My Daughter got her from a friend. She is very quiet. She hisses when she doesn't like something. That's the only sound I have ever heard her make.
She runs a lot on a Hamster Wheel. Mostly at night. She hides a lot....not messy or smelly.
I had never seen one. My 16yo called with one of those "Please Dad" deals and as usual....Dad gave in.
We feed her crushed up hard cat food and baby food....oatmeal once and a while. She eats good out of a spoon. If she gets nervous she rolls into a ball....quills are a little sharp but have never hurt us.
LOL! I've lost track of how many of those "Please Dad" animals we've had over the years! ferrets (pew! :icon_crazy
turtles, geckos, fish, hamsters, dogs, cats, horses, etc, etc.
I have to say that I would have given to one of these guys too! Very cool!
