Well..............That all depends, on a lot of factors really.
1. Don't buy a babe iggy unless you are going to handle it daily to tame it.
2. Females are fine.
3. Males can be very hormonal......towards womens hormones (elvis doesnt have this problem,thank god) Which basically, when the're in season, and the woman, is a.ovulating or b.menstruating, they can become agressive. BUT This is ONLY with MALES and not EVERY iggy.
4.They have very sharp teeth..........but don't really bite, can do if peed off, but again elvis never has.
5. Watch out for the whip tail, which is used to attack in the wild, Elvis was a rescue, his previous owners used to hold him down on radiators, he has 2 broken toes that will never heal, but he is very trusting, he has never attempted to whip me.
The only thing that Elvis does, is cling to his bark when you lift him off it, which most Iggy's do, and i've had a few scratches from his claws.....that's it, don't let the horror stories scare you. They can honestly be very loving animals!!!:shock:
Elvis loves it when he's shedding and you peel his skin and spikes for him.....Also they are quite clean......Elvis only ever messes in his water bowl, which gets emptied down the loo, then refilled with fresh water, simple as that.
The major downside is.........................They eat
loads!!!!:shock::shock: Costs us a fortune in food, him and blue have more veggies than the entire household!!!
