So I picked up a hedgehog a couple days ago from a friend who was at school and didn't have as much time for the hedgehog as he thought he would. He is very shy and scared, so I try to handle him and lay around with him so he can get used to me. For right now, I'm using gloves to pick him up because he huffs a lot and sometimes his quills will pierce through the gloves and get me, so I can only imagine what it would be like with out the gloves. So I'm trying to do some reading to find the best practices to get them to open up.
Also, I've got a cage with a wheel in it, and the only time he runs in it is between 3-5 in the morning. I've got a ferret caged in the same room with me, along with the hedgie, and the running keeps both the ferret and me up. Are there any ways to try and switch his running habit from 3-5 in the morning to 3-5 in the afternoon? Thanks for any help.
