We looked after a baby hedgie we found on our patio after the first frost of the winter about 10 years ago. It was far to small to hibernate so it got taken to the vets to be de-fleaed and wormed, then it lived in a cardboard box in our bathroom for the winter, getting fat on tasty dog food and treats.

Come the spring a huge and healthy hog was released into the wild as per the instructions from St Tiggywinkles (the famous hedgehog hospital).

Euro hoggies dont need heat, but they like to hibernate when its too cold.

I cant believe you found these gorgeous little things in pet shops over here. How cute is Pharoah, so dark and cute. He does look like a right little grump tho bless him. :lol:

I could babysit Turbo for you if you get another baby! I promise to bring him back. Heeeeeeeee

 

[strawberryfields]

Suuuuure you'll bring him back Shetland. Hahaha :lol:

Those long-eared hedgies are just so cute! I love how they kind of have whites around their eyes. The little African ones do too, but you can only see them sometimes.
