The Hedgehog
The hedgehog is a little beast
Who likes a quiet wood,
Where he can feed his family
On proper hedgehog food.
He has a funny little snout
That’s rather like a pig’s,
With which he smells, like us, of course
But also runts and digs.
He wears the queerest prickle coat,
Instead of hair or fur,
And only has to curl himself
To bristle like a burr.
He does not need to battle with
Or run away from foes,
His coat does all the work for him,
It pricks them on the nose.

Jack came to me after being passed through several homes for being “too grumpy”. All he needed was time to adjust and some cuddles, he proved to be one of my sweetest boys. Sadly, he was diagnosed with cancer and had to be put down a little over two months ago. I miss my sweet boy 💕

Gus is a little guy, but such a sweet bean. He was found at a reptile show almost two years ago and was supposed to be my foster baby, but turns out he was just too cute to give up.

Nibbler is a handsome little man who came to me almost two years ago. He had been abandoned in a dumpster, cage and all. He was very grumpy when he first arrived, but now he’s the sweetest 💕
