Carpet Attack or Hedgehog Anointing? Our African Pygmy Hedgehog Shows a Unique Hedgie Behavior.

Anyone who has cared for a hedgehog can tell you that they are critters who display some unique behaviors often not known by others. Getting to know these incredibly cute creatures is best before taking on a pet hedgehog - then there are no surprises. This video shows our hedgehog anointing due to a new smell. It looks like she is mad at the carpet, however... and we understand. Many people are offended by wall to wall carpet, too.

Bean is a middle-aged hoggie that came to us through the Hedgehog Welfare Society. She couldn’t travel with her owner to another country therefore she relocated to northern Minnesota with us!

So what is Prickle Peeps all about? Hedgehogs and all of their shenanigans! We love to laugh and we find that these clips of our pets do the trick. We want to bring a smile to your face and preferably a giggle to your heart. Make sure to subscribe to Prickle Peeps, like and comment on this video. We would love to hear from you!

I love this! Quillma does this exact same thing. Loves attacking carpet and shoes and annointing with them.

Super cute!! I’ll remember the term “anointing” the next St. Patrick’s day….
“Nope! Definitely NOT puking!! Just doing some toilet anointing for defense!” 😂

First! Glad I turned my notifications on for your channel. Quick question, is Bean part cat? I’ve always wondered this because of his exotic and lustrous fur.
