I got my Algernon today!!!! I must say, I'm quite smitten with him I definitely can't say the same for him, as all he has done is hiss at me, but he's had a long day, so. ON TO THE ADORABLENESS!

I found him on Hoobly; a man had had a few litters, and Algy was the only non-albino in the bunch Not that I have anything against albinos, but my mother said I wasn't allowed to own pet with red eyes, so. The man I bought him from was very nice, but the living arrangements for his animals were not the best. I quite think Algy is a bit traumatized...he was basically yanked from his mother, shoved into my hands, and he shook all the way home

BUT.

Hopefully tomorrow he will be a bit more adjusted to his new home...he's tucked away in fleece scraps right now ^.^

Beautiful colors!! He is very handsome, love the face mask and pinto spot.

What's that mushroom looking stand? That's a really cute hidey-space for him, did you make it? (green with spots on it)

Congrats on the new baby.

He's a lovely looking boy. You know that everyone on this site is going to be super envious of your mushroom hidey place, right? Have you thought about making them to sell? I'm sure you'd have a few buyers.

He's so beautiful! I love his cage set up! Give him a mealworm and a snuggle and tell him he's already an internet superstar.

 

[shetland]

He is just precious! The picture of him under the mushroom is adorable.

Hehe thank you guys...it really wasn't that hard to make! I'll post a tutorial (is that allowed?) if you want!

 

[ILOVElily]

please do

 

[Garrick]

yes please do it is very cool

Your new baby is very cute.

Just to warn though no good breeder would send a baby home straight from mom. They should be living on their own for a few days to be monitored for eating/drinking, and make sure overall they are adjusting well. Earlier you mentioned the man called him "salt and pepper", that is also a bad sign... :? Ah well.

Thank you

And...yes. I regret not going with a more well-known/established breeder; the area where he kept the hedgehogs wasn't great and the whole place reeked. I also found out that Algy hadn't been handled at all before me...so...that might be an explanation for the hissing and shaking at the slightest movement/sound? It was my fault, I should have been more thorough =/

 

[LizardGirl]

In the pictures he actually looks pretty friendly, but yes, an already well handled hedgie will huff and put his quills up far less than one with no prior human contact. (Except for some hedgies, who are friendly with everyone regardless. :roll: )
