Thanks for all the info! I've been searching up on them and really think that I want to make the drive to New Mexico and get one. I'll be pet sitting a hedgie next week, and I think that will determine if I get one of not. I've met him once for our client consultation and fell in love with him. I think taking care of him for a week will help me decide if it is a good pet for me or not. I also know that he's a little shy so I'm hoping that during my week with him he'll let me play with him. When I met him I saw the owner interact with him and he was so cute and sweet.
