Something that has helped my little girl was sleeping with one her blankets and then putting it in there with her. It gets them used to your scent. Welcome and Congrats on your new hedgie!!! Be sure and keep us updated on her!

don't let her intimidate you! wolfgang was real huffy with us for the first couple days, but we just make sure to go ahead and hold him every day for at least an hour and he gets more and more comfortable with us each time. if he starts huffing we're guaranteed to pick him up so he won't think he's got an easy out of us bugging him.

i do the blanket thing with him as well; after i do his laundry i'll sleep with one of his blankies and then put it in his sleeping tube. the added benefit is my bed smells like his bed, so he's far less inclined to poop on my comforter :applause:

have you picked a name for your girl yet?
