Hey everyone!
I'm a new hedgehog owner in need of some advice! Please help!
I recently got my hedgehog in early January. Her name is Maggie
I usually try to stick to a routine of cleaning her cage up in the morning and then going off to work school ect. When I get home around 10:30 I will make noise by putting food into her bowl and filling her food dish. She huffs and puffs when a start talking to her but kind of calms down after a little bit. When I pick her up she gets calm right away sometimes she bites me. Im not sure why she does that because she doesnt show any other signs of being afraid. So any help with that? My main problem is when I put her down on the ground she is calm and sniffs around for like a minute then runs for cover. I need help with her getting comfortable with me even more and getting her to explore!
I do normal things like have her in the sleeping bag with me while I'm doing small things. I've tried treats but really haven't found anything that she LOVES. She doesnt seem all that comfortable eating while I watch lol so thats odd but its cute at the same time.
