SQUEEEEEE!
Baby hedgehog. BABY HEDGEHOG!
For once, not from my kitchen. I saw it bumbling past in the drive and realized it was a little ‘un. And so, of course, I had to run out there and pick it up and scare it out of a year’s growth.
I tried to pick it up without gloves at first — holy cow, those spines are really sharp! It’s a little hard to tell scale here, but this one is about half the size of the adult we’ve been seeing — assuming it’s just the one adult.
Wikipedia tells me pregnancies peak between May and July and gestation is 31 to 35 days. So about right.
Ohmygod LOOK AT THAT LITTLE NOSE!
