Buzz 502 #1 Posted July 8, 2013 My daughter has her heart set on getting a hedge hog as a pet. Her boyfriend's mother has a friend who raises them so getting one is no problem. Anyone here ever have one as a pet? She starts her senior year of high school in September then off to college next year so realistically I will be taking care of it. Any thoughts other than "are you out of your freaking mind?'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JamesBe1 82 #3 Posted July 8, 2013 "Are you out of your freaking mind" is the first thing I thought of. But I do see a lot of them as pets on the net. The little ones are pretty darn cute. Do you have any other pets that a hedgehog might not get along with? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rollerman 290 #5 Posted July 9, 2013 Just a genie pig with a spikey coat. My wife had one for a little while & let it go to another friend whom still has it. You can handle them, but there kind of a hands off pet. More novelty than practical as far as pets go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
