I saw this picture and it reminded me of our pet hedgehogs we had about 6 or 7 years ago.
They are very hard to find, and I found a pet store that was willing to order it.  We took a triip also to NYC where I found a nice fellow on the internet who had a pet hedgehog and was trying to get someone to pay attention to her.
So we had 2 hedgehogs.  They lasted about 4 or 5 months.  We used to let them go on the couch with us  and Jennie would make a tunnel for them to run along.  Our pet cats were curiouis but kept their distance.
How a spikey creature got to be so close to us is beyond me.  When they picked up a cough and passed on it was sad for the whole family.  Their time with us ws a special blessing and I'll aways have a warm place in my heart for these creatures.
