My husband and I owned 3 over a 3-6 year period. Most do make nice pets (and do not have to be caged all the time). They each had different 'personalities' and reacted to voices and touch differently. One liked to be talked to by didn't really want to be touched. The other 2 seemed to enjoy being held. Our grandchildren enjoyed them, and took one to a Hedgehog Show where he won (a bag of food) in a race with other hedgehogs. They were fun to watch, the male lived in a plastic wading pool with shavings and his toys. He really liked to push small tin cans around the area, if he bumped something (a wall) he would look around and change directions. We all enjoyed them while they lived, but they are short lived (max about 5 years) and have become so inbred that they become ill readily (our vet called them little cancer factories). Lorri

The owners are asking $200 each for them! It's a good thing I'm not interested in owning a caged animal, but dang they're cute! > > Clay > > Clay Blackwell > Lynchburg, VA, USA > > Sent from my iPad > > - > To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: > unsubscribe lace [email protected].
