Dear little hedgehog,

If you love running, but hate running with too-long nails, why do you put up such a fight against getting your nails trimmed? See how much farther you ran last night after I ambushed you in broad daylight to trim your nails? Now, please let me finish your front left foot without eating the nailclippers.

Love,
Your human

 

[Annie&Tibbers]

To my smallest friend,

Huff and puff all you want: your bandanna-dragging reveals your true affection. You gave yourself away when you dragged your me-scented bandanna through your tunnel network to watch you wheel, back through the tunnels to join you at dinner, and into the tunnels once more after that to bring it to your pigloo for a sleepy-snuggle.

Love,
Your smelly, smelly human

*omg these are adorable... I have to whisper so as not to bother Tibbers and her bandana dragging*

 

[JessHog613]

To my quilled babies,
Mommy and daddy love you, even when you find the grossest things in the whole world to anoint with

 

[Annie&Tibbers]

Little one,

When I brought you home seaweed and hay as souvenirs from my trip without you, I expected maybe a few polite-curiosity sniffs. I did not expect you to lunge across my lap and snatch the offerings out of my fingers. Are seaweed and hay a symbolic bouquet for hedgehogs, like a dozen red roses for humans? Did I just propose?

Your illiterate human

 

[Annie&Tibbers]

Tiny friend,

You don't have a passport, would hate airplanes, and are illegal at my destination. Now stop sulking and give me a cuddle.

Love,
Your vanishing human

Dear my spiky cuddle ball,

You don't need to put up a puffing match every time i bring someone other then me into my room, or "your room", to enjoy your adorableness. Then as soon as they leave, and you don't smell them anymore, you lay your quills down and look at me, then climb into my lap and fall asleep instantly. I would never bring anyone near you that would hurt you.

Lots of love your human

 

[Sonics1AndOnlyGirl]

Dear Little Hedgie

I wish you understood that I mean you no harm. I just wanna give you my love. I hope some day in the future you understand and won't ball up and hiss when I pick you up for snuggles.

Your human

 

[Tom]

Dear sweet little hedgie,

Why must you age so slowly? I just want you to come home and enjoy all this hard work I put into your home and making stuff for you.

Please age faster,

Love- your daddy

 

[ajweekley]

Dear ball of cutes,

You don't have to be so self-conscious. Everybody does it. Most folks don't do it on my kitchen counter, but peeing is just part of life. You don't have to freeze and act like you're panicking. It's really ok. I can clean it up.

Love,
Your washcloth-having human

 

[sweetergrrrl]

Dearest little Dosa,

Just because you are in my lap, under the table where I can't see you... Doesn't mean I can't smell it when you poop.

Love,
Your Litterbox Lap

 

[Annie&Tibbers]

My fastidious friend,

I know going in the wheel is a totally normal hedgehog characteristic.
I know preferentially pooping in a litter box is a thing some hedgehogs do, and others don't.
I know that occasionally your brethren can be extraordinarily tidy in their adventures, although it is fairly rare.

But really, you need one wheel for waste, and another for running, so you don't get your feet messy? I understand that poop-boots aren't the most stylish accessory, but that does seem a wee bit picky.

Love,
Your indulgent human

 

[Annie&Tibbers]

To my fleecy ghost,

Just because you hide under your blankie doesn't mean I can't see you as you scoot around the room.

Ever observant,
Your spying human

 

[Tom]

Dear my not-so-skinny baby,

Hiding under your fleece liner does not mean I cannot see you. You are not the skinniest hedgie in the world- but I love you anyway. Now stop flipping your food bowls over after you eat every time.

Love, Daddy #1 and Daddy #2

 

[ajweekley]

Dear poop machine,

I know you don't understand human emotions, but a snuggle would have been sufficient. I truly didn't need your stinky present on my shoulder. Thanks for the thought though.

Love,
Your personal jungle gym

 

[cavalcante]

Dear Francisco,

I know that daddy smells really interesting but you need to stop "tasting" him. He does not find it amusing. You're chompers are sharper than they look.

Sincerely,

The normal smelling one.

 

[Annie&Tibbers]

My stylish hoglet,

I, too, love high heels. I just don't normally dive into them nose-first.

To each their own,
A foot-first human

 

[AnnabellasMomma]

Dear Hedgie baby number 1,

I baught you a hut so you could have a space of your own, yet you still sleep under the fleece beside the hut....

I love you Reagrdless,
Your confused Momma

Dear Hedgie baby # 2

I just want to give you love, why must you reject it? Also why must you poop on all my friends?

You are a special fella,
Love your Momma

 

[Annie&Tibbers]

My freshly-scrubbed hedgehog,

If you poop and immediately sit in it, squishing it into your quills, you're going to go right back into the bath, even if you're still wet from the last one.

Unsympathetically,
Your strict human

 

[eoponygirl]

Dear my little cuddle-dork, (Meeko)

When you crawl up my shoulder and lick the back of my neck, it may be oh-so cute but I do have to take you down from there because it tickles and I don't want you to fall. I promise I'm not just being a big meanie-pants.

Sincerely,
Your worrywart mommy


Dear little grumpy pants, (Truffles)

Just because I take out your wheel does not mean it is gone forever. I promise I am just cleaning it because you have absolutely destroyed it with your poops and I WILL put it back. Also, you can bite and huff and puff all you want, but I know you are realizing how much I love you after the rough life of mean owners you have had. When I hold you in a little ball in the palm of my hand after I have managed to clip a few nails, you look at me and I can see the love in your little beady eyes.

Sincerely,
Your lovestruck and cleaning mommy
