Jessi introduces what hedgehogs are, where they came from, when they starting living with humans, and how to take care of them as pets.
*Gloves are not recommended for normal interactions with hedgies. Jessi used gloves during this video because Groucho’s quills are extra sharp and Jessi had an eczema flare up at the time. Jessi normally handled him without gloves and as Groucho aged he became more relaxed during handling, as a youngster us was unusually “grouchy”. He lived to be 7.5 years old.
