My spiney mice ate their water bottle the other day, even though it had a guard. So I decided to get them a new parrot toy to chew on. They love it! :D

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid79/p5e8a057c994f414d87a7d425f9f60219/fb102abe.jpg

He's also kinda fat too. He's already pushing almost 2 yrs old! :eek: Supposedly that's good for a mouse. :)

Ya and it has MY NAME!!!:eek:


When I was younger my brother always used to tease me since my name sounded like Lassie, and would always make fun of me, and whistle and then go "Hear Lassie". It drove me crazy! Then what do they do, they name this Collie with my name! :rolleyes: It will never end. :p

[Amber]

Hehehe Cute Pictures!! I have that same beanie baby collie too!!
It sits right on top of my t.v.! *Very* cute Pics!

[puppygrrl4eva7]

So adorable! I think those pics of Speedy and Flower have made me fall in love with Hedgies! I have a few questions, Don't their spikey hairs poke you? And do they bite?

[luckies4me]

Anything with teeth can bite. ;)

When I first got Speedy he bit me, he was only 4 weeks old, but it didn't hurt at all since he was so tiny. I had just eaten some fish and chips and he thought I was a yummy treat.


When I first got Flower she bit me, and she bit me the other day when I took her out. It didn't really hurt but I did feel it. But there was no blood or anything. Their bites are nothing. :p Of course I've never been agressively bit before, so I do not know how that would feel.


Yes sometimes their quills can hurt, but most of the time they are relaxed so theylay flat against the skin and pose no problem. It's nothing painful, I can stand picking them up even when they roll into a ball.......well most of the time anyway. It's just something you get used to. :)

[lovemyshiba]

AWWWWWWW!!!!

Thanks for the nudge over here to check out these pictures!!!

I just love Speedie and Flower--makes me want one even more now!!!!

Aww thanks! :D Both Speedy and Flower are very flattered.


Hedgies make great pets! They are easy to care for (as long as you have a heater in the winter), are fairly easy to feed, tame easy and don't stink. Great great pets! Even Dylan enjoys spending time with them. He thinks it's so funny when they scurry across the floor lol. He just starts laughing so hard. :p


Another good thing is that most dogs and cats leave them alone once they get a face full of quills. he he

How sweet they all are luckies4me..never met anyone who had spiney mice before..so cool they are..:D

..only had hamsters here and never had spiny mice before..although I have seen them in some rescue shelters here..and the people told me they bite alot which i think is not true..but looking at your pics of yours they look so tame..so cute..and love the hedge hogs too..:D ..cuties they all are..

Aww! I have a question, Are the Speedy and Flower pokey?

They're adorable!

Because I want to, and I can. If you have ever read any of my wildlife rescue posts you would know I am very capable of taking care of a wild mouse. There is no difference between him and mice you find in a pet shop, besides the fact that he was born in the wild.

He was caught as a tiny baby by my cat Cheetah, and since he was injured and imprinted on humans there was no way he could be released. And there is no way in hell I would release him now, he would die. He has a better home here with me, where he can be loved and spoiled, not as some cats dinner. And there is no telling whether he is wild or not, I just figured that he was since he was caught by my cat. He has always been extremely tame, has never bit, never jumped etc. and acts nothing like a wild mouse. I have rehabbed many wild mice, with minor injuries that had never been handled that were able to be released back into the wild, but Fred was different.


AND, since he is a house mouse, he is considered domestic by the Oregon Fish and Wildlife. I have had him for almost two years, and he is very happy and healthy.

[tikeyas_mom]

I didnt mean anything offensive by what I asked. I just was wondering why you had a wild mouse, no need to get all snappy about it Geeze. I think it is kinda neat, I would have done the same thing if I were you and my cat hurt a baby mouse. I have tryed to catch mice befor with no luck because my cat beet me to it. But it is cool. and he is cute.

Ok sorry! :o :) It's just that I have been asked that so many times and every time the person has something crappy to say about me, even though I saved his life.


He is the SWEETEST mouse ever!!!! :D If all mice were this sweet, I would have a ton of them. He is better than my rats!

[carole]

Your hedgies are so darn cute, we only have brown ones in NZ, not many people keep them for pets, they say they harbour many diseases, is that true? I'm not being offensive , just curious.

:)

The ones in NZ are a totally different species, so as far as diseases I have no idea about yours, but I know that the ones that are commonly kept in captivity do not harbor too many contagious diseases. In fact, I know of none except possibly ringworm. :confused: European hedgehogs are endangered, so the US banned their trade a long time ago. Many people in the US and Canada have hedgehogs as pets. They are fairly common now.

I know a few people in the UK who are actively involved in hedgie rescue. :)

[Kfamr]

You never answered my question. :p ;) :confused:

[luckies4me]

Give me a chance lol. I answered that question on the first page..........you can go read it there. :p


But yes they can be pokey, but if they are tame and handled from a young age and all, they should lay their quills flat, so that they do not poke you. :)

[carole]

Thanks for the info, I must say your species is much cutier than ours, no wonder people choose to keep them as pets, I am not sure what disease they harbour either, but I had heard there are some not so nice ones, OUR SPECIES anyhow. cheers and thanks again for educating me on something new.

[luckies4me]

Do your hedgies have longer ears? I love all hedgies! :D


Now you have me interested in them lol, so I am going to go do some research. :p

[carole]

Honestly I am not sure, have not seen a hedgie for a while, they are not near as pretty as yours, brown underneath, not white like your ones, let me know what you find out, coz I don't know that much myself about them, except they are all darn cute IMHO:)

[green_chameleon_girl]

AW! I was going to wait and tell you guys this but...My mom said I could get a mouse! I dont know though Im thinking about it:D



I LOVE THE PICS:D

[carole]

Enjoy your new mouse, I think they make lovely pets, before I owned my cat's I had mice, a black one mandy, a black and white one mindy, and when they went to Rb my other cute black and white one Tiffany.
I enjoyed each and every one of them, and found my last one Tiffany was extra special, seemed more intelligent, so good luck and tell us all about your mouse when he/she arrives, P.S girls don't smell as much.

[Foam]

How cute! :) Great shots!

[Fox-Gal]

Nope, none of my cats bug them because they have been raised with all sorts of animals since they were kittens. :) Here is a pic I think you would like..........
