Found this little bundle asleep in the sun yesterday afternoon, those spikes were sharp...ouch
Oh so cute!!! I want him I want him I want him
Do you think it is a baby? Is his face as dark as it looks from here? Wonder why he was in the open - Maybe he doesn't know that hedgehogs are supposed to hide in the hedges 
I would guess that it is just about old enough to be making it's own way in the world. They sometimes get caught out in the open when they are looking for somewhere to call home. Yes the face really is that dark.
Our African Pigmy's face is almost white and I think has a longer nose. Those Brit HH faces' are the cutest! We have only one hoggie still living - the others having exceeded their expected life span long ago. She is getting somewhat decrepit in her last years, but is never too poorly to miss a meal.
You remind she is due for a summer pic. Must remember to do that soon.
I wondered if you still had her, I feel a touch of deja vue coming on with all this hoggy talk.
Yes, nice memories too
Here's an update 
Cat taming is thirsty work. 
I keep thinking that I'm being duped and that isn't a real hedgehog. It is so different to ours, the spines are much neater, the eyes much larger and the ears more prominent. very refined it is too, taking tea and pobs on a chair.
Pobs? Now I need something cleared up, terry.
Its all yours Terry
Are those Hedgehogs pets or just tame wild animals, like my deer and Maggies mouse? Maggies is real and not garden statuary?
Don't laugh, but I couldn't figure out what Terry was holding when the picture was first posted. I thought maybe a huge catepillar
Yes, mine is real - honest - I'll take pic of her in diff positions next time , so Terry will know she really is real ;-)
Pods, Gail is a local term for bread soaked in milk, wrongly used as a feed for hedgehogs, they like me are lactose intollerant. cat food is far better, but don't let the cats know I told you.
I remember that that's what everyone used to put out in their gardens to attract the sweet prickly bad-bug eaters, before they knew better... but I never heard it called that - pod or pobs - its up there both ways,, and I wonder where the name comes from?
Okay, I found a pic of our last hedgie, taken last winter - doing what ceramic figurines can't
