We got her because my daughter really wanted a pet and she is allergic to everything. Hedgehogs have hair on their bellies (not fur' date=' big diff!), but they are mostly quills. We got her from a breeder when she was about 6 weeks old.

Hedgehogs are nocturnal, and they do not like people very much, so she is not a lot of fun. They all have different personalities and she is a snuggler, so we got lucky. She likes body heat and will snuggle down in her sleep sack in your lap and snooze the time away. She will bite if aggravated, but really, her quills are worse.

I wouldn't recommend one for a child unless they are VERY mature, and very patient. There is a lot of equipment involved, and they need a constant source of heat, so there is a safety issue involved. Plus, no one really wants to babysit her because they are afraid, so she goes on vacation with us most of the time. Fortunately, we have a house at the beach, so it's not a big deal.

We love her, but I wouldn't get another. She loves my daughter best and that's just fine with me! She is VERY cute to look at, though. That's the best part.[/quote']

I will stick with my old man of a toy poodle who burps, farts, and is cranky then.

I live in CT and I'm guessing it gets too cold here to have them

We live in VA and we have a heat lamp on her 24/7/365. She has to live in an environment of 78 degrees so my hubby is unhappy that I have the heat at 74 all winter when he prefers 68. (That's a huge hedgie plus!) The heat lamp makes me nervous but my kid is now 15 and well schooled on safety.

They are very popular in Canada and most people there have multiple heat lamps in their little habitats to keep them warm. Otherwise, they will hibernate and die. :(

Hardly, I'm not the "follower" type. Quite capable of thinking for myself. Can we please leave the high school crap behind? Didn't like it then, don't need a repeat. Can we vote this topic off the island yet? Please!

Oh, I just bought a porcupine quill while I was on vacation (it cost 5 bucks) it's so pretty! I'm using it to pin my hair up into a bun :D

Prissy's quills are only about an inch long and thankfully, she can't shoot them at you.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
