Hello, this is my hedgehog Sonic. He is 9 weeks old and has been our friend for about 1 and a half weeks. He is a social butterfly and has a very positive attitude, he loves being held and sniffing people. His favourite foods are mealworms and silkworms. He loves pushing around his Knuckles the Echidna toy and running around in his tube everywhere. He can often get out of control! Regardless, he is very cute and one of our best friends.
Sincerely,
N.J.
Age 13
