Check out what I got for Christmas

Well I have been eyeing these up for some time now, did a ton of research on them and discovered that this would be my next pet, well I was able to get one for christmas from my wife, and she even let me get it early. He is the cutest thing and has finaly started calming down and warming up to me when I have him out or around his cage.

Hedgies are cool. My cousin has one but she's very shy and jumpy and curls up and growls when you try to pet her.

Yours is very pretty.. I love the piebald ones.

Wow !! Very cool ! :)

Awwh! I've been so tempted by hedgepiggies, but they're illegal in AZ :P

they are sooooooo cute!!! i looove hedgies.

OK.....


I'll ask the obvious question here....

Did you name him Sonic? :P :P :P

Just teasing, what a cutie!!

Out of curiosity, Medusa, why are they banned in AZ?

Arizona is somewhat open to doubt as to its status. It appears that given
the right forms of registration, keeping hedgehogs is possible, though this
level of registration may be very difficult to obtain. Here are some
`clarifications' on the situation:

The restrictions in AZ are rather bizarre. A.P. hedgehogs are
``officially'' legal, but F&G doesn't want them there. So, to get
around the rules, they say that hedgehogs ``are'' legal if you can
first meet certain housing and other requirements. The requirements
that they stipulate are virtually impossible for even large, accredited
zoos to meet, so the chances of the average Joe being able to keep
hedgehogs as pets in AZ are virtually nil.

Check AZ of the list of places to ever consider living, Thanks guys I love the little bugger, and no he didnt get sonic as his name hehe. I still have yet to name him as nothing I have come up with seems to fit him.

heheh- I grew up in AZ and had a hedge hog, hmm, did not know they were illegal all the time I had it until this post got me to really looking.


You know Sean, I have been thinking about names all morning.....


how about Calvin? hehhee, I think he looks like a Calvin.

Yeah, what Jeanne said. AZ is weird. :disbelief Which is why my whole family has their eye on Oregon. Well... not because of hedgies specifically, but... yeah. *babbles cuz she needs a nap* Regardless... cute hedgepiggie!

Here's a real handy name site that you might find helpful! I recommend it to anybody who's stumped for a pet or character name. Names galore!
