Hello Everyone!

I'm a new Hedgehog mom. Last week I welcomed 10 week old Thorin to my home. He is named after the dwarf Thorin from The Hobbit because he's stubborn, adventurous, and cute!

He's warmed up to me a little bit. He's let me hold him twice, and he will lay on my stomach under one of my dirty t-shirts for hours so he can adapt to my scent. We still have a long way to go but I have a feeling he should be more comfortable with me within a month or two.

I don't have many friends that have hedgehogs, but I read the forums on here often when I have questions.

Congrats, and welcome to the forums! Thorin is oh so cute. Good luck with your new baby!

Hi there!

Thorin is adorable!

My hedge was also a bit huffy when I first brought her home. But after a few months of regular handling, she has become the sweetest little thing ever! She rarely huffs at me and rarely balls up.

Just make the play times fun, comfortable, and enjoyable!

You should post more photos of him. From what I can see, he's adorable! Good luck to you both. [=
