I've
wanted a hedgehog for some time now. A few weeks ago I
finally bought one. This thing is so neat looking, I couldn't
stop staring at it at the pet store. In fact, I visited
the pet store two consecutive days before I decided to go ahead
and purchase it. And when I finally did, the owners didn't want
to let the thing go. I sent two pictures so you can see how
amazing he actually looks, but it still doesn't do
justice; for seeing it live is a whole 'nother matter. After
sunset watching what looks like a softball zigzagging all over
the dark grass, this thing is just way too cool for school.
Pokey runs like the dickens when he gets outside and doesn't
want to go back inside. He likes to hide in his hunter green
small chube (in fact, he almost lives in the thing). He is
affectionate when he is sleeping during the day, but besides
that, he would rather run outside in the dark. He also doesn't
like getting picked up, and since he is quilling (when a young
hedgehog starts to shed their baby quills and replace them with
their adult quills), his quills are hurting a lot more than when
I got him at the pet store. And... the ladies that live in the
apartment think he is the cutest thing, because he gets into a
defensive ball and his head pokes out.
