Ever since the first day we brought Rocko home, he has been the sweetest hedgehog. I've never seen him roll completely into a ball, not even the very first day. He huffs a little when we first go to pick him up, but then he relaxes and lets us pick him up with his quills down and everything.
Today, I woke up and went to say good morning to him, and he freaked out! He balled up and huffed and popped and hissed at me like nobody's business. Even after I put him back down, he stayed balled up and was hissing for quite some time. I offered him some meal worms to make him feel better, and he wouldn't eat them. Now he has finally unballed and is exploring around me, but still won't eat the meal worms, which he normally goes crazy for. He's also walking around with his quills like half up.
This is really unlike him. Rocko is a complete sweetheart. We haven't changed anything that would stress him out. Hedgedaddy did take him on a trip to visit some family. He got home about two days ago, but we have taken him on trips before and he was fine. I just don't understand.
