MickeySex: Male
Age: 6 Months Experience needed: Experience with nervous hedgehogs required Mickey is a young male with a lot of nerves. He's only 6 months old so has a long life ahead. He spends most of his time curled up in a tight ball. He is a curious little guy and does tend to unroll a little quicker than Rocky does, but it’s usually just to get a quick look at you and he then balls right back up. We couldn’t get him unrolled for long enough to take a cute picture of him on his back like the others. Rather than stress him with multiple attempts, we just took one of him in his bath when he was getting his nails done. He has no apparent health issues but you may notice some white fatty deposits behind his eyes. They are purely cosmetic and not a problem at all though - just something that hedgies have every now and then. He is not a good option for first timers, families with kids, or anyone looking for a hedgehog they can easily handle from day one. He is only available to an experienced hedgehog owner - preferably one who has worked with very nervous hedgies in the past. We were able to trim his nails using a few inches of water in the sink and are willing to continue assisting his adopters with nail trims if they have a hard time getting them done themselves. Mickey is free to a good, experienced home. *We would be open to Mickey and Rocky going to the same experienced home if someone is up for twice the challenge, but they would have to be housed separately in their own enclosures to prevent fighting. |
