First APH

[Tomcat]

Got my first APH today. Stunning little chocolate girl.

Very inquisitive and active. Already had the set up ready, so popped her straight in after the 2.5 hour journey home. She had a quick mooch around, before scuttling off into one of her houses. I was pottering around in the room and she quickly came back out to see what i was doing.

Seems very friendly, and funny. Really good introduction to exotic mammals!

Will get pictures up tomorrow

Thanks to all the people who have helped me

congratulations and hope she settles in well over the next few days - please please get to know your girl before even considering breeding - its not as easy as you think and it isnt an easy buck - I have had APH for 14months now and only now am I considering breeding my well lined boy - I do wish you well with your girl but please think and consider the animal always and 1st and foremost enjoy her for who and what she is

Listen mate, like i said on the last post you had a go at me on, i didnt say i was going to start breeding straight away did i! I said i MIGHT in a year or so once i get to know hedgehogs more!!!!

Can i just mention if you plan to breed in a yr you will not be able to use your new girlie as they have to be bred and have given birth before one yr old as their hips fuse.

yes hope you enjoy her. there is loads of advice and information around, and the the more you research the more interesting these animals are.

I didnt have a go and you certainly didnt say nowt of the sort you said that you'd read up and knew everything - no-one will ever know everything

[dexnos]

But you did give that impression and you were naive enough to say you knew all u needed to know about them which is probably why you had the original post removed .

Good look with your new hedgie glad she is settling in.

Im actually going to stop posting here now, or updating people on my hedgehog as you all seem to think your superior to me, and i would rather not argue. Its getting like the tortoise section.
