Hedgehogs

yes they can

Some of the best food to put out for the hedgehogs in your garden is tinned dog food, but a word of advice. If you do this you will have to keep on doing this as they may become dependent on what you put out for them for a large proportion of their diet.

Don't panic. Hedgehogs' quills are not venomous, and their quills are not barbed. Their quills can, however, harbor bacteria.

Simply wash the site, and watch it closely. If any signs of infection become aware, go to your doctor.

Yes and no depending on the type of paint you use paints such as oil based ,acrylic ,latex and lead paints should not be used. safe paints such as milk paint or even food coloring are safe.

Modern erinaceids are split into two quite distinct subgroups, the spiny hedgehogs (subfamily Erinaceinae) and the soft-furred gymnures (known most correctly as subfamily Hylomyinae, but also often referred to as Echinosorinae or Galericinae). Within the hedgehogs there are 14 species in five well-described genera. The taxonomy of the gymnures is rather less clear-cut. There are seven species, including the long-eared lesser gymnure (Hylomys megalotis), which was described in 2002. Prior to 1991, there were five recognized genera, but Neohylomys and Neotetracus have since been reclassified as subgenera of Hylomys. As of 2002, Hylomys is the largest genus in the family with five species, but these are highly variable and the expectation is that further revisions will come.

What are bad?

* Cars * Roads * Humans * Badgers * Foxes * Fox urine What would be good for them?

* More insects, snails, frogs, toads, snakes, bird eggs, mushrooms, berries, melons and water melons. * Less concrete, houses and roads - more grassland and forests.

Not very good at all.

Yes, hedgehogs are legal in Indiana. Hedgehogs are only illegal in the states of Arizona (without permits), California, Georgia (with the exception of licensed breeders), Hawaii, Maine, and Pennsylvania.

yes, uncle bill's pet shop do sell hedgehogs. I have sold my hedgehog babies to them.

This can vary largely, depending on how much your hedgehog eats and what kind of food you're buying.

The food you should be buying your hedgehog will certainly be more expensive. Do not feed your hedgehog foods with processed items, such as meal. Go for organic, all natural, and hollistic foods.

Every hedgehog is individual, and they will eat 1-2 tablespoons a night. Some hedgehogs need more, some need less - depending on how they keep weight on and how active they are.

Antisocial behavior is not normally treated with antidepressants.

Most hedgehogs are wild in the ground and they come out of the ground in the spring.So if you find them its most likley to be wild.I owned them for 2 or 3 mounths and the mom died i guess so i took them and i kept them and now there free!

Hedgehogs have baths in order to keep their quills clean and free of shavings, dirt, and feces.

Hedgehogs need exercise to stay healthy! This is the main reason why one should be added to the cage.

But hedgehogs do it for the enrichment. Their caged life is quite dull, and in the wild, they would walk miles every night in search of food, water, and shelter.

If 600ml of liquid is released at 20ml per 40 minutes it will be completely gone in 20 hours.

600/20 = 30 drops

30 drops * 40 minutes = 1200 minutes

1200/60 = 20 hours

Hedgehogs are an omnivorous consumer in which they eat both meats and greens. A normal diet for a hedgehog might include a variety of insects, frogs, snakes, berries, and melons. They look for food that has high amounts of fat and sugar in order to keep their body type maintained.

Yes you can. There are no laws that the state has against owning hedgehogs.

they do live in burrows

Yes, babies (hoglets) suckle.

They sleep for roughly most of the day and wake up around 5-6pm. Then they stay awake for about 2 hours, sleep for about 3 hours and then wake up for about 4-5 hours. Then the cycle starts again. However, mine changes it's sleep pattern all the time.

They should never hibernate they are to small to live of body and will most likely die if the conditions are to cold they will go in to hibernation which they should NEVER do

No. Neither rats or hedgehogs burrow.

many species are wild, however some species are kept as pets and have similar setups to hamsters and rats etc. so to answer your question YES.

When a male is around the female, he will begin to squeal and chase her. She will refuse for him to mate her, while spitting, hissing, butting heads, etc. After this has went on long enough, she will submit, flatten on the ground, lower her quills, and then push her rump up for him to mate her. He does the deed, then it is over.
