This is from an ad a pet store in my city is running:
"Hedgehogs are peaceful and humorous by nature, and readily lend themselves to just about anyone's lifestyle and schedule. Unlike hamsters, Guinea Pigs and other small rodents, pet hedgehogs do not give off any appreciable odor and they are easily litter trained." It just makes me so sad how many people are going to impulsively buy these little guys thinking they're suitable to any lifestyle and schedule... and assume they're all easy to litter train! At least they don't say they're great pets for kids, but still... sigh. It just makes me sad and I wanted to share with people who actually understand.

Wow. Are THEY ever grossly misinformed. Hedgehogs can stink horribly sometimes, and they certainly aren't easy to litter train.
Let me guess, this was a PetSmart, right?

The manager would probably just get huffy with you and kick you out of the store, if the pet store owner really cared, then he would have worded the ad differently, not claimed they don't stink or can easily be litter trained, I'm actually suprised he'd print the litter training part, because you'd think people would complain after a couple of weeks of being unable to get them to use the litter. Even so, I'd probably still go hand him a sheet, then go stand outside his store and hand fact sheets to people.
Sad world we live in, anything for a buck, even the health and life of a pet.
