Click here to see the profile of this user 		i have a lazy hedgie - 2008/02/03 10:25 penelope is one of the "sleepy" hedgies. anytime you check her cage she's asleep. and whenever you take her out and put her on your lap she falls asleep. but tonight was different. not that she became active. but this time she was fully awake and sniffing the air around her. not moving from her spot, of course, but AWAKE! whoo! she looked like she was some rich trophy wife lounging on the sofa (me) while she looked around. then she's look up at me, look somewhere else, stick her face in my clothes, look up again, all while lying down.

is this too weird a hedgie? she's so lazy!! Katherine Y

You can try to motivate her by scattering some treats for her to 'hunt'. Sounds like she was smelling something interesting - were you cooking, cleaning or having visitors? Stasi

If you just got your hedgehog, then she is probably a baby, and much like a human baby, she will sleep a lot.

Dimming the lights and turning down the noise might make her more willing to get up and play.
