Hedgehogs

A hedgehog is often associated with energy, vitality, fertility, intuition, protection, perception, intelligence, and resourcefulness. In Asia, hedgehogs with associated with agricultural abundance, fertility, and fire. Since it is nocturnal, the hedgehog also symbolizes intuition, psychic ability, and prophetic dreams and visions. Native Americans attributed the hedgehog with ressurection due to its resistance to snake venom. The Greeks and Romans associated the hedgehog with intelligence.

Getting domesticated hedgehogs pregnant is hard business - they only conceive about 50% or LESS of the time, and they cannot be bred until 6 months and are unfertile at 3 years old. They can only have 3 litters a year at best... and best doesn't happen too often.

Assuming the best of circumstances, you might get 7-8 litters from one female.

The first few litters have 1-2 hoglets, the middle litters typically have 3-4, and as she gets older, her litter sizes will decrease back down to one or two.

So, best case scenario, you might get 24 babies from her - and there is no guarantee they will all make it, or that she will be a good mother.

As for wild hedgehogs, the number varies widely depending on species, how old they get, and how healthy they are.

Turtles have a very slow heart beat rate. While there are many types of turtles most turtles have a heart rate of 20 times per minute.

idk really but i saw a video and it looked like the hedgehogs were pushing each other around a lot with their faces, particularly their noses

In order for hedgehogs to survive, their cage temperatures have to be heated to at least 23.33 degrees Celsius (74 degrees Fahrenheit) and maintained between 23.88 and 24.44 degrees Celsius (75 and 76 degrees Fahrenheit). Lower temperatures may make hedgehogs try to go into hibernation. Cages always should have at least one thermometer, preferably two.

hedgehogs have ears...

This is a bit of a misleading answer as yes hedgehogs have small holes, which is how they hear but they don't have big floppy ears.

If you see a picture of a hedgehog with floppy ears it is a dog dressed in a hedgehog costume.

Hedgehogs, like all mammals, are born by live birth. They are born in litters and have quills at birth. Each is about the size of a quarter and looks basically like a baby mouse with little white quills on it.

Hedgehogs move fast for their size but slow in comparison to larger animals. The hedgehogs round body, short legs and delicate paws are better suited for digging around and exploring their immediate area... they are not known for moving great distances unless they are under pressure to locate food or relocate their burrow.

A monkey would be considered an exotic pet. Anyone who wants an exotic pet should first look up their particular state's law regarding exotic pets. Some exotics are banned in some states and others have limitations and requirements that have to be met. See related links for a map of the US states classified by primate regulations.

Once that's done you need to research the particular monkey that you are looking to buy. Pygmy Marmosets have very specific dietary needs and many a pet marmoset has died because their owner didn't know they require a high amount of vitamin D3. You also need to know that Pygmy Marmosets have teeth specifically made to gouge bark and they may be destructive to wood. They also pee and poop on their paws because, in the wild, it affords them better a grip. They make high pitched noises meant to carry over long distances, they have have a strong scent, and require a high perched secure spot with soft fuzzy things to cuddle up with for sleeping. They are also prone to becoming aggressive once they reach sexual maturity and will likely bite and claw. They live some 16 to 20 years, so you would be making a very long term commitment. You'd also want to make sure that your local vet cares for exotics or find one who does.

If you've done all the research and still think the Pygmy Marmoset is the pet for you, then you have the unenviable task of finding a reputable breeder. There are quite a few websites out there with primate breeders looking to sell monkeys, all you have to do is run a search on any search engine to find a slew of them, but if you want to find a good breeder, your best bet is to ask a vet or someone who has previously purchased one.

Yes. Hedgehogs use scent as a way of defining people. If you have a pet hedgehog, wearing gloves will only confuse him. If you put an old, worn shirt in the cage, your hedgehog will "nest" with it and become more familiar with your scent, resulting in your hedgehog to become more friendly.

No, hippos are part of family Hippopotamidae, which includes hippos and pygmy hippos. Pigs belong to family Suidae, along with warthogs and babirusas. Both families, however, are part of Order Artiodactyla.

small sharp ones.

No, probably not. But if you already have AIDS, some of the infections transmitted by hedgehogs can further weaken your immune system. And even if you are healthy, owning an exotic pet can have a number of risks. You can get numerous diseases from these animals, and some of the diseases can be very serious in humans. Hedgehogs can transmit both bacterial and microbial infections. They are especially known for giving humans Salmonella, as well as giving them some fungal and viral diseases.

It is unlikely, but in theory any animal might carry a disease that could be harmful to humans.

At a rate of 200 to 300 beats per minute, the total for an hour would be 12000 to 15000 beats.

they are kind of a mixure between porqumines and mice. when they are born they are all pink and ugly looking like a mouse but when the mature they resemble a poqupine but smaller like a mouse.

It is not illegal to own hedgehogs in New Jersey. However, you will have to obtain a permit. The cost for the permit is ten dollars per year.

Yes. An adult hedgehog typically has anywhere near 6,000 quills.

However, these are much different from Porcupine quills. While they are still modified hairs, hedgehog quills are not barbed, venomous, nor can they be projected at a victim.

looks like a cute little hamster with spikes like a porcupine on its back

Pet hedgehogs of the "African Pygmy" version should be kept warm, preferably in the 72-75 degrees F range. They also should be provided with a solid floor exercise wheel and a single story cage.
