AMY – IS THAT YOUR HEDGEHOG?
No, it’s an albino hedgehog owned by a lady who owns a bookstore in Friday Harbor, WA.
I miss my hedgehog.
I don’t know if you remember me, but from the pictures, the name, and the hedgehog, i figured out that I used to live 2 doors up from you!! I was the little long haired girl with the hippie-ass mom lol. I just wanted to address the fact that I knew you I guess, and I also wanted to inquire about acquiring a pet hedgehog, and whether or not it is proper to have them with cats, because I remember you had an awesome one, and I can’t find any information besides they are illegal in PA.
