This ‘Vampire’ Hedgehog Is Instagram’s Newest Star

ADVERTISEMENT

Meet Huff, a 3-year-old rescue African Pygmy hedgehog from Utah whose adorable fangs have earned him a following of 12k people on Instagram. Otherwise known as Sir Hodge Huffington the Cricket Slayer, the cutie-pie was adopted by student Carolyn Parker after his previous owner treated him badly.

“A lot of people in Utah struggle with seasonal depression-including myself,” Parker told Bored Panda. “I started the account because I wanted to share something that made me happy with other people. Huff comes off as being grumpy and “huffy” but is really lovable and cuddly on the inside. I think that’s why there is such a large fan base for hedgehogs…because a lot of people can relate.”

They only live 3-5 years, damn that's short life. I would hate to see my baby gone so soon.

Vampires is not at all like in the movies or books. Sure, I understand. You are young you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a Vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, But how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? kindly contact the vampire kingdom whatsApp at +16029620326 or on their email vampiretemple10@gmail.com

Why are there even hedgehog breeders? Not every animal on the planet should be kept as a pet.

that guy is adorable. we have a male and female hedgehog in seperate enclosures. the male has become the nicest little thing and all he wants are meal worms and to explore, the female is a prick/diva and even when we bribe her with worms/treats she still hates us and wants nothing more than to run on her wheel alone and not be disturbed when shes under her pile-o-blankets.
