It’s been WAY too long since we posted a hedge

by Meg on May 28, 2008

People, if there was an AKC for hedgehogs (who knows, there prolly is!) this hedge would win points for his:

1. PERFECT moist nosicle
2. curled paw/claw
3. Teeniest of hoggular muzzlepowshes

Oh, and that his name is "Truffles"

On second thought, we won’t hold that against you, Nancy T. ;)

I couldn’t resist: I had to beep that cute little nose!

What a cutie!

3 Kris 05.28.08 at 6:31 pm

Now, THIS is cute. What a nice little smile he has going on.

4 metsakins 05.28.08 at 6:39 pm

that nosicle! I believe it is illegal in several states! at the very least there should be a warning about possibly inducing a coma and THUD

5 Arvay 05.28.08 at 6:40 pm

His nose is an upside-down heart. :)

6 Seven Paws 05.28.08 at 6:40 pm

That little footlet is absurdly small!

7 bleenann 05.28.08 at 6:46 pm

Truffles? TRUFFLES!!?!!?!! I lof heem.

8 Fegli 05.28.08 at 6:51 pm

My friend has a hedge named Ziggy Stardust <3 I think THAT'S pretty qte. Hedges are just adorable in general, though.

9 Ponygirl 05.28.08 at 6:56 pm

HOly crapola that is a cutie!

10 Nissa 05.28.08 at 6:59 pm

Okay, I just had a tiny epiphany that hedges look like Pomeranians.

I just needed to share that eureka like moment.

11 harlemgrrl 05.28.08 at 7:00 pm

WANT!

12 grr 05.28.08 at 7:07 pm

Oh yeah? And how painful is it when you stab yourself on that “cutie”??

13 leannrose 05.28.08 at 7:09 pm

They do look like pom-poms! Who’d have thunk pom-pom’s could get any smaller?

14 ThreeCatNight 05.28.08 at 7:16 pm

That is one cute hedgie.
I like that Mona Lisa smile.

15 Kari 05.28.08 at 7:18 pm

I beg to differ with the hovertext — this lil cutie has much cuter eyes than the Itty Bitty Kitty Committee cat, whose eyes were blue BTW.

16 bleenann 05.28.08 at 7:21 pm

Kari, I think the comparison is that both will OWN YOUR SOUL!!!

17 riolinda 05.28.08 at 7:31 pm

I want a hedgehog named Truffles! :)

18 Rosalynde 05.28.08 at 7:33 pm

Truffles is rockin’ the BEF!!!!!!!!

19 Marie 05.28.08 at 7:35 pm

Yes, Meg…Way too long for hedgies. Don’t let it happen again! ;D

20 Annie 05.28.08 at 7:36 pm

21 Karen 05.28.08 at 7:42 pm

The ears look very tasty, too!

22 ashley 05.28.08 at 7:54 pm

23 jen 05.28.08 at 8:15 pm

24 AkaneAli 05.28.08 at 8:27 pm

I can’t believe it… my hedge is named Truffle! :P Because he looks like this one, he is all white and dark chocolate mmm dee-liocious!!!

Also has a little mushroom-y nose…

25 AuntieMame 05.28.08 at 8:58 pm

The little peeping ears look like they were cut out of felt and stuck on with glue stick. Like in kindergarten.

26 Mary 05.28.08 at 9:38 pm

He is especially cute for a hedgie!

27 helen 05.28.08 at 9:42 pm

Is that a heg baroo? BAROO?

[No no, what we have here is a head-tilt. "Baroo" is a sound that dogs make. - Ed.]

28 helen 05.28.08 at 9:46 pm

I like how the hairstyle goes with his invisible eyebrows. He looks like a crossover between a pompom and a bat, super qt ones tho!

29 zeldapie 05.28.08 at 9:54 pm

OMG HEDGIES!!

I heart Truffles.

30 Gail 05.28.08 at 10:07 pm

Not particularly a hedgie fan, but this one is definitely squee-worthy!!!

31 taj 05.28.08 at 10:20 pm

Hoggular? Is that the new catch phrase of the summer?

“Hoggular, dude!”

32 Joy 05.28.08 at 10:26 pm

Such a winsome face – love that raccoon mask. He looks like he’s smiling. It’s so nice to see a hedgie since my last hedgie died a week ago.

33 chanpon 05.28.08 at 10:47 pm

*Melts* Look at his cute little smile, but it’s his little one paw grabbing onto the hand that is anerable.

34 Rachel Sweeden 05.28.08 at 11:21 pm

I agree with you 100% Kris I love the smile.

35 sunnymum 05.28.08 at 11:25 pm

Awwwww, he’s sooooooo cute! I lurve his little earsies! I found out they use hedgehogs in the animal research lab because they sent a flyer around advertising a talk they were giving about their research, and here’s the kicker, they adorned the flyer with pics of totally cute, cartoon pics of hedge hogs? Sick? Me thinks so!

36 Theresa 05.29.08 at 12:23 am

(SWOON!) It’s a mid-1940s Disney Studios hedgehog!!

37 Theresa 05.29.08 at 12:24 am

38 Kwistee 05.29.08 at 12:27 am

Oooh, can we pwease have a COXCU of those little hedge-fingers?!?! XD XD XD

39 bucky 05.29.08 at 1:03 am

40 berthaservant 05.29.08 at 2:31 am

In the heart?
Or in the hedge?

41 indigoreiki 05.29.08 at 2:57 am

42 Totalee Puppy 05.29.08 at 3:01 am

BERTHASERVANT-Way to go!
JOY–I’m sorry that you lost your hedgie. I’m glad to know that Truffles is
a comfort.
TRUFFLES-Your proshness is as special and as sweet as your name…MUST BEEP! MUST BEEP! I keep thinking of Wind in the Willows and
a picnic by the river…It’s been too long without a hedgie…It’s been too long without our
gracious Mrs. Picknick and
the cucumber sandwiches and tarts. Welcome back,
dearest friends!

43 Sunshine0460 05.29.08 at 6:26 am

Master Hedge Pig.

45 nads 05.29.08 at 1:29 pm

Hey, is this a repost? I swear I’ve seen the photo before. Oh who cares-double the hedgie goodness!

46 debg 05.29.08 at 4:27 pm

Nissa, you’re so right! They’re poms without the barking, maybe?

Joy, so sorry about your tiggy.

Berthaservant, as always, you rock.

47 RQ 05.29.08 at 5:06 pm

There is an “AKC for hedgies” – hedgies from reputable breeders are registered and have five-generation pedigrees:

48 A 05.29.08 at 11:00 pm

EEEE!!!!

49 Katrina 05.30.08 at 6:20 pm

The International Hegehog Registry is just a must-see, peeps.

50 tee.chi 05.30.08 at 9:52 pm

This hedgehog makes me want to own one!! I want to hug him so bad… too bad hedgehogs are banned from California :( *

51 zer05um 05.30.08 at 11:07 pm

Cute little guy!

And better off than the ‘hog used as a weapon in avery strange assault here in New Zealand.

Somebody threw a hedgehog. Hog and victim are ok. The assailant is in jail.

Who throws hedgehogs. Honestly?

52 Raemie L. 06.01.08 at 5:34 pm
