Ash, I'm afraid I have to agree with the majority here. I do respect you for finding a home for Jumbie where he will get more attention, I think it's great to think of him first. But considering what faults could come up with another one, it may not be the best idea to get another one yet.
I know a while back I was tempted to get another, but I didn't want to worry about splitting time, or keeping them apart, or the worry about double the potential vet bills. Instead I spoil Inky more than you might think is possible, and it has been so rewarding. I'm also able to save up more for vet bills which I think is something many people don't do til a problem arises.
I'm afraid if I got one with a better (or worse!) personality I might start handling the other less, etc. etc. But, I might just be biased because I had a horrible nightmare about me getting another hedgehog, and Inky ended up dying. I won't go into specifics but it scared me enough to say INKY IS THE ONLY ONE!
Sorry, I got distracted... anyhow, spoil Numo out of his mind and enjoy him for what he is. Who knows, maybe later you'll find another hedgehog you just can't resist and be able to get that one. You'll be glad you didn't fill that gap earlier just because it was there.
