Hedgehogs: A Brief Overview

Hedgehogs are undoubtedly cute. If you want a pet that will reward you with the sheer fulfillment of caring for something or someone, endless turds to manage, the most delightful yawns of all time, and 24/7 grumpiness, and then consider yourself having a hedgehog. African pygmy is the most common domesticated hedgehog among the 15 different species. They may appear to be little, but they can actually run-up to an impressive six feet per second.

Hedgehogs are nocturnal and it’s important to respect that, and not force them to be active during the day. Their eyes are subtle yet sensitive, so keep the lights dim or use red light bulbs for the better good. Hedgehogs love to run and will need a wheel in their cage. Hedgehogs use their wheels as litter boxes and they have to be cleaned often. Hedgehogs are happiest when their damp twitching nose finds a new and fascinating smell.

Fun Things About Hedgehogs

You have a hedgehog that you really love, but we still doubt if you knew the following things about this cute creature.

• Each hedgehog has around 5,000 spines each of which lasts about a year.
• Hedgehogs are not affected by adder venom.
• The first hedgehog was domesticated in 4 B.C.
• Hedgehogs are lactose intolerant.
• They love to dance.
• A hedgehog can live in many different habitats, from desert to forest and beyond.
• They weigh from 155 to 1,584 grams (5 to 56 ounces), depending on species.
• Hedgehogs can be white or light brown to black, with several shades found in bands along with their quills.
• Never mistake hedgehogs like other mammals with fur or hair that is somewhat flexible and soft. Because a hedgehog’s back is full of modified hairs or a thick layer of spikes – also called as quills. These quills are made up of the same stuff as that of our nails known as keratin.
