Hedgie pics!

We got to handle the hedgehog babies yesterday and they are SOOO cute! Some more adventuresome than others and they're ALL girls! Oh and there are three, not two as previously thought. The mother, Penelope, is very protective but a good mother... she didn't eat one of them...

We pulled them out for company today and brought them down to the livingroom.

The quills are a bit pokey!

Up, close and personal...
After they finally woke up a bit, this one wanted to explore. Their eyes aren't all the way open yet. I think another week and they'll be all over the place...
My cousin and his family came for lunch today and this is their daughter, Talitha. She's very brave and was willing to hold one for a little while.
I'm looking forward to cleaning up their stinky little cage tonight! Doesn't THAT sound like crazy talk?!
