i find them absolutely adorable. although, i can’t seem to find anywhere to buy one in ohio. i have ascertained that they are legal to keep here, so that’s a start.

I used to have one.. I bought mine at http://www.zanyzoopets.com/ in Eugene, Oregon.

Look for a small pet store that is locally owned. A place like Scamps will probably not have them.

They are not like a face licking cat. They are more like a hamster.

Like any other pet, you should thoroughly research the requirements for good ownership – can you supply the right housing, diet, supplements, enrichment, veterinary care? Make sure that there is a vet in the area that will see hedgies. I’ve seen quite a few of then with parasite problems, skin problems, etc.
