Masturbation??

[FiaSpice]

Not only boys do that, I cought Litchi once liking herself and she was really pissed off I poke in her hedgiebag "Mom, please knock before opening, I want some privacy!"

[AAdict]

oh I have had a right giggle reading all of your stories - I have 3 boys - one is very shy and I havent seenanything with him YET guaranteed it wont be long and the other 2........WELL!!!! One takes great delight in licking himself and I have made the mistake of going to get him out in the middle and one night I thought he was having a fit and panicked - nearly fell out of bed to get to him quickly but NOPE he was just having fun with his toy mousie and my middle boy he is just the worst - I only have to call him to get him up but his favouritest trick of all times at the moment is to rub himself as he is getting up have a quick nibble and then coming to run towards me back arched and on FULL display he also rubs himself in his play pen and randomly pleasures himself when exploring men!!! cant do anything with them

Love Inky's piccie too - hahaha thats great - caught in the act!!!

Wait...are you all sure that they can really masturbate? I mean, humans do it as a means of pleasure, something fun to do. Creatures, other than humans, have to have sex because when they are going through a cycle(females) something in their brain tells them to do this. Almost as if they are doing it as a means of survival(I can't really give you the scientific reason, as I forgot it) to keep the population in exsistance. They don't really have a sense of how 'fun' sex is, it's something they were made to do.
So, with that said, masturbation is a form a self pleasure that humans do for fun, so-to-speak, so I'm confused on wether a male hedgehog is really 'masturbating' or just cleaning themselves. I know that I have walked in on my dog Miki licking himself, like how you all are describing these hedgehogs doing, but he was only giving himself a 'bath', and I believe that's what these male hedgehogs are doing.
Now, as for the male hedgehogs who are humping stuffed animals or what have you, I believe that, because I have a friend whos' chihuahua does that, but it's only around when his testosterone levels are higher, and females do this as well when they are going through a cycle. It's all because they want to relieve(or get rid of rather) that annoying 'must have sex' feeling.
Sorry to get all technical with everyone

But, aren't they just cleaning themselves? That's where it gets kind of iffy. Either way, I saw the video and it is pretty funny, not gonna lie

no they aren't just cleaning themselves, they ejaculate which wouldn't happen if it was just a grooming issue.
