Letters From Customers Dear Jill, It was a treat visiting with you & your critters! Peaches has settled in nicely. Though she was cautious about the dinner menu the first night, her appetite returned to normal by Sunday (she really liked the ferret chow). I gave her a choice of hidy-holes and she favors a 7" square box with a 'mouse-hole'. I see her little face peering out, sometimes in daylight; she is some relaxed hog! If you haven't found it already, the home page for the Welsh Hedgehog Hospital is www.whh.org. I found it by doing a general search under "hedgehog". You'll get a kick out of the photo-page. Thanks again for the great little pet, Elaine Hartman Jill, I just wanted to let you know that our little girl is doing great, she loves her new house and all her new friends. Thank you so much for all your help and for such a great little critter...=) Kris Jill- Hello, I just wanted to thank you for lending an ear and helping me out with Pandora. I rushed her to a vet and he put her on some medication. We don't know what is wrong with her because the doctor wanted to cover the small things and then look for the bigger problems. Since that morning she has been great. She has been warm, active, and so sweet. She has been eating and I believe going to the bathroom more regularly. The vet commented on how wonderful she behaves with me, and said that it reflected the breeder. How true, she has a wonderful temperament and is so tolerant of me. She lets me give her meds by syringe in her mouth, while lying on her back. She is so wonderful, I can't thank you enough for giving me the opportunity to give me love and time to such an amazing animal. Thank you again I'll be in touch. Sincerely, Laurie Seitz Hi Jill, We were watching Animal Planet today and we saw you with your hedgehogs. We were so excited! It was short but cute! Hope you had a nice Christmas. The hedgehog is named Prickles and is now eating very well and drinking out of her bottle. We ordered the book from Amazon.com and expect it tomorrow. Everything appears to be going well and we are really enjoying her. Take care and keep in touch. The Isaksens Dear Jill: I know my daughter has emailed you about the baby we got from you, but I have to tell you what a little darling she really is. Since everyone we know is totally amazed by her on how gentle she is and how awfully cute too. So I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for our beautiful baby. Stephanie Hi Jill, I thought you might like to know that the baby made it home OK and seems to be doing well. She is still a little skittish and puts her quills up occasionally, but calms down and goes exploring after a very short time. We gave her an official name of Priscilla Prickles, but we call her Sweet P. Lynn Sickler Hi Jill, I just wanted to let you know we named our hedgie "Dollie" and he is doing awesome. He seems very happy, content and busy. The first day I didn't see him eat or drink and was concerned so I became a lot more vigilant but he's eating and drinking fine now. He drinks from the water dispenser fine. I am trying to get him used to be awake during the day as I have read but I really don't have time to hold and entertain him all day and as soon as he snuggles into your armpit or if he finds something to snuggle into he goes to sleep. Oh well he is still soooo cute. Thanks again for everything. "Dollie" says hi. Terri __________________________________________ Jill, Well Sage more than survived the trip home... she spent most of it snuffling around the box and poking her nose out the holes to snuff some more. She finally got bored and took a little nap. When we got her home it took her all of 1 second to unroll and start motoring around.. Held her for a little while and then put her in to adjust to her new cage. She wandered over to the food dish and had a little snack. Obviously still very traumatized! NOT. Heard her flipping food bowl around and checked her once during night and found her up on shelf surveying her new domain. Held her this am and wow what a little busybody... Motoring around snuffling and making a little chirp/purr sound sort of like a guinea pig but softer... kinda like under her breath. I had read about them just erecting the spines on their forehead. she does this for a split second... gives her a quizzical look sort of like a raised eyebrow.. very endearing. She is definitely a sweetie and obviously a testament to how well you socialize them. I had expected her to be much shyer. Well I won't ramble too much. Just wanted to thank you again and let you know how much we enjoyed meeting you. Ruth _____________________________________________ Jill, My name is Leslie Murphy, I purchased a baby hedgehog from you in April. I just wanted to send you a little note saying how pleased I am with him. He is now about four months old and I absolutely love him. He is a doll, and quite possibly the most handsome hedgehog to ever live! So I know what a tough time you had throughout the winter with the unfortunate breeding, but my little "Hennessy," is a happy, healthy, pog! so thank you and good luck! I have a feeling in a few years I will be looking you up to get myself another baby hedgie!!! Sincerely, Jill, just wanted to let you know how happy my daughter is with her new hedgehog. Thanks for calling us. Natalie has named her "Tawnie" which means "little one" in swahili, (she looked it up in a baby naming book) David Vergara Jill, Our new family member (our little girl) is doing very well. We named her Heggie. She had a grand time exploring her new digs (a spacious dwarf rabbit cage), ate some food, found and drank from her water bottle, tipped her (handmade tissue box) cave over (... and over, and over). She didn't seem at all bothered by the thunder-boomer last night. In fact, she seemed to have had a ball! Everything in her home, with the exception of her food dish was rearranged this morning when we went to check on her! Needless to say, we're in love already! Regards, ____________________________________________ Jill, My name is Zach Yanowitz. Our family purchased a hedgehog from you in October. Her name is Harainezumi, Japanese for hedgehog, or Zumi for short. By the way, when we called you asking about the noise, it was just her wheel. She has been a big part of our life, and we love her very much. Thanks so much The Yanowitz/ Role family _______________________________________ Hi Jill, I am delighted with "Simon." He has adjusted to his new home with us and is just as curious as he was when I first saw him on Saturday at your home. He's crawling around, continues to be socialized and seems to really like meeting new people. He loves the Science diet food, but hasn't warmed up to the crickets or the little bit of ferret food. I am so happy with him! Simon is just what I hoped for. Thanks so much for all of your information and help. Paula Kosior _______________________________________ Jill, Since we finaly got a digital camera, I wanted to drop you a quick line to Thanks again for breading such a wonderful hog. All the best, Frank, Gayle and Wicket _______________________________________ Hi Jill, Just wanted to say thanks for all the hedgehog information. Our new baby is doing great. My daughter named him Harry. He is still exploring his cage and has found several nooks he likes to hide out in. He loves his wheel and was happily still traveling at 12:30 last night when I went to bed. He is eating and drinking and seems to enjoy being held. He keeps getting under my shirt to go down my sleeve! We are all enjoying him and he seems content so far. Maryann _______________________________________ Hi, Jill, Sonic/Scooter/Pablo seems to be doing well. I did put a wheel in his cage and find a little poop on it each morning. We have also been letting him roam freely in a "safe room" for a couple of hours in the evening after we have played with him and fed him treats (chicken, live crickets). He didn't know what exactly to do with the live crickets at first--but, he knew he was supposed to do something! The first time he was exposed to them, he got all excited and sniffing and snuffling and lunging at them, but no results. So, we stunned them for him and he gobbled them right up. The next time, we shut him up with three of them in a closed box, heard a scuffle, opened the box and our baby was still chewing, looking very satisfied. He is so adorable and we enjoy being with him and watching him so much. He now calms down almost immediately when in my hands and is quite easy to handle. Maryalice _______________________________________ Dear Jill, I am sorry I have not been able to e-mail you sooner but I just wanted to tell you that I am enjoying my hedgehog so much. I named her Chloe and she has grown so much in the past three weeks. She seems to have a more full set of quills but has also seemed to lose millions all around the house. I already gave her a bath since she rolled over in the poop, and she didn't seem to mind the bath at all. She is so sweet and is always in a good mood if I wake her up in the middle of the day but is more grumpy in the evening. She is a great pet and I am glad I finally got a hedgehog. Thank you for Chloe my new little angel. Katherine Valles ___________________________________ Hi Jill, Anastasia and I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know that Quilbur is doing great and we are really enjoying him! He seems to have lost most of his baby quills and had gotten a lot bigger. He loves the exercise wheel & is eating and drinking lots. As of a couple of weeks ago he does not seem to poop as much (which I hope is normal) which makes bringing him out of his cage much easier. Thanks so much for all of your help and advice - he is a really terrific pet. ________________________________________ Hi Jill, I will send photos as soon as I can take some (probably later on tonight). His cage is ginormous! And, front row and center in our living room. I had to do some furniture shuffling, but in the end, it worked out great! Last night we put the bars up (like how I explained) but the pan is so deep we'll probably take them down because he can't even reach! I startled awake several times during the night thinking of him, and if he was safe. We rushed downstairs this morning at 6:30 a.m. to check on him. He was chillin' in his wheel (mounted on the side). Then he flexed his little hoglet muscles and showed us how fast he can go. Then we took him out for a little supervised exploration on the floor and a photo op with Daniella's cell phone (she wanted to show her friends at school proof). Right now he has burrowed under the litter in a corner and is scratching around a bit. Thank you for the wonderful pet! We are in love and are looking forward to our future fun filled years! Vanssa __________________________________________ Hi Jill,
Take care, ___________________________________________ Hi Jill, OMG, Sprigs was so cute last night. He has stopped trying to get away 100% of the time. He is now down to trying to escape 5% of the time. We went one day without holding him. So, last night at 10:00 we got him out of his cage and I knew he would be hungry because he hadn't been out of hisß bed the whole day. So, after he peed and pooped on me, I brought out his food dish and plopped it on me. We watched him eat. Then we brought out his water bottle and we watched him drink. He did this for about 1/2 hour. Then, he sat and chilled for about another 1/2 hour. I fell asleep and he did too! All in all, he was out being "social" for about 1 1/2 hours. Not bad for a little guy! It's too funny though. Since Daniella is still kind of scared of getting spiked, it's mainly me who does all of the handling. So, he does not even care much about my hands coming near him. But, should Daniella lurk too close, his little quills stand straight up, or if she accidentally breathes on him, same thing. Or, if she even moves a little too quickly. Or, if she tries to put her hand over by him. She's a little offended, but not really! We just can't stop laughing! And, his sense of smell is so good! He puts his little nose right up in the air and you can see him sniffing! I offered him a fresh dried cranberry (ripped open a little so the flesh was exposed) and he took it from my fingers with his little mouth, but then he didn't do anything with it. I really need to go to the pet store and get some crickets. Thanks for such a wonderful pet! Be well, Vanessa ____________________________________________ Hi Jill, ______________________________________________ Hey Jill, I just wanted to shoot you a quick email to tell you after a long debate, Jim and I have decided to name our hedgie (salt and pepper male) Ernie. We love him and are so excited to have him. Thanks again, ________________________________________________ Hi Jill, Thank you so much. He is wonderful, we decided to name him Tucker since he likes to curl up and sleep on us. He's taken so well to his new home, he ate and drank water the first night and even played for a little bit. Thank you so much for our new addition, we are very excited to have him! :) Brittany ___________________________________________________ Hello Jill, Deb ____________________________________________________ Dear Jill, ____________________________________________________ Jill here is a picture of Lola CC Parlman on Easter! She loves her new home she has already started to run on her wheel. And she sleeps in her hut on the bottom floor every morning. She is starting to wake up at 3:45 when I come back from school so I take her out to play and she runs around! Thank you so much for Lola
