Look at those great long legs on Thorn! 😯 The only times I’ve seen hedgies, they’ve been prickled up and huffing; I had no idea they had such greyhound legs. Wow!
Hehehe…yeah..actually all hedgies have those legs. When they run, they stand up on those legs and go. Normally you can’t even tell they have legs.
They HATE being bathed and try very hard to stretch and get out. They are supposed to be “stupid” primitive mammals, but I have found that they are anything but dumb.
They see very poorly but the do the Flehmin response with tasting smells, like cats do and they hear very well. I love my hedgies, they are clean, easy to care for (for an exotic) and lovely creatures if handled gently.
Here is a funny picture of how Thorn likes to sleep…
