I'm sorry, when I first joined the forum I forgot to introduce myself, lol. I posted the thread "A Buddy For My Hedgie." in the General folder.

Cool! I can't wait to see a photo, what's his name? How old is he? What color? What treats does he like?
Tell us all about him,, and yourself!
Photo's are a requirement on this board! :)

I can't really send a photo enless I remember to pick a camera up at Wal-Mart, and then find a person who has a scanner, lol.

His name is Chunk, he's about a year old... I'm not sure what color he is... I tried looking it up but I got more then a little confused... Lol.

He has a brown face mask, and his quills are... white at the bottom (just a little bit), then a light brown band, dark brown band, light brown band, and then white tips again.

I was told he's probably a chocolate chip or a chocolate algerian? Not sure, lol. But I don't mind what color he is, he's still cute as can be!

I loves... and I mean loves... mealworms. I have to be so careful when giving him those treats, otherwise I'd be missing fingers. I try giving him the fresh fruits and veggies like instructed, but he won't have nothing to do with them... And I've tried EVERYTHING.

He does like onions though... My friend was cooking something with onions, and after just cutting them up he went to pet Chunk and got bit. So he gave Chunk just a little bitty slice and he went to town on it. I was so surprised...

I feed Iams Maturity and Kitten food mix. He also get's those soft cat treats now and again... which he has grown out of. He used to love them, but not so much now.

The big (I mean... fluffy...) guy loves to explore. He couldn't be any happier when he's exploring! It's so cute and amusing to watch his little nose twitch as he runs along.

I think that if you stand up and he runs by your feet, he looks like a twinkie with legs... wrong color of course, lol... but so cute!

He has a TON of toys... Chunk has more toys then my nieces and nefew! He's got those colored leather mice, tinkling cat toys, large rolly guinepig hideaway balls... you name it... But his favorite is that dang toilet paper roll... LOL.

He wears it like a hat... Because I cut out a strip so he doesn't get stuck and then he wiggles in it and bumps around intell it's ontop of his head sitting just perfect like a hat. Oh, he loves kleenex boxes... He plays peek-a-boo in them with you...

I joined here originally to consider getting another hedgie. My first thought was to get Chunk a buddy, but I was told if I do that... they'll either breed like crazy if it's a female and fight forever if it's a male.

So... I put aside $200.00 to get a cage and toys and another hedgie. Not to put them together but to have another cute little face to wake up to in the morning! :D

Hmm...hedgie size, hedgie shape...I'd use the Twinkie description except I already have one friend who likes to tease me about eating the hedgie.... :| :laugh:

At any rate, congrats on getting your hedgie. They are adorable.

Lol, thank you razzle, hedgegirl and hedgie spirit! Thank you for welcoming Chunk and I to the board! He's sitting here on my lap right now... My sister's kids are in the room right now so he's hiding in my lap. He's scared of them, I think they have to much energy for him.
