What a really interesting arrangement of spines..............at least you could get close!!( Saw a chap the other day on the side of the road photographing a dead badger)................super colours Pat
@cleanfreak@peggysirk Sorry to say she was attacked, so survived the winter but was caught crossing the lawn last night. We are hoping our dog Tui had nothing to do with it when she went out last thing last night !!!
how sad...hedgehogs simply reflect childhood..for me..and on a note..my camera is like a ladies handbag never far away..though i do not think i have quite danced around it yet..but it does depend on the bubbles blown or is that drunk..
@farmboy9155 Yes she is Darrell all black with a white bit under her chin. She was definitely named after your Tui bird & not the beer !! I hope she was innocent but don't think so !!
We haven't any hedgehogs here - only porcupines. Are hedgehog quills hard or soft-ish? How would a dog get one and not be stuck? Porcupine quills are HORRIBLE and require pliers and a trip to the vet.
@bpaquette I think they are quite soft compared to a porcupine Barbara but usually they curl up when attacked into a round ball but this poor little thing had its face bitten !!! I was so sorry when I saw what had happened !
not sure if you remember the porcupine quills that my dogs go into... very expensive ordeal and two surgeries for my male... having said that, they are very interesting animals!!
Hmmm poor hedgehog, that's quite saddened me :(
