Didn't your mother say the same about you?

Thank you I thought of him as I listened to it in the car the other day. He is a little wonder.
I went shopping last night for him...

So tell me....is it too much? Am I certifiable yet?



Yes, he has his own private playground. I plan to add more toys soon.


I've read though they have poor eyesight, they do like bright colors...so emphasis on bright!


And according to the same book, many love those plastic toy trucks. They like to climb on them, push them around, and knock them over.


He got dumped by the dump truck

That is so much fun!!!

Awww! He's too cute!

^^ Is that a cat eying him?

Man that topic title threw me way off.

Cool that you got a hedgehog. We use to have one too one from Africa I believe. It was my older sister's but my father and I end up taking care of it most of the time.

When it died in December, we couldn't buried it since the land was hard and frozen so we kept it in our freezer. We forgot about it and ended up having him in the freezer for over 4 years....

I eventually buried it lol.

Satin already had a run in with him, so she watches from afar....Hairless cats and hedgehogs do not make good bedfellows. Satin was sleeping in my blanket on my bed, and I was laying on the bed with Fulci wandering on it. He went under the blanket and it was like WWIII. Hairless cat screams, jumps a good 3 feet straight up in the air...somehow, the hedgehog followed her into the air, they both landed on the floor. Satin has some small scratches on her thigh from the quills. Fulci came out of it fine, but really pissed off, Satin keeps her distance now. I'm not sure if it was an accident or Fulci nipped her, but once I knew everyone was ok, I about died laughing.

And yes, Fulci is an African pygmy hedgehog. Its rare to find any other species of hedgehog as a pet. And they African pygmies make the best pets because they have been bred in captivity the longest. Many consider them domesticated. Having owned or been around a variety of domestic and exotic pets, I'd say its a safe bet to consider them domesticated. They could survive on their own like a cat, but like a cat, they do enjoy human companionship and the major sign of domestication is of course the colors. Once domestication begins to take place, new color patterns and shapes emerge. I've seen hedgehogs with the classic face and others, like Fulci, who's noses and faces are shaped differently.

They aren't a pet for everyone. You can't be afraid of the quills, you gotta suck it up and hold them, otherwise, they aren't going to be very social. I hold him a lot more now when he is all quilled out, it hurts, a bit, but its tolerable and he calms down faster in my bare hands than in a towel.

I made a video of Fulci too: http://www.livevideo.com/video/EF5E25D4 ... onder.aspx
