So how do you stop them from taking a dump anywhere they like?

Git is obsessed... I remember well his tribulations with his cat and the bathtub - you can ask him 'bout that. It is worth it for a laugh...

Hi again,

There's a reasonable amount of care. It's definitely not a pet for everyone, and needs real research before getting one (but what pet doesn't?).

Their staple diet is a high protein/low fat cat food, and then you feed them treats of mealworms, crickets, fruit, baby foods, boiled egg, etc.
They need a warm room: above 72F, otherwise there is a risk of hibernation which apparently might kill them.
The vet bills are more expensive than some others; because hedgies are 'exotics' and vets bills as such.
Then there's the fact that it's a nocturnal animal, so playing with it in the middle of the day isn't really possible. I've been working on taming her, so I've taken her out 1-2hrs each evening (usually between 8-12).

Yes, she's pooped on me quite a bit, but while she's in her cage she generally goes while on the wheel (which means a daily clean ). She also needs a bit of foot bath often enough because she doesn't stop while doing her business, so her feet get dirty. It's worth it though because I know she's having fun!
