I have had my hog for a little while now and everytime i hold her/take her out i gt a itchy rash on my hands
Im not allergic to anything else i know of but it lasts for hours and is similar to spider hairs irritating the skin
anyone else get this, its making it not so fun holding her

I got that for a bit but not so much now. It was mostly when i was taming them and would get spiked.

I get extremely itchyness and a mild rash all over my hands if they huff up whilst being handled. This is only really an issue for me with the very new babies as the adults aren't really that huffy now and I know how to pick them up without being spiked.

I'm also extremely sensitive to spider hairs and get a bad rash when handling any spider, so I think that it is similarly triggered as those susceptable to spider hairs seem to be suscetable to the hedgehog spikes.

glad im not the only one.
she doesnt puff up but its simply from holding her and not getting spiked!

My allergy from my rats seem to be subsiding...I do not take anything for it at the moment.I do also get it sometimes with my hedgies.
