Hello everyone,

I am considering a Hedgehog but before i get more invested in the idea i need to know more about their sociability. I have heard, as I'm sure have many, that they can be nippy or not social, so i don't need information on that. I would really like people to talk about their good experiences with hedgehogs, stories about owning social affectionate sweet hedgehogs. I imagine there are limitations to how much social time they can handle so I'd like to know about that, and please any tips on how to best go about teaching them affection. Full disclosure: i am familiar with rats and the insane amount of cuddle time they give, I'm aware Hedgehogs are not that social but if i could teach it something close to that level that would be good knowledge to have.

Thanks!
