercise is on a large Guinea Pig wheel

Food is basically cat food and stuff like carrots

Hedgehogs are not rodents like what most people think
They belong to the order of Erinaceidae.

Hedgehogs have canine teeth like dogs/cat and not incisors like rodents.

Which is why you don't have to worry about them trying to chew through their cage or wires.

Well, they’re not nippy. They might nibble your fingers because they are curious though they might bite if you frighten them or if you try to handle them when they are grumpy.

Most of the time, my hedgehogs just lick me.

Because they are cute and also because they are not rodents. I don’t like rodents (even hamsters)
