Hedgehog kills her hoglets!

Where I come from - England - hedgehogs live wild and we would never keep them as pets..... Would you bring in a racoon, skunk or possuum?

These are mini hedgehogs, not quite the same as your big ones.

I'd keep a de-scented skunk. Cute buggers, they are.

Skunks are high maintenance so they are best kept by someone who doesn't work outside the home. Their first 3 months of life they need to be with their person just about 24/7. And, like ferrets, skunks are theives and hoarders. Missing a curling iron? Skunk took it.

As opposed to coons, who do their mischief right out in the open.

or crows. My grandfather used to tell us about a pet crow he had as a child. Anything shiny he would hide in his nest.

Diet can play a role as well, what sort of diet do you have her on?
