And while we're here...some answers to frequently asked questions!

Q: Why do you have a hole in the background cloth in your photographs?

A:

Because I wasn't paying close attention during a group shot.

Q: What is the strange attraction hedgehogs have to tubes?

A:

I don't think hedgehogs do it on purpose. I believe there is a strange suction created when a tube is placed in a hedgie cage. Watch closely as this little girl fights, tries to resist, but to no avail. Her head is sucked right into that tube.

Pink tubes seem to have more suction power than other colors. :)

Q: Is it true that some hedgehogs will try to do EVERYTHING with a tube on their heads?

A:

Yes. :)

Q: Why do hedgehogs anoint?

A: I have no idea. I ask every one of them, and none of them have answered. At least not an answer I can repeat. Theories range from they smell something good, and want to spread the joy, to they smell something bad, and want to spread it on their quills to make them more deadly. Whatever their reason, it is a strong instinct that starts at a very young age. Watch as this baby hedgehog, just a few days old, decides that fingertips are FABULOUS, and he must chew and lick and chew and lick and chew and...then he carefully turns around to get the right camera angle (I shall name him Ham) and annoints. That's Mango's little boy, btw. :)

Q: Do hedgehogs really like bugs?

A: Every hedgehog I've asked this question has answered:

Then run off to find a bug. :)
