He is very friendly, specially considering he's an adult and hasn't been raised by humans!
He already knows our voices and although he gets scared with noises, he likes laying in bed with me, specially sniffing my hair!
He eats hard cat food, but we also got him a tin of special hedgehog food, kinda like the wet cat food. They love little worms as treats, too, so if he's a good boy we'll get him some.
Matt tried to feed him cornflakes but he doesn't like them as much as he does

How cute! This may be a stupid question, but does his little prickly hairs hurt? Are they hard or soft? I have NO clue haha. I want one regardless!

From what I remember about petting a hedgehog it doesn't hurt if you brush it in the right direction. In '92 there was this whole hedgehog craze because of Sonic the Hedgehog and people would sell them to kids so I guess they couldn't hurt too bad if they did. I even remember a man rolling one around in his hands like a koosh ball.

Oh, I LOVE hedgehogs! I used to go looking for them in the garden when I was little
I couldn't take them inside though - I think keeping them as pets is illegal here. Such a shame

I've got very bad news...
About a couple hours ago my boyfriend found our poor Eddie dead in the bed I had made for him
He was an elder hedgehog and he didn't make it thru hibernation... I'm soooooo sad and I've had tears in my eyes since, I only had him 2 months but he was so cute...
At least he died loved and warm in his bed and not run over by a car like most hedgies die... But I'll miss him.
