Well here's my 10 tips for you guys!
1.Make sure you set up everything before purchasing a hedgehog
2.The cage should be 18x24,well ventilated and well secured
3.Hedgehogs hate loud noises
4.Hedgehogs need lots of exercise so buy a hedgehog wheel and lots of toys
5.Ofer your pet soft fruits like bananas, melon and berries. For vegetables, include cooked sweet potatoes, lettuce and other greens. You may offer a hedgehog small pieces of cooked meat, but do not feed more than 1 ounce of meat per day,mealworms and silkworms can also
6.Wash your pet with warm water and a soft toothbrush and brush it until clean
7.Prepare for shedding except their quills will be shedding,so be careful for their quills are sharp
8.Play with your pet everyday so he/she doesn't get lonely
9.NEVER FEED IT:Nuts/seeds, Dried fruits, Raw Meat, hard uncooked vegetables, Sticky/stringy/hard foods, Avocado, Grapes or Raisins, Hedgehog food, Milk, Wild caught insects, Alcohol, Bread, Celery, Onion and onion powder, Raw carrots, Tomatoes, Human junk food (chips, candy, anything really sugary, salty, etc.), anything very acidic or Honey.
10.Hedgehogs like warm areas have your house at least 22 degrees celcius
Time for bonus fact of the day!
As they move through the hedges looking for worms and insects, they make a piggy grunting noise. Hence, hedge-hog.
