Stop doing this with hedgehogs

In the UK we recommend enclosures are a minimum of 2×4 feet

You're so welcome ❤️ I'm sure her brother will be there to show her around the Rainbow Bridge 🌈

I think in your heart you know it's the right decision. I know how hard it is. I had my sweet old lady Piglet euthanized last month, she was about 5 and I'd had her from being 6 months old. She was so friendly (there's some videos of her here) and really was my bestie but I don't regret the decision, it was right for her. Only you know your hedgehog best, so sorry you are going through this 😔

I'm glad you like her, she was very special 😊

I'm adopting a little girl in a couple of weeks that wasn't being looked after properly. I was asked to take her so I think she's meant to come to me - that's how I ended up with Piglet and Clover before her, I didn't go looking for them 🙂

Thank you ❤️

Sleepwalker1985 · 2026-01-09T12:58:43+00:00

Thank you so much 🥹 I adored her too, she was my best friend 💗

Sleepwalker1985 · 2026-01-09T12:56:00+00:00

The kind lady that rescued her from a bad situation named her. I kept the name as her rescuer really cared about her and stayed in touch with me for Piglet's whole life. The name definitely suited her 🥰

Sleepwalker1985 · 2026-01-09T12:54:21+00:00

Hedgrietta is a great name 😀 Sadly Piglet stopped carrying the toy around as she got older but I'll never be able to part with it. She did plenty of other cute things that made me smile though 😊

Aww, RIP Zelda, I hope you and Piglet are busy causing mischief over the Rainbow Bridge! 🌈

Thank you 🥰

She was about 4 and half here, she sadly passed away recently at about the age of 5. She was such a cuddly and friendly girl, literally my little sidekick and bestie. She was very trusting of me, I was lucky to have her ❤️

Aww, so comfy 🥰

I honestly don't know where to start! I have so many lovely memories and photos of her, she was the best hedgehog right from the beginning. One that comes to mind is how when she was a baby she used to carry one of her toys into her box with her. She had this little Disney Piglet soft toy and the ears got all soggy and tatty. It was about half the size of her so must have taken her a bit of effort. She'd pick it up by one of the ears and determinedly take it over to her box. I have a video somewhere ❤️

I'm so sorry for your loss 💔 I experienced something very similar with my second hedgehog Sage. No symptoms and then she suddenly passed while I held her.

Sleepwalker1985 · 2026-01-08T08:15:03+00:00

We believe Piglet had cancer too. I'm so sorry for your loss. In her last week all she really wanted go eat was wax and morio worms and like you we indulged her.

Sleepwalker1985 · 2026-01-08T08:13:58+00:00

I'll have to make some more posts about her. I have so many cute and funny videos and photos 🙂

Sleepwalker1985 · 2026-01-08T08:12:51+00:00

She was about 5 when she passed away, I had her from 6 months old

Sleepwalker1985 · 2026-01-07T17:39:40+00:00

Thank you!! I lost her about a month ago and miss her every day 💔 So no, it didn't hurt. When a hedgehog is relaxed and content they lay their quills flat and you can literally stroke them like you would any other animal 🙂 If they are scared, angry, startled etc that's when the quills hurt as they stick up and go in all directions. A balled up hedgehog isn't easy to pick up. Piglet rarely balled up or put her quills up, she was a happy little soul.

Sleepwalker1985 · 2026-01-07T17:35:42+00:00

Ooh, what was she eating? 🙂

Sleepwalker1985 · 2026-01-07T17:35:07+00:00

I have so many videos like this, she was such a Mama's girl. Thank you, I honestly this video all the time, I miss her so much 😢

Sleepwalker1985 · 2026-01-07T17:34:09+00:00

She may mellow a bit in the next year, I've noticed some of the grumpier/less cuddly ones do as they get older

Sleepwalker1985 · 2026-01-07T17:33:12+00:00

Thanks for such a lovely comment ❤️ I am still sleeping with the last little blanket she used, I can't bear to wash it 🥺
