Bye bye baby 'veggie'

Our latest litter of baby hedgehogs have finally come of age to go to their new homes. 

It is bitter sweet, especially this special baby girl hedgehog.

She and hatchling no2 were good buddies.

I hope her new family enjoys her as much as we have.

Veggie Update

Hatchling no5 is at that precious age where articulates himself very well; however, certain sounds do not roll off the tongue quite so easily.

Hence, the hedgies are veggies in our house.

Many a Mr.Bloom song rendition is sung to these spikey babies.

They are growing and filling out quickly, just for our own recollections, these babies are 9 days old in the photos.

All three have homes waiting for them, so we have only a short while that we have to spend with them.

I have been trying to emphasise this to the hatchlings, as they have a tendency to accumulate creatures furry and feathered.

Well done mama veggie, you have such beautiful babies.

Mama hedgehog has had babies!

We've been a busy household over the summer, and in addition to the terrapins, we've welcomed three hedgehogs. 

Then, last week Henrietta Hoglet, gave birth to 3 chubby baby hoglets!

So proud of you Henrietta! I suppose a certain amount of praise should be reserved for the proud papa, but he is busy courting his new lady.

So wonderful, these little spiky blessings.
