Introducing Pooki!!

   YAY!! I have ALWAYS loved Hedgehogs! I always wanted one since a child but my parents would never allow it.  Well, my local pet shop happened to have one when we were pet shopping sooo we bought her! At first I was a little apprehensive because I wasn't sure how the kids would do with her but they have been great with her!  She was nameless for about a week until last night when we finally named her Pooki! I wanted to name her Poki since shes prickeley but my husband said he liked Pooki better so Pooki it is.

   Being a Hedgehog I thought she was always going to be prickeley and try to draw blood if I even went near her but she is pretty sweet.  At first she does puff up and hiss but after a minute she calms down.  I'm sure that is because it is always so noisy in my house because of my 3 boys always running around and yelling and playing.  She probably doesn't know what to expect at first.

   She is so funny when we put her in the big wheel.  She loves it and it's so cute to watch her.  She just goes and goes and goes.  I have a few small toys in her cage that I have never seen her play with but I am assuming she plays at night when everything is quiet.  If you have never considered a Hedgie as a pet you really should. They make good pets and are easy to care for.  The cage is simple, the food is super simple since they eat cat food.  You really can't go wrong as long as you have a little time for interaction each day.  We take her out to play with her for about 10-15 minutes each day until she starts getting over play time.  We love her!  Be sure to subscribe and check back for more from these adorable little critters!
