So I saw an ad on CL for a free hedgie, free because his disposition isn't great.

My question would be is it possible to at 1 year socialize this guy and have him be friendly? Or is he too old to try? I do know sometimes it doesnt matter and some hedgies are happy and content without interaction.

I am really interested and the gentleman rehoming him has all his medical records and breeder paperwork.

I do want a social pet hedgehog, so what do you guys think about trying to work with him- shot in the dark?

Thanks!!!!

One year old is not that old. While chances are with patience that he'd come around, it's also likely that he will never become a very outgoing hedgie. If you put in the effort, I think you could bond well with you. If you are looking for a totally fearless, non-hissing, happy-go-lucky hedgie, I'd suggest looking elsewhere. :lol:

Thanks for the reply....the man I was emailing never responded, I can only assume he found another home.

See the little gal in my avatar? I am picking her up tomorrow, i saw a CL ad for her- they wanted to room both hedgies together however the 2 females weren't getting along. This little girl is 8 weeks old and friendly as can be.

I named her Sookie

The male from my original posting? If so- then yes no response from him.
