Default Spineless Hedgehog story
I know its not an exotic mammal - but this really fascinated me so thought other people might be interested in it if they havent come across it before

No spines eh. Funny looking without the weaponry arent they?

it reminded me of an aramdillo as well <G> Very odd looking - be interesting to see if they can work out what caused it and see him change back

He is adorable!

I'd look after him, I have over wintered a few autumn juvi hedgies in the past, they weren't to difficult to care for once I'd doned the gardening gloves during cleaning!!Wouldn't need them wih him but he is such a sweetie tho!!

No he's not!! Haggis have one leg longer than the other so they can run round the hills!!
