OMG!!!! So Cute!! Is she a hedgehog?? Are you meant to keep hedgehogs? how do you look after them?
I've never seen a white hedgehog before how lovely :D
 
OMG so cute! Where did you get her from? Love the name!!

she came from a friend of mine he couldnt keep her anymore due to change of cercumstances he asked me as he knew im hedgie mad this is my 4th lol
and he didnt want her to go to anyone else he could have sold her to anyone but he asked me to take her well new heggie couldnt say no to that could i ? :lol:
she is such a sweetie my not a huge fan of the albinos due to the fact they usually dont like me :? but she is so friendly and confident she chased the kitten off yesterday so funny :lol:
i just know she is going to fit in well here ;)
 
Doris is so cute and the name is fab you must keep it :love:

I know it sounds silly but what do they do? How do they interact with you and how do you pet them (if they like being petted) :?

Just really curious about them and the new craze to own them as pets

they dont do alot really you handle them play with them great fun to watch yes they love been fussed and handled they dont hurt you or spike you unless they are supprised or in a bad mood but we all get days like that
they are born with spines but they are covered with a cusion of fluid which drys up after a couple of hours they are really soft spines untill they reach 2 weeks and then ouch !!!!

Yay! I'll send you my email on a pm :) thanks :wave:
 

Awwww - look at her little face. She looks so coy looking over her shoulder like that.

I must stop looking at these hedgehog threads as I start getting all broody. I'd love a rescue one, but I know it would drive my shar-pei insane as she's a little huntress.
 
I think my OH is warming to the idea of having one of these little cuties, he is now saying "if they don't cost a fortune and we have the space you can have one" .... YAY!!
