    I love the little hedge puppies, they kinda look like pugs for the first little while. My father has a small breeding and rescue thing and every time there’s a batch I’m right there.

    Ypu’de think it’d get old after a while, but it doesn’t

    This ones very, very young though. I’m suprised they were able to get to it

        That they are, spikes and all. Interestingly though the spikes are soft and blunt when born but quickly harden a bit after birth so the mother isn’t birthing a ball of nails, more like a ball covered in gummy works that then stiffen, harden, and sharpen after birth

      My old hedgehog surprised me by seemingly intentionally showing me her fresh young a few days after birth. She opened up the nest when I came over to refill her water and then crawled on my lap with them exposed.
