My boyfriend and I got our first heggie 2 weeks ago (and from what we believe from the guy we bought her from, she is over a month old).
We did research before we got her, and were aware that hedgehogs are nocturnal. After reading a few posts on here that some people leave their heggies to sleep during the day, and socialize at night with them before they go to bed...... but our problem, is that she sleeps the entire day AND night - and when she does wake up, it is after 1am and she is active during the early morning, and by the time we get up for work {which is about 8am} she is fast asleep again. If she gets woken up during the day, she hisses and spikes up.
So how are we going to get her use to us and trust us, when the times conflict completely ????
