There is a new addition to the household! A tiny baby African hedgie, chocolate pinto female, currently installed in the bathtub for safety. Felicity, the original hog, is getting along with her just fine, as most female hedgehogs do. However, I am cautious about putting Newbie (that's a placeholder name; she'll get her real name soon) into Felicity's cage, because that has been strictly Felicity territory. There can be fights and biting. Newbie is vastly different in size from Felicity, so I am definitely feeling protective.
Newbie is an explorer. A tuber extraordinaire! As you can see from the pictures. She is amazingly social for a tiny thing. The breeder says that her litter seemed to have exceptional eyesight, and she does seem to see better than Felicity does.
Needless to say, I LOVE her. She and Felicity have been tubing in the tub together! See next posts.
