Yeah, she's an African Pygmy Hedgehog Unfortunately it's the kind of pet that people buy on a whim, have for a few months whilst it's novel then neglect... The breeder I bought her off asks you to sign a contract (I shit you not) when take it so she knows it'll be looked after properly Live Forever or Die Trying
Do they take a lot of looking After? Do they like to be petted? I'm guessing she doesn't sleep in bed with you Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk
I've got A barking westie 3 Boring fish And my giant African land snail my favourite ( did have two but they were so tiny when I first got them that I think I threw one out by accident, must of been stuck on lettuce. Gutted) Damon hates them, so they are my favorite Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Difficult to answer that as it's hard to know what to compare it with. I'd guess it's similar to a rabbit or guinea pig... Hedgehogs are however nocturnal, so only interact with her just before we go to bed She has her vivarium set up with blankets and a heat Mat at one end (which they naturally never poo or wee, she keeps that relatively clean), then food and water, then finally her running wheel (like a big hamster wheel) and kitchen roll as her toilet She needs cleaning out fairly regularly or obviously she'd get smelly, her diet is basically cat food, live meal worms and some cat treats... Don't feed them milk She's fine with me handling her, she is ok once she's smelt my hand as I have handled her every day since I got her, but she takes a bit of convincing if she doesn't know someone When she's relaxed all her quills (spikes) lay flat in the same direction and you can stroke her, but if she balls up in defence she's extremely sharp - you can't pick her up bare hands if she's like that (but again, she's used to me so doesn't do it unless there is an unexpected noise etc) You've just gotta spend time, like with any animal I guess Live Forever or Die Trying

Cat Spam Incoming... These are their actual names. "Massive Jims" - He weighs in @ just over 1 stone and spends his time giving zero fucks. "Special Genie" - The only thing that goes on in his peahead is the Magic Roundabout theme tune. "King Fake Genie of The Sofa" - He moved into our old sofa in the back yard during the winter 2 1/2 years ago... Then he moved into the house... "Dylan SupaCat" - 16/17y/o, proper little hitler. I have never known a cat to have so many facial expressions... And the day back in Oct. 2011 when we realised we had not 3 cats but 4...
Bit of a late addition, but 4 horses, 2 dogs and in the past a raven, yes...a raven...:finger: wasnt strictly speaking a pet, but it wouldnt leave me alone for 3 years, followed me indoors as well
Yeppers. This is the tale, I posted it on another forum a while back. Last year we bought a new sofa and the old one was in the backyard for a few weeks. This little black cat arrived from nowhere and started living in there. He soon realised he looked just like one of our other cats, Genie, and started to sneak in for a munch and a warm but when he spotted us looking at him he would leg it. The weather started to get cold, really cold. Not a problem for this moggy though, he started sleeping underneath the spare bed upstairs. He still didn't like to be picked up, touched or even being close to a human. Plastic bags scared him, doors scared him, light switches scared him, pretty everything scared him to the point he would want to run out the house. His eye was all gunked up so we took him to the vets, got some ointment and scanned him for an ID chip. There was no ID chip. Nice £70 there :/ A year has passed since he first showed up. He licks my leg while I'm having a pee... Loves to have cuddles on the sofa. I remember the first time he jumped up on the sofa while me and my other half were chilling, he started padding on the blanket and purring like mad. "BEST DAY EVER!" Is what I imagined was going through his head. He has definitely become one of the family and goes by the name "King Fake Genie of the Sofa", but responds to "Fakers". Cutest little cat that showed up out of nowhere. FREE CAT MOTHER FUCKERS!
