Afternoon Awwwww… Baby Hedgehogs!
Four. Tiny. Orphaned. Hedgehogs. It would be enough if that’s all it was. But no. No, my friend, that’s not all. They’ve adopted a brush as their mother (their real mother sadly having been killed in a hit and run). The oldest one was found in someone’s backyard gathering up gold coins! The backyards owner was waiting for him to level up, but he never did so they called in the good folks from the Wildlife Park reuniting him with his younger 3 siblings. Ok, I made up the part about the gold coins.
It’s a sad story, at heart. But damn. It’s so freaking cute it makes my teeth hurt. And it’s not the smoothie I just had, or cavities, my hygienist said I had good teeth despite my never going to the dentist. No, it’s just that 2 week old hedgehogs cuddling with a brush is ridiculous.
“There has been a real surge in slugs this year because of the wet weather so hopefully that will mean a good year for hedgehogs too.
Thank god for the surge.
I can’t stop. Look at the li’l feet on that one on the left!

[...] Aiight, boys and grrrls. Get ready for this one. In that crazy, dangerous world just south of down under in New Zealand, a kiwi man (that’s kiwi cause that’s what they call NZ’ers, not because he was half man/half fruit) was arrested for assault. (via) But wait, this terrible crime was perpetrated with the help of… a hedgehog! The man picked up the hedgehog and threw it at a teenager who was hit in the leg. Sadly, the hedgehog which may not have been alive at the time of the attack (which seems likely, unless hedgehogs are a lot slower than other animals) was not alive after it. For happier hedgehog news see here. [...]
