My male hedgehog Sonic (original right?) has started doing a weird behavior....
he like tucks under and if i look under him i can see his wiener poking out onto his chin...
I hope i don't get banned or something because of posting this question cuz it really is a legitimate question.
Here's a youtube video of someone who recorded their hedgehog doing the gesture:

I hope Sonic isn't sick or something....

It's normal behavior for many male hedgies.
So if you ever pick him up and his tummy is wet, you'll know what he's been doing.

I remember picking up Damian whilst he was in the middle of... well. I don't know who was more embarrassed! :lol:

I have 5 males and they all do it differently! Some hump the air, some go down and do it them selves I have one that HAS to be in his tissue box another in his litter box and another that uses his stuffed animal.

No worries your hedgie is completely normal..

-Sebian- I some how catch Aero everyday doing his business by picking him up! He changes how he does it so often I cant keep up. Now that he has had surgery and cant have a wheel or anything else that may cause him to pop his stitches, he is doing it more often than now. Boys will be boys :roll:

Perfectly normal... Inky quite prefers the couch:

(Hopes I'm not banned for this either- I'll remove it if it's inappropriate :lol: )

 

[Gnarly]

:lol: at Inky being caught on camera. That picture is hilarious.

LG: it appears that we may have the exact same couch....at least it's the same fabric.

Maybe he's just 'dancing' to the tunes of Boogie Boogie Hedgehog!

It seems like the ONLY time I've ever seen Pepper do it is while I'm holding him :? I'm hoping that he's just more relaxed when im holding him and that he doesnt get turned on by me :? now THAT would be creepy :lol:

 

[numothehedgehog]

Hahah yeah its normal

WOW INKY :lol:

 

[LizardGirl]

LOL... I turn around for a second, and he's up and at 'em. Boys will be boys... :roll:

Of course he's just dancing! Couldn't you tell?

 

[sebian]

My eyes! :lol: Inky will pose for the camera ANY TIME it's hilarious. That little boy has no shame :lol:

Here's a youtube video of someone who recorded their hedgehog doing the gesture:

Good gosh; that looks huge! Is that normal size for a male hedgie?

 

[Tristen]

:shock: LG that couch looks just like mine too...

For the sake of being on topic I've never caught Pokey doing such a thing although this isn't the first topic I've seen about it.

 

[LizardGirl]

LG that couch looks just like mine too...

LG: it appears that we may have the exact same couch....at least it's the same fabric.

LOL, I can guarantee that it is not yours. :lol: Inky has claimed it!

 

[jayberrylee]

My hedgie Fabio does the same thing, when i first got him he rolled on his side to do his boy thing. I think all boy hedgies do it its just how boys are.

 

[JessAOII]

How old are they when they start this? Our baby is only a few months old.

 

[HedgieNewbie]

Ha yeah. I was just laying there on my bed and had my hedgie columbus in his little bed next to me, and I look down to quite a surprise his erm. thing staring me right in the face. :? I was like whoaa budy please keep it under you k? Yeah for some reason my guy has taken to doing this while outside of his cage. hmf. :roll:

 

[payge]

one of mine...does it EVERY time he is out of his house... on my lap...on my shirt.. the first time i saw it i was rather upset..i didnt realize how...ummm...big they were that they could lick them...sorry it that is to much for anyone...
and i think i have the same couch also!!! except mine definitely has been claimed by both hedgie and Liam.

 

[ten_ten]

How often do they do this?
