    RIP Harriet 🕊️

    You were such a special little pet. I’ll never forget you. Thanks for being weird and always making me laugh with your funny hedgehog quirks. You were a grumpy soul, but that’s just in your nature. And it made you all the more special ❤️

    Does it hurt if you just grab her?

    Does it hurt if you just grab her?

    Only if she is in defense mode (“spiked up”)

    Even then, it’s just a little prickly. Nothing too crazy!

    When she’s calm they just feel like if you were petting a plastic hairbrush or something for lack of a better way to put it

    Nope! I have heard that some hedgehogs can recognize their owners voices though, and seem to “calm down” when hearing them

    Most recognize their owners by scent though. In the case with my hedgehog, when I start to wake her up in her cage she gets very stressed and spikes up, but once she smells my hands and recognizes it’s just me and not some predator, she calms down and relaxes, and starts to wake up and eat

    They are very timid, scared animals so it takes a lot of work to get them to warm up to you

    Hedgehogs do this thing called “self anointing”

    Basically, when they smell a new scent they enjoy, they start to bite/lick at the source of it, then foam at the mouth and lick themselves getting the foam all over them

    No ones sure why they do it. Some think it’s because they enjoy the scent and want to smell like it, others think that it’s a defense mechanism, used to mask their scent from potential predators.

    Either way, it’s pretty cute

    Here’s a gif of her doing it after I washed her favorite blanket

    what does she eat?

    They can eat various things, however their main diet needs a specific kind of protein. Some people say you can feed them cat food, but idk how many people actually feed them that.
    Mine eats these protein pellets specifically made for hedgehogs.

    For snacks, they also like to eat meal worms, eggs, fruit, and other various things like that

    Mine will only eat mealworms though and she seems to hate fruit
