i just got done from eating a bacon sandwhich and was going to open a candy bag. I had one of my hands on the candy bag and I turned to look at the movie for a sec. my hedgie Bruno was walking on the candy bag and the I felt a big romp on my finger! :shock: I looked at it and it started bleeding and I had two drops of blood coming down my finger. I put antiobiotic cream on it, claned it up and put a bandade on it. I think my hedgie bit me because my hands probably smelt like bacon. Has anyone elses hedgie drew blood?

None of mine have drawn blood, but be thankful he went for your finger and not a piece of candy and/or bacon!

Yep. Rarely though. It takes a pretty hard bite for a hedgehog to draw blood and usually they don't intend to bite that hard. The bacon smell must have been too much for him. :lol:

 

[K9_girl1994]

yeah he released right away so I know it was'nt like an aggressive bite or anything. Now he fulfills what hes always been cslled...a VAMPIRE! I put a note in my head that I should never handle him with bacon around. :lol:

I don't recall ever bleeding from a bite. But I have bled a little from a quill. My hands were nice and soft from washing dishes and she just happened to back up with a quill pointed directly at my finger and in it went. Ouch!

Neosporin and a bandaid should work just fine. And, yeah, no more bacon fingers for you!

I have never bled from a hedgie bite, though I haven't handled very many (only Inky and the ones at Hedgiepets). A rehome bit me once and held on, but it didn't bleed. Just a little bruise, that went away pretty fast.

 

[K9_girl1994]

yeah it grossed me out more than it hurt. I will defiantly wash my hands before I handle him!

hahahaha, oh yes... drawing blood...

My Oscar clamped down on my finger and began jerking his head back and forth...
it's not nice...
I put hydrogen peroxide on my finger, and nothing ever came of that bite.
They have a nasty little pair of jaws those little guys...
