What do hedgehogs HATE?

Quilly hates:

Baths, being held too long, his little stuffed rabbit toy, me moving his cage around randomly, and...well I can't think of much else right now.

:lol:

He doesn't like to be held. He runs all over the place a I can never snap a picture of him! I still hold him I have this HUGE playpen ( big enough for a 15 year old to fit in) we go in together and play

Medicine!

Cholla hates baths & nail clipping.
Zoey hates baths & being touched (but we're working on that).

Daisy Mae does not like to sit still. LOL
Cocoa Marie does not like to be put down to play she would rather be held.

Igor hates:

- Fruits
- Veggies
- Bright light

Forgot to add, Herc also hates it when you sniffle if you're holding him, or the "shhhh" sound, it turns him into a big angry ball of quills!

Even though Daisy has only been with me 4 days now, there is one thing I've quickly learned she does not like.

Any hissing sound, like telling her to shhhhhh it's alright, that does not make her feel alright it makes her huff and pop right back, as does the sound of an aerosol can, hahah. I sprayed her wheel with some sort of cooking spray to lube it and she was very angry with that. HAHAh.

Haha :lol:

They're so fussy, aren't they?

Col. Mustard hates baths, veggies and being outside.

Quinn hates hedgehog food (good thing I found out its such crap, he won't go near the stuff), baths, being woken up, being touched while he's eating, kissing noises (always make him pull his eyebrow quills down), and when men with deep voices make hard consonant sounds (p or t sounds specifically) or laugh.

Lily's dislikes:
- being woken up (it's only marginally better when I'm doing it versus someone else)
- lanolin (I tried to put some on her ears once. She threw the biggest temper tantrum I've ever seen out of her! :lol: )
- hissing sounds or shhh-ing sounds
- loud noises or music (especially when she's trying to sleep)
- baths!
- being touched on her sides or stomach (though she'll let me kiss her cheek/neck area where she has fur)
- being held on her back for any reason
- being outside

My little princess has a lot of things she doesn't like! :lol: I'm lucky she's not too opposed to nail clipping as long as I don't try to do too many at once.

Freek Dislikes:
-me trying to put him back in his cage when hes obviously having bunches of fun in his play pen.
-nail clipping

I lucked out and have a very easy going hedgie! Who loves most things, he even goes camping with us all summer

Lilysmommy, you reminded me (biggest temper tantrum) - Cholla HATES, HATES the vet. But surprisingly, Zoey did great!

Quigley is another one that hates hissing noises and hard consonant sounds. He also hates the sound of rolling dice, keys jangling or any other clinking plastic/metallic sounds (the elevator in our old apartment building was what he hated most). He hates baths, nail trims, his ears being touched and he hates when walks last too long (he loves it at first but when he decides it's over it had better be over).

Inky is pretty tolerant but he *hates* having his ears touched, and also the smell of carnations. No other flowers bother him, but get a carnation anywhere near him and he freaks out.

Pixie hates
- when I wake her up for no reason(I check up on her during the day,remove the fleece and the hissing begins!)
- when I tell her that she can't explore somewhere(because she might fall down)
- sitting still for just one minute (run run run,explore explore explore!!!)

My guys seem to follow the general common hatreds...

Hester Sue
- Being disturbed on her wheel, she starts hissing and clicking if I get even near the cage.
- Eggs, I offered it to her once, she literally snorted in them got on her wheel and did a "I'm Mad" type of run.
- Being touched, been working on it but she is just not down with being touched, she'll come out of her ball quick enough but hates being touched.

Loki
- LIGHT (hisses)
- Being woken up or disturbed, its the only time he really hisses and clicks at me.
- Having the edge of his skirt touched or anywhere near the head.

Phinneus:
-Baths
-Nail trimming
-Fruits and Veggies
...And lately, every other night or so, me! I can't figure it out. Tonight is a hate night
