Click here to see the profile of this user 		another newbie joins! - 2008/02/22 00:07 Hi all!
well i've been lurking around this forum forever, and finally decided to post a bit, so here are some pics of my new hedgie (got her on the 10th (what bad weather it was driving home that day...) from kelly at hamor!). her name is freya!

here are some uber dark photos of her (my first ones, i was afraid to scare her with flash):



and i had a party this past weekend and a lot of my friends showed up to see her. one of my friends sent some pics of me with her that i think she looks really cute in:



she was really well behaved at the party, despite all the new smells, sounds, and people. she's been on and off huffy, but i still play with her at least once or twice a day. she's both a runner and a cuddler i think - if i hold her in my hands she'll try squirming and will run when i put her down. but if i hold her inside her blanket, she'll nearly always snuggle up and fall asleep.

also - i think she must be the only hedgehog that doesnt like tp tubes! although i supply them (and foam ones) i've never seen her play with them!

anyway a big hello from me and freya! i promise ill have better pics next time

Freya is beautiful!! I really like the name. Best of luck with her! LORI, SOUTHINGTON, CT

Oh, and mine don't like tubes either....at least most of the time. One time I did find one *trying* to sleep in it....aka stick her head in and hope it would make it darker. lol.

Digit doesn't really like the tp tubes either..... the only toy she really plays with is her wheel! http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=106956777

aww... maybe none of the hamor girls like tp tubes? O_o

and no, i did not get my inspiration from freya from ffix although all my friends seem to think so! i like that freya as well, but it was really just from the norse mythology and the various sagas. plus i just like the name freya anyway!

well last night i hid a piece of food inside the tp tube and she did stick her head in, but didnt seem to like it much. she walked around with the tube on her head for a little bit and it was hilarious though!!

oh and a quick question - are hedgies supposed to run in wheels like hamsters? just that i noticed freya runs inside the wheel for 2-6 seconds (10 tops) and stops quite frequently. i remember when i had hamsters, they would run nearly non stop for a while. just wondering if this is natural or not.

Well, wherever you got the name -- I like it I will always think of Freya from FF though!!!

Neither of my 2 pay the slightest attention to tubes or any of their cat toys. They just like their wheels and moving their food dishes around the cage. Barbara with Hector & Harriet Hog

Click here to see the profile of this user 		Re:another newbie joins! - 2008/02/22 17:30 I have a boy from HH and he's just the same. No tubes for him. If I leave him alone with them for a decent amount of time I'll find chew marks all over them, so maybe he's just shy. Also.. when he first started running on his wheel he did the same thing. I think he didn't know how to keep up with it and thought he would fall off. Check out Ham's Blog !

Click here to see the profile of this user 		Re:another newbie joins! - 2008/02/23 10:23 I have a little girl from Julie at Pierces Pogs who is OBSESSED with TP tubes to the point that she'll run around with them on her head until she is tuckered out and will just sit there... but if you pull her tube off she runs right back in! I can't imagine her snubbing her nose at them Ava's mom!

Nope, I'm sorry to ruin the chain! But my boy Tweetle absolutely loves tubing, and I got him from HH! **Mommy of Tweetle the hedgehog!**
