Oooh! Hedgehogs are great! Christian has had two of them as pets, but sadly didn't have good luck. The thing you gotta remember is to keep them warm, give them lots of room to run around, keep them away from weird smells, and give 'em fun snacks like veggies and hamburger meat. They're very, very sweet.

His first hedge had to be put down after it was discovered that he had hedgehog MS (which of course made me ask if I was going to get put to sleep like Rocky when I found out: I was assured it was not so). His second hedgehog suffered some trauma/shock after Christian moved and had to put him in a smaller space (he's still feeling crappy about that, but I think he might've been sick, as he came from a shady pet store).

Look for a reliable breeder, too. Pet stores are shady and you, too, could have a hedge with gimpy MS.
