Rabbit Jumping in So MD

Wow that is great that there is a rescue in Hollywood.
Do you have to wear some sort of special glove for the bowling tourneys? :shrug:

Gloves are not recommended because hedgehogs will recognize you by smell. Wearing gloves will only confuse your hedgehog; hand lotion or heavy perfumes may confuse the hedgehogas well. Placing a worn t-shirt in their cage may familiarize them with your scent.If necessary, a thick towel can be used to pick up a a stubborn hedgehog at first, rather than gloves.
Do not grab your hedgehog from above (ouch) or hold it in such a way that a finger could get trapped by the hedgehog rolling into a ball (big ouch!).
Remember the spines are not barbed nor do they come out like porcupine quills -- if you do get poked it will be a bit painful but not terrible, so try not to be nervous.

I'm checking those "cigarettes" when you get home.

I think she's gearing up for spending time with her sister

So are some breeding lines famous for their tight little balls or does that come from training? :shrug:

I've heard it's all in her voice. She hits a certain note and whamo - instant tight balls...

Their tight little balls come from training, but the smaller the hh is, the tighter and smaller the balls can be. A hedgehog needs to be at least six months old ball tightening training and competition can begin.

Nomo I tried the cattle prod on my hamster like you suggested..it did not work

i can't believe you did that to your poor little mcfurry I said a cattle prop!!!! Its a little cut out of a cow, the hamsters are terrified of cows for some reason and run like the wind. I have a half mind to report you!!

You would think that when they are in there tight little ball position that some of the quills would be kinda uncomfortable, does the training also include pain tolerance? :shrug:

It doesn't hurt them. They are not barbed. It's actually a defense mechanism that works to our benefit.

If there's a rustle in your hedgehog, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a sprain thing from the training.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to train the hedgehog.
And it makes me wonder.

I love the look of pride on your face as your little hedgehog stands with you on the winner's podium.

Rabbit Jumping

Wow these Thread's do tend to change directions don't they.

I got my mini rex through the first step of teaching him rabbit jumping we had him out in the yard on a harness and leash yesterday and he did great he LOVED running all over the yard!!!!!!!!! We even got him over a really small jump about 5 or 6 times I have to working on making some jumps that are higher that he will not duck under.

I will take some pictures of him on his harness and going over our BABY jumps.
