You may accidentally harm your hedgehog if you react too strongly. This may cause you to drop or throw your hedgehog. This is easier said than done, but try and hold your composure. This will not only harm your hedgehog, but also conditionally teach it to fear you. A verbal reaction like “Ow!” or “Oh!” (or maybe even a swear!) will verbally condition the hedgehog that it will get a response from you because of a bite. This may teach the hedgehog to bite you further to elicit a response. Further, a loud verbal response might scare your hedgehog. This is a gentle way to discourage your hedgehog from its behavior. This will not harm the hedgehog and will teach it that biting is not something it should be doing. Try distracting your hedgehog if it is nipping you. This could be gently moving your hand or trying to gets its attention with a soft verbal cue. Remember, hedgehogs are curious so it may just be exploring and not biting! Do not immediately put the hedgehog back in its cage.  This teaches the hedgehog that it can go back to its safe space after doing something mean. This is cruel to your hedgehog and may hurt his health. Always feed and water your hedgehog appropriately.  Your hedgehog should always have a supply of clean water. You should be feeding your hedgehog a high protein, low grain diet.

Summary: Try not to react violently. Never hit or flick your hedgehog! Avoid verbal reaction. Blow a puff of air at your hedgehog after a bite. Resume normal behavior. Do not withhold food or water as punishment.
