I absolutely love these little Pygmy Hedgehogs, they are soooooooooooooo cute!!! <\/p>\n<p>I looked into it but I couldn&#8217;t find anyone in Holland who breeds them and it was too expensive to buy one in the UK and have it shipped over.   Yes I KNOW we already have too many <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breigh.com\/wordpress\/pets\/\" target=\"_blank\">pets<\/a> but I can&#8217;t help it, it&#8217;s what I love.    If I could I&#8217;d have another dog, two rats, a hedgehog, a tree frog and a couple of lizards.   So in comparison, two cats, a dog and two turtles doesn&#8217;t sound so bad, does it? <\/p>\n<p>Last night Xander came in from walking the dog saying &#8220;<i>PUT ON SOME PANTS AND GRAB THE CAMERA!<\/i>&#8221; &#8230;.  Uhhhh ?!<\/p>\n<p>Hey it was like 10pm, I&#8217;m allowed to not wear pants at that hour!    I was still a bit confused though.<\/p>\n<p>This is why he was in such a hurry to get me IN my pants and OUT the door&#8230; <\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/breigh\/220373829\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/80\/220373829_0bb035b0a2.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Hedgehog\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>OMG how cute is he?!!!<\/p>\n<p>No, he&#8217;s not ours&#8230; well not technically anyway.  I have tried to claim him but he&#8217;s wild so I&#8217;m not sure he&#8217;s going to take to it so well.   Plus, I don&#8217;t want to touch him cuz I&#8217;m scared he has fleas.  I just <i>say<\/i> he&#8217;s mine, cuz I&#8217;m a nut.   I think I&#8217;m going to call him George, as it seems fitting with me acting like that annoying cartoon girl who wants to squeeze every animal she sees.<\/p>\n<p>Xander has said he&#8217;s seen a wild hedgehog around our building a few times, but I thought he was just yanking my chains and toying with my hedgehog love&#8230; but he really does exist!   I can&#8217;t believe he let us get this close to him, I was sure that as soon as my feet hit the grass he&#8217;d be off like a whore&#8217;s drawers, but he just sat there.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s much bigger than the pygmy hedgehogs but equally as cute!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever since I my friend Shirley told me she got a hedgehog &#8230; or no wait, ever since I saw a photo of him&#8230; I&#8217;ve wanted one!
