Hi, I recently got a hedgehog.. he seems friendly and loves my boyfriend, but I don't think he likes me.. he will lick me once or twice and then bite down.. what's going on?
 
Lick, lick, chomp is fairly common with hedgies. He may find you tasty or intriguing. Try washing up using an unscented soap before handling. Though there are some body parts that seem to attract chomping more that others - for example, arm pits. All you can do is gently reposition hedgie away from those areas.
