When We Picked Up Our Hedgehog We Thought He Hated Us, But Now He Won’t Stop Smiling
Meet Rick, the hedgehog who is always smiling. When we picked up this shy African Pygmy hedgehog from the breeder, he didn’t show us much joy. We used to think, “This hog hates us”...
But then, slowly he opened up and became the most cheerful little fellow who makes me smile even on the worst days. I started taking photos of him because I think he is the cutest thing on earth. Rick always works the camera like a supermodel.
These photos are too adorable not to share. Prepare yourself for a serious cuteness overload!

These pictures are cute, but I'm really not sure how I feel about hedgehogs as pets. They are wild animals, not domesticated ones. If you find an underweight one and feed it up during winter, you are supposed to release it back into the wild come spring.
These are wild animals that need their habitat preserved. Far too often wild animals are "harversted" by destroying habitat, slaughtering parents, and then stealing the surviving young animals / eggs. #2 Do you really know what this animal's smile means? Really? It could just as easily be a sign of stress....
Hedgehogs are very difficult pets. I have my Felix because he was bought by a 12 year old girl who didn't believe me when I told her they dont warm up to people well. He was purchased and then left in a dirty cage because he didn't like being handled. I took him home, and keep his cage clean, feed him a well balanced diet. He let's me pet him behind his ears and rub his chin. But boy is it a pain in the a*s to clip his nails or give him a bath. Get a rat. They're smarter, more friendly and actually enjoy human interaction.
