    I bought a hedgehog this weekend. :D
    It's pretty much the coolest thing ever. :D
    I named her Isaac, but I call her Little One. :D
    She already likes me. :D
    She eats cat food and banana's.

    I'll post pictures later, she's sleeping right now. Any other hedgehog owners out there?

    You can buy hedgehogs!? Are you joking!?

    Never heard of that one before:D I love hedgies!

    My mum has them in her garden, and one year we saw them taking their babies out for their first walk late evening:)

    So, where do you buy a hedgehog from?...Isnt she all scared and balled up?

    But

    I've never even seen a wild hedgehog :eek:
    They sell them in pet stores here.
    She's very tame and friendly.
    She balls up when you pick her up, but quickly uncurls and starts exploring.
    She has a lot of energy, she runs in her wheel for hours at a time!

    A hedgehog in a running wheel? How odd:D But then you mostly see them here squished flat on roads...

    I love hedgehogs, was talking about them today. Don't know if I would have one as a pet though, rather have them in the wild.

    Hmm, hedgehogs, I hear they taste nice. Almost as nice as guinea pigs....

    You haven't? Where? Why? What did it taste like?

    Our fox once broke into my guinea pig's hutch and killed it, then couldn't get out! He soon became a friend to some in our area - would come inside the house and run upstairs! Oh and you could hand feed it!

    Goodness, you and eating pets! It's a wonder how your dog is still alive.

    I've got her curled up in a blanket next to me. I think she's pissed becuase I keep waking her up.

    I ate it in Peru, it's quite fatty, but not immediately comparable to anything else I've eaten. I ate it because it's a delicacy in many South American countries. Guinea Pigs have been reared for food by native South Americans for thousands of years. It wasn't until European colonisation that they came to be adopted as pets. Thus, I'm not eating a pet, CD, you're petting food :tongue:

    Hedghogs are very healthy animals. There is no such thing as a sick hedghog. Must be the spikes.

    If I ate it, then puked it up again, then it'd be a sick-hedgehog....

    The traditional way to cook hedgehogs is to roll them in a ball of clay and leave it in the fire. When it's done the clay will be baked hard and the spikes will come off with it, pulling the skin off as well.
