Hedgies?

Anyone ever keep hedgehogs? My hubby and I went to the pet store and fell in love with the babies they have. I won't be buying one this time, want to gain more knowledge first, but sometime in the future.

Ive never had one as apet.
But they live wild in the veld here (We stay on a farm) And last year one decided to move in under my house.
They are adorable

I havn't owned one personally, but my friend volunteers at a petting zoo, and she says it's pretty much like having an adorable, slightly prickily hamster. You can keep it in a sterilite bin or a pretty large hamster cage, and theirs loves messing with toilet paper tubes. Hope this helped a bit. :

You'll love it corrine. They like a lot of attention and playtime
Def get one from a breeder tho. Lots of nasty things come with unkempt babies

Gina would you happen to know a good website about thier basic care? I'm having a hard time finding one. I'm also finding a lot of conflicting info on thier diet. I can definately see one in the future tho.
