It's A Boy

I got my hedgehog today, he was born 10-5-04, he is an African Pygmy...

(This is what he looks like, it's not hom, but very close in color...)

I named him Einstein...

Wonder what he'll name you :hmm: Worzel perhaps :crackup:

Somehow scarecrows and hedgehogs just seem to go together.

Congratulations on the new family member. I can see the family resemblence. :: Takes after his Father. :crackup:

You lucky do...er scare...er whatever! :master: I'd love to get a hog of the hedge. Problem is, it would probably kill and eat my two chihuahua dogs.

...never hearing of someone getting a hedgehog, do I assume it's a pet...like a hamster or something?

Black nose, dark eyes, spiky hair.

He may be adopted, but he's your spittin image. :thumbsup:

Jake has only one toy that survives. He chews everything else to powder, but his hedgehog survives and is his buddy. He got a fetch toy for Christmas - two tennis balls with a 3/4" plastic rod connecting them. He snapped the rod in half within seconds of catching it! We have to get the black rubber "wolf" toys . . . for a 35 lb dog. :shocking:

Hedgehogs are considered exotic pets, unlike porcupines, the "quills" of the hedgehogs are not barbed...

They are nocturnal (like me) and this breed only gets as big as a small hamster...

Oh, what fun it was to give it a bath once I got it home, the owners of the pet store smoked and the little critter reeked of cigarettes...

Anyway, I will post some actually pictures of him at a later date, they don't like the scanner...

If he sheds his quills, can you use it to decorate sheaths, quivers, or mocassins?

:hmm: Hmm, never thought of that... :winking:

Musketman,
Have you tried dropping a cricket down that dirty musket barrel, sending the dampened Sir Hedgehog in, and calling him back out? :winking: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup:

Period correct bore brush????? :sorry:, couldn't help it.


Congrats on your new son,
Terry

Hmmmm....interesting. If'n you had to eat him on a trek, you'd have built-in toothpics...

Looks pretty cool.

 

[kentucky bucky]

Bet you don't rub him the wrong way! :crackup:

 

Kinda looks like a chia pet on steroids! :crackup:

Oh my God. Those mushrooms my wife cooked up for supper up must not have been right. :shocking:
