Hedgehog blossoms from blob to blessing
A woman in Texas had plenty of experience caring for rescued animals, but when a friend brought her a sickly baby hedgehog, even she wasn’t sure how to take care of it. So she searched the Internet for a crash course in hedgehog care, and soon she helped the little pink blob grow into a healthy hedgie she named Wilbur and made a part of her animal family.

The rescuer has definitely earned what is clearly Wilbur’s undying devotion.
Perhaps Melissa is the true Hedgie-Gro™ Difference!

Such a sweet little guy. Wilbur looks like an African pygmy hedgehog, the kind people have for pets, rather than a native North American model, but I’m just guessing. Does anyone know for sure?
Was that a heffalump toy on his belly? 🙂
I was curious about North American hedgehogs so I did some research. There aren’t any. Hedgehogs have been introduced in North America as pets. I saw my first hedgehog in France! It was either a “hérissonne” or “hérisson”! Très adorable!
I learn something new every day on this site! Cool!
