My boyfriend is coming over today to help assemble Oscar's C&C habitat. The coroplast is going to have to wait til tomorrow, as I have searched high and low in a variety of stores trying to avoid having to purchase from a sign store, to no avail. 
Good news is, there is a store right around the corner from my work that will sell me some. I can go on my lunch break. Woohoo!
My question: What is considered a 'good' temperment for a hedgie? Oscar is pretty decent, will stop being all pissy within maybe 3-4 minutes of having him out of his cage. He doesn't bite (yet, lol), and it's not really hard to coax him out of his ball stage. He crawls around on me, explores, burrows, etc. The only aggressive noise I've heard out of him is a nose-hiss. I haven't heard squealing or clicking, and the nose-hiss stops once he comes out of his ball state.
Is this considered a decent temperment? Or could it possibly get better? I just don't know what the best to hope for might be. A hedgie who never has to have a 'warm up' period upon coming out of his cage? He's definitely not mean by any means, and considering he's only been with me since late Thursday night, I would imagine his disposition is going to improve. If it doesn't, it's not like I'm stuck with a hedgie I can't handle, because like I said, after an initial chill out period, he's fine.
Pics of his habitat to come, as it's built!
