Oh my gosh, she is gorgeous. Can you tell us what they are like as pets? Are they legal in all states? They're really cute. My close friend just got a baby Chinchilla last week because she was so devastated at having lost her squirrel.

Ok... Here we go!

They are so cute!! I would really like to know more about these guys!

What do they eat? Their main diet is dried cat food, with wet tinned cat food occassionally, cooked chicken and ham, fruit and veg and insects

Are they cuddly? Not cuddly as such, but they enjoy coming out of the cage and being handled. I have a small pen for mine to run around in.

Do they bite? I have never heard of a hedgehog biting, just make sure to get one that is used to being handled from a baby.

Are they mischievous? Not really! Very curious and they love burrowing.

Do they like to steal items like farrets? No

What kind of noises to they make? None really. They will occassionally huff and puff (which you can hear in Mochas vid) if they are nervous or grumpy.

Do you they like new people? Mine have been handled by different people and been really friendly, its very much like parrots, some will and some wont!

etc... Ok now I am done with the questions lol

oh they are so cute, can you hold them when they get to adult size? Yes, just make sure to handle them daily as babies! do their spikes hurt? only when they roll up into a ball, when the spikes lay flat they just feed like a really thick bristled brush. are they friendly pets? yes, a properly raised one loves human interaction what do you house them in? My two are in indoor rabbit cages
