Shamrock is our sweet little "foster" hedgehog who we got
totaly by chance. I was e-mailed by a lady who longer wanted
him and asked if I would like a free hedgehog, she didn't
say much else, I was naturaly curious and called up to find
out some detials, she said he was male, didn't have a name
he was called "You"), that he'd been living in a hamster
cage and then a storage bin (which I never saw). When we
finnaly desided it would be best to take a look and him and
give him a home if need be, we went to vist. We had
explaned to the lady that we where only looking and not
desided, but when we got there she had he all packed to go.
All Sham had was one box of kitten food and the shaving in
a box she had bought him in about 4-5 months earlier. I
asked if I could have his bowls, and she had none. Sham was
EXTREMLY small and thin, had never seen a mealworm (didn't
know what to do with them) and had nothing, not even a name.
We took Sham home and put him in a rabbit cage that I borrowed
from work and gave him a few things (bowls, log, toy balls,
a make-shift bed), he was happy!! Sham is still a bit thin
and has very serious ragged ears (being treated for) but is
other wise doing great! Shamrock is about 7 months
old , we got him in early March. He is a sweet fast
friendly salt and pepper hedgehog, still very small but much
better. His former owner seemed to have known little about
hedgehogs, and the care sheet she had gotten with Sham had
many mistakes and lack of information. I do believe Shamrock
is happy now, he is a little scared of being held but doesn't
mind being pet. Shamrock is only in our care temporarly
until he is well enough to get his oun home (with my fiancee
's mother Danielle who owns Mirrah the turtle)

Cesille is a salt and peper africian hedgehog, she is very friendly, she uncurls quickly when I pick her up but she can`t stay still for a moment!! Cesi still has her quills "criss crossed" when I hold her most of the time but she lays them flat when she is runing around us. She LOVES her meal worms and licks them up like a vaccum! I am so happy with her personality! She loves anything that is red and always likes tubes (cardboard ones that have been cut to keep her from getting her face stuck (this happened)) and blankets to borrow under. Cesille also loves to push her ball and other play things around in her cage.
Cesille gets along with the cats, (only contact is when she is out
with us) and runs up to sniff them, the cats are rather curious but are
afraid of her, and April normaly runs away if Cesi chases her :). She is a
wonderful pet and I`m glad I got a hedgehog rather then a dog (my other
chose). She loves to have her play time at 7:30 where she runs around at
speeds of 100 miles per hour ! After play time she gets up at about 10pm
until 3 or 4 am in her cage,it always looks like a tornado when through it!
She is almost 100% litter trained and is very clean (not counting the fact
she leaves her toys all over...hehe).
Cesille loves popcorn, cream cheese (small amount once in a while, too much is bad for hedgies), bacon
lettus (she just chews on it really) and of course, Meal Worms (part of her
regular diet)! I have been trying other treats but she is a very picky
Hedgie, perfering meal worms over any other treat, if you have a treat suggestion
please let me know. I resentaly saw Cesille self-anoint! It was very neat,
but when she saw we where looking at her she stoped :< . Cesi loves the ctas,
and is always trying to run up to them, I babysat some kittens a while back
and Cesi played with them (she ran around and they chased her, then
she would chase them, all the time she made little happy
"grunting" and "snuffling" sounds!) I love my little prickly ball very
much, she has just started to become more cuddly, and ever licked my toes
(I don't know if that is a good sign :) )
I think the Hedgehog are one of
the best pets, exepcialy if you work all day. Hedgehogs require lots of care but
it is not very difficult, it is even easier then taking care of a small
![[Dovanin and Cesille]](http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ranch/7821/doni06.jpg)
dog. You do have to take your Hedgie out for "walks" around the house
each night, and handle them alwell, plus making sure they have lots
of things to do so they don't get bored (and of course all the basics,
freash water, food, clean cage and litter, etc.)
Cesille is
a very priticular hedgie, she doesn't like many of the "treats" most hedgies
seem too, but she is very friendly, she is always happily snuffling, and I
have heard her "purring" mnay times, Hedgehog purring is the most wonderful
sound! it's not at all like my cats!!
