Re: just got a hedgehog, need some advice

Even though they are nocturnal, and they do prefer to be asleep during them day, you can wake them up. I take mine to schools most days to be handled by the children.

I would let him settle in for a few days. They normally wake up on their own late evening to maybe around 8 or 9pm.

I would let him sniff around and get used to his new home before you start handling him. You could put your hands inside and maybe give him some mealworms to get him used to you.

Where did you get him from?
