What a sweet hedgie!

Ya I bought them. They were only three dollars each. When I was younger we had this house that was totally infested with roaches and it was so discusting. I hated it! YUCK! I have always like water bugs though, the bigger roaches you find in California and what not, but I don't like the German roaches. I like these because they don't run away from you, and they aren't dirty. They are pretty clean animals, don't bite and plus I like to get them to hiss. They are pretty cool. I used to have some girls a while back, but they got out and I accidently squished them. The thing is, even if you squish them they can still live, so they were walking around with their butts paper thin. I felt bad so I fed them to my praying mantid, and I cried. What was sad is that my mantid died a few months later, which made me really sad. I loved my prangy girl so much. People don't think you could love a bug, but I really did love my Prangy. She was the best bug ever.

I loved watching her hunt her food. She was lightening fast. She was always so tame and I would take her with me around the house, and she would just sit on my shoulder. She was really smart, and I even thought she knew her name. I kept her alive longer than most people could, which made me happy. When I knew it was her time to do, I put her outside for some sun and she died.
