Hello, I've had my hedgehog, Howie, for about five months now. He was a rescue, and I got him when he was about a year old. He's been entirely grumpy since I got him... still balls up whenever I try to hold him, talk to him, or make any sort of movement. Now, he's resorted to biting. Despite my efforts to bond with him every day using all sorts of different techniques with treats, scent, etc., I am convinced he really just doesn't want anything to do with me. Maybe this is just his personality, and I need to give up and leave him alone? Any sort of advice would help, I love my Howie to death and just want him happy, even if that means me leaving him alone.
