One of the spiky babies…….

Dear Readers,
Just a quick note to tell you all that we got a rare opportunity to photograph one of the baby hedgehogs this afternoon. They are six days old today and are doing very well. Mother Jemima is an exceptional mother and we are very happy with the progress of this little family.
We discovered a hoglet out of the little house a fair distance away from where it was born. We are not quite sure why the baby was out, an unusual situation and normally not a good indication. However, with very careful hands-off inspection we could not find any problems, so baby was gently ferried back to the house where its siblings and mother were. Once at the entrance, the little hoglet crawled back in and all was fine. At this age the hoglet is still deaf and blind - but still very cute! Enjoy the pictures…..
