Hiya, I'm Debbie
I got my first hedgehog, Babumba, around a month ago now and he was 6 weeks when we brought him home!
He is quite quiet and shy, I have tried to start a routine of getting him out in the evening (I have to wake him up and get him out of his bed, he's never wondering around), however I don't feel as though he is going to bond much more than he has... Really hoping he will though!!
His cage is in the living room so I understand it may be too bright and noisy with the tv on for him to come out before I wake him.
Some days he is more confident than others, everytime I get him out he balls up and is reluctant to let me pick him up however I gently gain his trust and he will come out onto my hand with the help of his favourite foods!
He will usually eat his dinner, go to the toilet, then I'll handle him for around 30 mins to an hour. He doesn't really play but sometimes seems slightly distressed and digs and buries himself into my clothes. Other days like today he was very grumpy and didn't want to be handled at all, clambering away!
I am being very patient with him but wondered if anyone could give me any advise? He has been quilling but it seems to have nearly stopped this week so I was hoping he would be happier ?!
Thanks, look foward to hearing back!
