  • Read! This is Part II of a 2 part video that presents the pros and cons of owning a guinea pig and hedgehog. The opinions expressed in this video are based on my own personal experiences with these pets. Part II presents the pros and cons of owning a hedgehog. Watch Part I to see the pros and cons of owning a guinea pig, if you haven't done so already.
    In summary, hedgehogs make great pets for adults and more mature children since they do have quills and can be very moody. Some people adopt them thinking that they're a cuddly pet and then are disappointed to find a grumpy, hissing pet that they can't even pick up. It takes a lot of time and patience to tame a hedgehog. However, they really are fairly easy maintenance compared to other small pets. I personally think that they are fantastic pets.

    Personally, I like them being nocturnal. Once I'm done with school and homework, it's mostly dark. I got in and Mocha runs up to the bowl and I feed him, he eats, and then I pick him up and he tried to play tug-o-war with my sweatshirt or pants xD

    I'm being serious right now, and it's probably because it's late at night, but honestly I think I am the human version of a hedgehog😂grumpy, nocturnal, sensitive to cold, doesn't need an abundance of space. (Researching to buy a hedgehog RN and I feel like it's time to sleep now)😬

    C&C cages are homemade: u buy the grids and whatever u are using for the base as well as zip ties and u build it. There are several videos on CZcams on how to build one for rabbits or guinea pigs but its really the same process for a hedgehog

    I got my hedgehog a while ago, I got her for only $50 because she was older and the breeder really wanted her to get a good home so I got to talk her down to $50. I love my hedgehog so so so so so much! She is the best! I say that everyone should have one XD. She is truly the greatest pet I have never had. I love hedgehogs

    Bit surprised that hedgehog is expensive over there. I got mine only around 20$ in my local breeder, she is healthy, active and all. Of course there is one that cost 100$ too but most of the breeds in my country cost less than that.

  • @88IMRYAN88

    Hi snow drop hedgie, I need help. I have 1 guinea pig and I really am not allowed to get another one. I don't have a lot of time to hold her either, so I was wondering if I should give her up for adoption for a better home. And my mom HATES cleaning the cage. I was wondering if I do give up the piggie if a hedgie would be better for me I'm 15, if that helps you understand the situation. Thank you.

      Petstore hedgehogs tend to be more skittish/mean/bitey because they didn't get the proper care as a young hedgehog. Or the breeder didn't care for it like it was supposed to be cared for (idk if this applies to your situation, im just giving possible reasons haha)
