why would I be embarassed to say what kind of pet I have?
Would ANY pet that you have embarass you?
I know it wouldn't if I am keeping one..
If you really want to know, I have a hedgehog.
The vet just called me today to see how my pet is doing. It was nice of him to do that.
But when the vet was checking up my pet, he asked me few questions like where would my hedgehog's natural habitat be, or how would they survive winter in the wild when I told him my pet cannot stay cold for long or it'll be very dangerous for her(goes into 'unprepared' hybernation which can be fatal).
He didn't even know that there were different species of hedgehogs in the wild, yet when I called them, they claim to have experiences with hedgehog. The vet was very nice person, but he also gave me impression that my pet is his first ever hedgehog, and it is very questionable if he has any more knowledge about hedgehog than I have. $124 for antibiotic and so called 'checkup' which all can be obtained from any drug store for $20 is overpriced by far and more importantly, I wouldn't want any harm done to my pet from 'inexperienced accident'
