Thread 5069401

Winter is almost here.
If you have hedgehogs living near you, consider putting out some food at night to help the newborns who didn't manage to fatten up enough.
Even a cheap bag of peanuts can go a long way, they love it and it'll really help them gain weight.

Can I catch them and keep them as pets instead? That way they'll get ALL the peanuts :)

>>5069404
They are nocturnal wild animals, anon. They aren't pets, they are extremely solitary animals.
Don't make their life miserable by keeping them inside.

I was promised a tick orb.

>>5069405
Awww. But they're so cute though. Will they mind if I catch them to look at and maybe pet for a couple minutes and then release them?

If your in the EU it's likely illegal but enforcement will vary, it's also a bit of a who is going to know situation
As a wild animal, they will have fleas and other parasites that can carry disease to you
Generally, they are solitary animals that don't like being handled, that's why they're covered in spikes
All in all, it's a bad idea. Just leave out some food for them

Sounds like it's for the best to let them be. Shame. Maybe there's some other timeline with domesticated hedgehogs.

>>5069409
I need to replenish my tick storage.

>>5069524
You made it after all! I guess I missed it. Bravo!

The only based hedgieposter.

>>5069401 (OP)
That one looks happy.

>>5069545
All hedgie posters are based.
You're just a stupid faggot.

>>5069741
Objectively incorrect. The one that was spamming threads and got absolutely btfo by badgerchad was cringe and not based.

>>5069542
Thanks, but the previous attempts weren't successful (first time using resin, too). I still want to craft the perfect orb, crystal clear and full of ticks, to send to one random anon in those threads.
Here are the attempts, if you're curious about the previous failures: https://desuarchive.org/an/thread/4991326

Peanuts for insectivores? Around here people advice only scrambled egg, high quality cat food or actual insects.

>>5069431
Just attract one to your garden and you'll have some company around or soon after nightfall.

I usually give them cat food too and quail eggs (one of them goes crazy for those), but many individuals are surprisingly picky. Yet they will all eat peanuts, which is high fat food, perfect for storing that little emergency extra fat needed to survive winter.
...some really have the strangests food habits, (old) pic related. What a gangster.

Well if mine likes peanuts there are usually some in the garden because someone next door feeds the crows or magpies with peanuts and they throw them around everywhere.
I haven't seen him for weeks now though I bet he already went to bed.

Haha, it's quite the other way round around here: crows and magpie make a rucus in the morning, eating the hedgehogs' leftovers.

I hope he'll make it through winter. Sleep tight, hedgie.

Last one I saw was whizzing across a street like fucking sanic
