Hedgehogs

This book is very well written and a very good resource for new hedgehog owners. The information is nicely organized and very relevant. It should bea staple for all considering owning a hedgehog, rescues, and fosters.

Great little book! I’ve started reading it and it’s interesting and fun to read! If ur looking for a book with a lot of information and actually keeps your interest this is the one! Plus full color pictures throughout are so adorable!

This is a very short introduction guide to hedgehogs, probably an essential for all new hedgie owners. I bought this on recommendation from Z. G. Standing Bear of The Flash and Thelma Memorial Hedgehog Rescue after adopting a hedgehog for the first time. It comes with many informative pictures and charts, such as possible illnesses as well as suggested foods, bedding, and toys for your hedgie. The paper itself is even high quality. Well worth the money, and I think very important for anyone looking into getting a hedgehog.

This little books covers everything you need to know about a pet hedgehog. I know you can get most information online, but I loved reading this and having it handy. It was a useful care manual to send with my sweet hedgie to the sitters for two weeks. Now it’s used as a coffee table book, because the photos are too cute!

Very good information

Great book for a first time hedgehog owner.

We got a hedgehog from a lady who was having a baby so didn't want it anymore. This book helped us learn a lot! I haven't read a ton of it but my girlfriend read it all and thank goodness she did. I almost freaked out that he was dying or sick when one time he started foaming heavily at the mouth and spitting on himself while contorting his body. Like a hedgehog seizure almost. But, it turns out that it was him changing his scent or something weird? Idk. All I know is this little book will help you out for sure.

Everything you need in one book! BUT after my hedgie turned a year he had to have emergency surgery on his foot for human hair getting tangled. Apparently this is a common problem and not mentioned. Cost me $600 plus a toe amputation. Poor little guy and I helped with the surgery and he was so painful we had to up the anesthetic and numb the whole foot before he stopped moving and could get it out of the embedded skin. CHECK THEIR FEET just like a human baby.

great pix and descriptions

Es gibt eh nicht viele deutschsprachige Bücher über Afrikanische Weissbauchigel, diese beinhalten meist nicht mehr Informationen als man über Suchmaschinen findet. Ausgewichen auf ein englisches Buch ist es das beste was ich bisher über die Igelchen gefunden habe.

This is an excellent book for anyone thinking about taking on Hedgehogs. The book is focused on the African Pygmy Hedgehog which is by far the most popular domestic hog. The detailed information is delivered in an easily read format, covering all areas of caring and enjoying these little creatures.I gave the book to my daughters aged 12 and 8 - both enjoyed and understood what they read. On that basis I would say this is an ideal book for a family to read/study together.

Book very informative.

Es gibt ja nun leider kaum Literatur zu unseren kleinen Freunde (von deren Haltung in Privathand ich, obwohl selbst seit gut 1 Jahr Futterlieferant für 2 Stachelbälle, dringend abraten möchte - spätestens an der Erfüllung des extremen Laufbedürfnisses und dem Bedürfnis nach Abwechslung, aber auch einer vielseitigen Ernährung scheitert aus meiner Erfahrung das "Projekt Igel), und so ist dieses Buch eine der wenigen gedruckten Informationsquellen. Für eine grobe Ahnung reicht es sicher, ist aber sehr auf Anglo-Amerikanische Verhältnisse ausgerichtet, die so nur eingeschränkt in Europa anwendbar sind. Dazu kommt, dass es die Probleme bei der Haltung dieser wunderschönen Tiere meiner Meinung nach nicht ausreichend würdigt. Schon an anderer Stelle wurde darauf hingewiesen, dass Informationen aus dem Internet da teilweise sehr viele weitreichender sind. Allerdings ist der Preis dieses Büchleins unschlagbar und es enthält eben doch auch sehr viele gute Tipps und sehr schöne Bilder - die dann allerdings wieder leicht zur Anschaffung dieser Tiere führen können. Mein Tipp: Buch kaufen und dann (so wie ich es auch gemacht habe): ab zum seriösen Züchter (meine beiden Züchter haben mich gewarnt).
