HOW TO DOMESTIC A HEDGEHOG

In all social networks like instagram, facebook or youtube .. you see hedgehogs enjoying their massages in the belly that make them their owners. You probably wonder how they get their hedgehogs to be so quiet, here I am going to give you some simple tips that will help you a lot.

The domestication of a hedgehog is not easy and much less short, you must have a lot of patience until you get used to it. In the first few months there are some normal changes you should know, summarized two:

·ADAPTATION: When they take them home they start to smell everything, since this is new for them, they can feel a little scared, they sleep a lot, they urinate in all their terrarium or they simply do not let themselves be caught, It is normal, in a few weeks they are accustomed .

· QUILLING: The hedgehogs pass into the quilling state in the first few months (almost always between 3 and 6). During this period much of the sharp spines are lost and replaced by firmer and stronger ones. When you pass this state your hedgehog has already adapted to your new environment and home ❤

INSTRUCTIONS

1. ADAPTATION: Hedgehogs have a very good smell and hearing, but they do not have very good eyesight, therefore you if you want your hedgehog to get used to you, you should do things like:

· Take an old T-shirt and put it in the terrarium to get used to your smell.

· Talk to your hedgehog and put a name on it, call it several times in the day to get accustomed to the name.

· If you sing, sing a song, that calms you.

2.RECOMPENSA: Reward him by giving him his favorite food:

·When I'm about to feed it Shake the bag of food.

· Call 2 or 3 times before feeding

*THIS HAS BEEN PUTTING IN PRACTICE WITH COCO IN ORDER TO BE TAKING BEST PHOTOS:

1. Go to your terrarium, make him feel his presence by either waving the bag, when he finally leaves let him sniff him, then slide his hand down her belly and take it out.

2. when sitting outside in his hands feed him with worms and proceed to take pictures or to caress him

"Hedgehogs love worms, that is why they are given as a reward. If your hedgehog is not accustomed to eating them, give it more often"

3. CONFIDENCE: When your hedgehog has become totally accustomed to your home, to the worms and especially to you, I recommend these 2 tips:

· When you get your hedgehog out of the terrarium, place your hand on its little nose and let it smell, so it will not sulk.

·Take your hedgehog to your bed, turn off the lights and do something (like reading, watching Netflix, listening to soft music, watching your smartphone, etc.) The important thing is that it is dark. Let your hedgehog run through your bed for an hour, then your hedgehog will come to you, climb up your hair, seek your attention, hide in your arm and happily run everywhere.

"WHEN YOU ARRIVE TO THIS POINT, THE HEDGEHOG WILL BE ACCUIDATED TO YOU, THEN PUT IT INTO SOMETHING SOFTLE AND LET IT SCROLL HIS HAND, SO YOU KNOW IT IS AND YOU WILL LET THE MASSAGE BE LOW. SLEEP MASSAGE YOUR BELLY"

CONGRATULATIONS, THE HEDGEHOG IS ALREADY DOMESTICATED!
