I have had, just about, quite possibly, literally, truly, believably, conceivably the worst luck in the world with hedgehogs.
My very fist hedgehog she lived for only two years and then she died of
cancer. Piper passed away, February 9th of
2017 of double Kidney failure, and what I suspect was probably cancer.
These aren't tears... my eyes just went for a swim.
To die in such a bad way is not something..
I ever.....I don't want to witness that anymore.
HAH funny story. I got another one
Hey guys! So..
If- if you remember my video that I made *mirthless exhale*
SO LONG ago
(a month ago) lmao
Where I said I'm never getting another hedgehog
And I was like- I was crying in the video
I was emotional
My dead hedgehogs urn is hanging from my wall. Well, not hanging cause that'd be, that'd be kinda scary
Cause if it fell and cracked everywhere I'd have dead hedgehog everywhere
It's.. it's up there. It's sitting on a shelf in my wall
But you remember that fun video, right??
It was SO FUN
*actual tears of agony*
And so serious..
Well I have something to tell you guys...
*nervous laughter*
*clearing throat*
Hold on, hold on, I-I'm working up to saying it
AHEMnyemnargh
*cough*
I got another one.
I got another one. *laughs* I can explain though
I actually have.. it's a good story, It's not like I just went to the store and saw it and went "aww screw everything
I just said I'm buying one" - no this one, this one is rescued. I rescued this hedgehog from sure death
...
likely Death
Probably not death. Maybe death
Actually probably death.
I adopted my service dog Kita from a local dog
rescue group where they kinda they actually kind of take in everything. Anything that just gets surrendered to them
They take care of they find a new home for so... this lady that I adopted my dog from few months ago
Texted me the other day. March 27th to be exact and I was going to California March 29th
But she texted me and she said that someone's surrended a hedgehog and that it is just
Terrified and that it needs a home
She knew I had hedgehogs
So that's why she reached out to me. My number one rule for hedgehogs was if I ever got another one
I would get a female because I wanted to give Solara a new companion since Piper passed away. If you are a first time viewer
Hedgehogs Generally should not ever live together
Solara was actually a surrogate mother for rejected hedgehog babies at a breeder and because of that she actually does really good with
Hedgehogs and she likes to be around other hedgehogs as long as they have the right personality and get along with her
So my first question was if it was a boy or girl
and if it was a girl that I would CONSIDER looking at her well, it was a girl and
When I went to go look at her I just took her home LOL
Hello!
So we have an issue..
What's up?
This little thing is terrified. Well, he was terrified. She has surrendered to me on
Sunday
Okay.
Okay, when we got back in town.
Yeah.
She's been spitting, and curled up on a ball
Yeah.
Today's the first time that she lets me handle her
Okay
And I just feel like she's a man. I think, I don't know enough about them. But I want you to check
Open up
Ehhhh
I can't... see...
Oh that's a tail down there. Down there that's the tail. It would have, um, if it was a boy
Mhm?
It would have like a belly button right here.
Let me tell you the story
Yeah, tell me!
...--carry her in there, if you wanna keep that. Unless.. that was something they brought.
No, that's not what they bro with her. See-- see, the little girl didn't have a cage
Yeah, I'll be happy to take her. That'll be great!
She keeps rescuing everything that she finds.
Where did she get this one?
Ahh... a friend, from school...
Ask her to take care of her for the weekend...
She was free, it didn't cost any money.
So I'm going to get her out real quick and then I'll finish telling you the story.
So this is her and she's pretty terrified right now
so I'm not gonna stress her out too much. So basically the story goes like this. There was a girl in my town who owned this hedgehog
hello
That girl was going on vacation, so she gave this hedgehog to her friend, and said
"Hey, can you watch my hedgehog for a few days while I go out of town".
And since it was only going to be a few days all she left her
Was a sack for the hedgehog to sleep in not even a cage and some mealworms
And that was it, and the instructions on the mealworms were to feed her ONE meal worm every other day
That is literally starving a hedgehog, they need so much more food than one meal worm every other day. This hedgehog was
Being starved. If that wasn't enough
After a few days passed, her friend texted the girl that was on vacation and was like "hey
when are you gonna come pick up your hedgehog?" The girl replies
I moved out of town. You can keep her.
Who does THAT?? Who just who just moves?? Who just, and just, leaves a friend
"A friend" (feat. air quotations prod. scathing sarcasm)
With their animal and doesn't even tell their friend that they moved out of town
Oh hey!
Wanna say hi? She's wanting to say hi now
Then this girls like I don't know what to do with this hedgehog in the sack and with their little just mealworm one every other day
So she brought this hedgehog to the lady that I adopted my dog from
Left her in this sack and said feed her one meal worm every other day and then left
So this hedgehog continued to be fed one meal worm every other day and was living in a sack-- no cage
Just... chilln'
So her name is Sarabi and now she's mine and her and Solara are not living together, yet
I'm kind of letting Sarabi get used to her new home before I introduce her to another hedgehog
Why are you doing that..?
She's eating my HAIR
*nom*
Stahp!
*nom*
What are you doing??
You're not an actual lion just cuz you were named after Sarabi you don't have to groom me like I'm a li
Oh my God! She's like...
She won't let go!
Okay.
Well, *chuckle* I'm gonna put her back now.
You're messing up my mane!
So I haven't put Sarabi and Solara in the same cage yet
just because I'm letting Sarabi get used to her new home and her new enclosure and
Everything before I get the really big enclosure out of my garage and put them together. They seem to get along fine
I introduced them yesterday
Solara stop sniffing her... Solora, she doesn't like that
Solo- Solora, be normal!
They look like long lost sisters...
*mm u smel gud*
Stop sniffing her. Well, she actually doesn't seem to mind much anymore
Hi! She's opening up a little more
Solara's doin the best she can with her little legs
Solara still gets around pretty good for being
As far into this illness as she is she's had it for quite some time and she's getting older
So you think that it'd be worse than it is but she's still getting around. Where are YOU going?
Hi
Hello!
No, you can't go under my bed!
Everything seemed fine, but I'm just not ready to set up that six foot long cage yet
Cause it's--it's a big cage, and I don't know where I'm putting it
Anyway, so, yeah
I guess I have another hedgehog now, the...
iffy side I have no clue where she came from. She could have, with my luck, come from that same guy that my other two came from.
But for sure, for a *fact*, I'm never buying a hedgehog from that guy again.
Although there are some complaints about it,
I suspect that more people don't because he often sells people who don't know better
So they think when their hedgehog dies at two and a half of cancer that was just crazy but not
Something to do with the breeder where they got it from
I really don't know, uh, all I know is that she's mine now
I know, I'm crazy after saying I can't do it again
I'm doing it again yolo
but there's just something about
Situations like this where I feel like its like meant to be
but she's doing really well she ate like crazy the very first day she came home
I didn't want her to eat too much, and then get sick so I had to take away her food after a little bit
You could tell she had been starved and she was dehydrated on the first day the way she walked you could tell but she's doing a
lot better now, and I'm really happy that I could be there for her
I'm just really happy that it worked out the way it did
and there's no medical problems going on with her
So hopefully she just has a full healthy life and that there aren't any complications like my other hedgehogs have had
But if it happens, I can't control it
But I'm going to enjoy the time I have with her. Everyone keeps asking about the winner of the giveaway and if I picked one
You see, the problem is I am picking winners
And they just are replying to me so I just have to pick other winners
And I kind of wanted to check with them first to make sure that they were eligible to own the animal before I announced it
online, but I see that that's not working so instead
I'm gonna announce one of the winners right now, so I'm just go ahead and announce the winner here
And if they don't get back to me in the next four days, I will pick another winner. So here is the winner
Hold your horses
(can't make out the lyrics SORRY lmao)
So the person I picked for the winner was Sarah McGibbon
*smacks lips* Ahm..
Hopefully, I'm saying her name right, so if she can get back to me, that'd be awesome
If she can't within the next four days, I'm gonna have to pick a new winner. So that's what's been going on
I've just been picking winners and people haven't been replying to me so don't think I forgot about to give away
I didn't.. s'no one's.. no one's wanting to win
So thank you guys so much for watching and I will see you guys next time and thank you for subscribing and thank you for
Supporting me even though I'm crazy, and I got another hedgehog...
Thank you guys!
Bye! and you can watch my other videos and, uh
One of them my hand almost gets bitten off by an alligator, so that's fun
Here's the one of me crying about hedgehogs
n'case ya didn't see it
