  7. Hedgehog Personality and Behaviour
    So Nala is just 2 months and 2 weeks right now and I've only had her for a week.

I usually just put her...

    I just get my first hedgehog three days ago and we're working on bonding slowly. Right now it's actually the dog she seems least afraid of, feeling isn't mutual though. She's in a large cage in my living room right now because it's the place we can best control the light and temperature during...
