Very cute but not as pets.Felicity Grace Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17852843882007267665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-23683284056362174882009-05-14T22:32:00.000+01:002009-05-14T22:32:00.000+01:00Oh, Petty, that is so sad.

I look at it this way... if you can get that close to the exotic, then is isn't anymore. <br /><br />I have often wished I could live in England simply for the Hedgehogs. Well, for other reasons too, but that's not a realistic wish. I did get to see a hedgehog in the garden of a lady I stayed with once. Needless to say, I was thrilled. Doesn't take much for me. ;-)susan s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03679099677585214433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-50338039105864453812009-05-14T21:53:00.000+01:002009-05-14T21:53:00.000+01:00How I wish that was true Susan.

I've been looking at quite a few blogs where hedgehogs were listed as an interest and I was shocked and dimayed to learn that a lot of American people seem to keep them as pets, I even found 1 blog where a woman actually bred and sold them. They are wild animals and don't make good pets - for one thing they are nocturnal and, secondly, in their natural habitat, need to hibernate.Felicity Grace Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17852843882007267665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-86871186324365397162009-05-14T21:12:00.000+01:002009-05-14T21:12:00.000+01:00Thanks for posting this Petty.
