Hedgehogs

weigh a hedgehog and ull find out

no only the female does

No. Rodents belong to the Order "Rodentia" and the Hedgehog, of which there are about 5 Genera, belongs to the Order: Erinaceomorpha. P.S. Both Rodents and Hedgehogs are members of the Class: Mammalia, meaning they are both mammals. I hope that cleared things up for Maggay too. And hedgehogs are way way cooler

Pigs are quite adaptable. If the pig can find a stream or even a puddle in which to lie down and cool off, the animal will probably be fine. Relatives of the common domestic pig seem to do quite well in the desert. Javelina are common in the deserts of the American southwest.

Sure!! Some hedgies know their name and come when called. Some can play hide and seek. It all depends on your bond with him. The stronger, the more things you can teach him, the better he will perform them. Don't you just love hedgies!!??

For pets, it really does depend on the female.

Some females will be able to handle as many as 3 litters a year accurately spaced apart, while some will hardly be able to handle one litter a year. Never breed a female that has not fully recuperated. Proper care and nutrition help improve breeder health and longevity. Poorly bred females should never be bred.

It depends how long he's been hibernating. If you just caught it, then put him somewhere like under your shirt, somewhere warm and make sure to warm him up until he wakes up and seems active again.

If it's any later you can't wake him up and, well to put it bluntly he's going to die. I'm sorry.

YES, although if you have one as a pet they can adapt to a certain time that you wake them up.

yes hedgehogs are nocturnal. i have one he usually sleeps during the day and sometimes gets up just to get a little bit of food and some water. but right before i go to bed he gets up eats drinks and starts to run on his wheel.

It varies depending on your age and the level of activity being undertaken, your heart will obviously beat faster if you are doing something strenuos than it would do if you were relaxing reading a book.

It matters what temperature the water is at. If it is at normal, 20 degrees Celsius water, it will breath about 66 times per minute.

yes they do

the spikes are painfull if you just put your hand right on top. but if brush it in a sertain way on its side its just like a hard hair brush!!

hope you have an awesome day!!!

When a hedgehog is born, its chance of survial is slim, and most of the hedgehog population dies before they reach a year old. But a healthy hedgehog can live to be 15-25 years old, with a good food and water supply and plenty of outside exercise. the oldest recorded hedgehog age was 35.

They bite you because they are scared and they are trying to protect themselves so they don't get hurt or killed.

Hedgehogs go into hibernation, like bears in the winter. If you have a pet hedgehog, it should NOT go into hibernation, for it can lead to health problems. If your hedgehog pet is going into hibernation, stop it and warm him/her ASAP. A sign him/her might be going into hibernation is a cold belly.

Baby hedgehogs need to be fed by hand. They are able to eat baby kitten formula. The kitten milk replacer is a substitute for kittens that can't digest cow milk. Water is also an essential part in their diets.

In the U.S, there are no native hedgehog species. They must be bought from a pet store after being farm raised. The only native species are found in europe, Asia, Africa and New Zealand.

Hello! It is illegal to own hedgehogs in Arizona because their spines emit a chemical that disarms its owner and renders it helpless against its cuteness.

So. Unfortunately, you cannot own a hedgehog.

:(

Yes they can.

Hedgehogs eat insects, worms, small birds and small mammals.

They wont dig very deep, but they can burrow underneath and escape if the fence isn't deep enough into the ground.

There is the domesticated hedgehog, European type hedgehogs, African type hedgehogs, Long Eared type hedgehogs, and Desert type hedgehogs.

Each have a few species within the type, with the exception of domesticated hedgehogs. They are hybrids of two species, and considered their own "type".

A hedgehog is both an easy and a hard pet to keep. They can seem like easy pets to take care of if you ignore their cage and don't clean it, they aren't like a dog, so they won't bother you about it. But it is important you keep their cage clean, give them fresh food that is nutritious, give them a wheel in their cage (see Viki's hedgehogs) and play with them.

They will be a bit prickly at first, but they will become friendly quickly as long as you spend time with them when they are little.

Make sure you check for broken teeth, and don't let their nails grow too long, if you do decide to cut them yourself, make sure you are overly cautious about not hitting the quick. A hedgehog can loose blood quickly, which can be dangerous and if not treated properly, it can cause infection, especially with a dirty cage. Also keep an eye out to see that the skin under their quills does not become dry, when you give your hedgehog a bath, make sure you wash off all of the soap so they don't get irritated skin, and keep them warm and dry- especially their ears. Johnson's No Tear Baby shampoo is a good soap for hedgehogs.

A hedgehog is a difficult animal to keep, but if you take care of your hedgehog well and give your hedgehog plenty of attention, they are really great pets to have.
