Alice thought she had never seen such a curious croquet-ground in herlife: it was all ridges and furrows: the croquet balls were livehedgehogs, and the mallets live flamingoes, and the soldiers had todouble themselves up and stand on their hands and feet, to make thearches.

The chief difficulty Alice found at first was in managing herflamingo: she succeeded in getting its body tucked away comfortablyenough under her arm, with its legs hanging down, but generally, justas she had got its neck nicely straightened out, and was going to givethe hedgehog a blow with its head, it would twist itself round andlook up in her face, with such a puzzled expression that she could nothelp bursting out laughing…

awwww, I lurve the ear-flaps in #3!
Be sure to moisten the nosicle Alice for that extra spin.
D’aww!
Such sweet little babies!
Now I want a hedgie so I can beep that little nosicle, or pet those little bitty feets!
Those ears are *amazing*!
I was just ooohing over the ear folds in the third pic, and apparently I went hypersonic because my cat stopped chewing on his toy to look at me.
The EARS! Such big hedgie flappers!! So adorable. I love the sawdusty feets!!
Umm..SEVENZIES!! lmao
Prickly Cuties.
Brilliant!!
Oh they have the most darling little faces! <3
1) O my gosh they’re perfect little spheres of cute! I want one so bad!
2) Shameless, flagrant plug – my boyfriend made me a Wonderland specimen kit for my birthday (tomorrow!) and if you like Alice, you might like this… he gave it to me last night, so, perfect timing!

Oh, how I love the folded over ears of the third hedgie! Noisicle the Moisicle!
Cutest hedgehog EVER, oh man!! That second picture had me wanting to face-squish with my monitor!
It’s as if he fused with a baby fennec.. http://www.juliesjungle.com/pictures/fennec5.jpg
Hehehe… So bristly yet so fluffy!!
OMG!1!!!1!!
HEDGIE FEETSIES!
**HEAD EXPLODED**
kudos…..quite a story!!!!
lovely little hedgehog!
This little guy takes the cake…he is officially the cutest hedgie I have ever seen…the ears kill me. And the expression. He’s just…so fricken adorable!!!! Unbelievable! If they could make a plushie if him, with a popple style thing with the folding into a ball aspect…I would be one happy me!
Judge Reinhold in a mullet! That is the cutest thing I have ever seen. EVAR. Pairs up perfectly with the flamingoes in the loo from the other day, too.
I love hedgies!! And so does my cat. I have a hedgie that I got in Scotland that is wearing a little tam and playing “Scotland the Brave” on his bagpipes (I know, I know, but I couldn’t resist). It had sat on my dresser for 9 year and when I (finally!) got my cat I had to put it away in a drawer because the silly cat would carry it around. Anyway, I guess that is as close as I will ever get to having a hedgehog.
I especially love the little brow wrinkle in pic #3. He looks so earnest!
I have to say I am very disappointed in this site for promoting cruelty not only to hedgehogs and flamingos, but most importantly to playing card soldiers!
That being said, that is the cutest hedgehog ever!
I literally awwww’ed for half a minute non-stop. This is just…OVERLOAD.
The ears win. The little fuzzy soft ears. I need to touch them to verify their fuzzy softness. It’s just for scientific precision, you understand. Awwwww.
I have a stuffed hedgie that rolls into a ball
and that is only one of the hedgehog
collection that I have been adding to since
my first “artificial” hedgie in the early ’70’s
when very few people knew what about
hedgehogs!
Hedgehogs have EARS? Seriously, I never noticed! Aww.. this is the cutest thing ever
Can I has plz?
Arabian Long-Eared hedge FTW!
GAH!
Eeeeeeeee! Toes! Toes!
Total fail versus cute results in the following:
This l’il hedgie went to market
This l’il hedgie stayed home
This l’il hedgie ate meal worms
And this l’il hedgie had none
And this l’il hedgie curled up in a ball
And roll, roll rolled away home!
XD
Mmmm…makes me want to pop him in my mouth! Nom nom.
Oooh! Soooo cute!
So spherical!
and moistly nosiclish.
“Alice soon came to the conclusion that it was a very difficult game indeed”
So she said “Sod this for a game of Soldiers” and went down the Pub.
Raise a paw if you remember Popples! Clearly what we have here is a hedgie-popple hybrid. Very rare.
Lewis Carroll is tha bomb! And so is the hedgiepig!
Soooo cute!!!! I want to pop him in my mouf—uh wait a minute….
You could stop wars with that kind of ammo.
“it rubs the lotion on its skin, or,”
needs a lil burts bees on them little feeties.
oh, and wee_squirrel, i’m thinkin someone likes you…. a lil bit.
This is the cutest and classiest post and…and…
HEDGIE AWARDS for these
comments:
WBIRDIE for “This l’il hedgie went to market”…
BINKY-MAMA for “uh wait a minute”…
JAI for “Can I has plz?”…
NUFFER for “disappointed”…
Generally, European hedgehogs are not quite as cute as African pymgy hedgehogs, but these 3 babies are some of the cutest I’ve ever seen. The first one looks like Obi on Star Wars, second one looks like a cheery puppy and the third hedgie has a very doggy expression and look. Jai, yes, hedgie ears are really soft. My hedgies used to let me stroke their ears and they were like velvet, and some ears can be huge and other hedgie ears pretty small. My hedgies either had very dainty ears or very large ears but they were all very soft.
He looks like a sea urchin in that last picture.
Are you people trying to freaking kill me, this week?!?! OMG! First the ‘mingers, now the hedgie, and my favorite part of “Alice”! Aaarrrrggghhh!
oh so cute little feet all ready to be kissed.
soft little fluffy sides to rub against my cheek and those
ears and ooohh my God!!!
Hedgehog pockets!!!
I want one!!!
somebody pleese tell me where can I get my own hedgehog pocket.
I want one gotta have one
I just about died at the second hedgie, but that fennec fox is truly overload.
Nice Wonderland kit, that is extraordinary!
Alice wondered why they kept the flamingos in the men’s restroom.
OH MY GODS!!!!!!
Wow.
OHMYGOD. I need to move somewhere that has hedgehogs, I really do.

Your boyfriend is so cute, so romantic, and sooo in love with you
he’s shouting it from the roof tops.
I use to do my shopping at night when I got off work.
I worked the 3 to 11 shift
and often I would see the same people there shopping. There was this elderly couple who always shopped together. They were so in tune with each other
and it never ceased to cause a lump in my throat.
They both would push the grocery cart with their hands laid on top of each others.
I don’t know either of you but I feel that you both are as blessed in love as they were.
Fact: Lewis Carroll’s real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. He was a rather prominent mathematician and religious scholar (his text on “symbolic logic” is apparently still considered an important work in that field).
Fact: THAT HEDGIE HAS PINK LEEEPS!!!!! (photo 2)
Ugh. I can’t believe I’m about to nuff. I was totally in squee mode. Went to this person’s photostream to see if this was one little hedgie in three different poses, or three different hedgies. When I read how these pictures came to be made, it pissed me off. ‘Nuff said. I’m done nuffing.
Hey it’s Yoda!!!
Asploded. S/he looks like a prickly bat in the first pic. The last one had me LOL’ing. S/he pulled all the covers up and peeked out.
*Goes to Wee_Squirrel’s blog and checks it out* -
*Reads: M.i-s-k-a-t-o-n-i-c”.
Cthulhu!!!
Well, wee-squirrel, I’m deeply impressed with the kit and with the wit with which the kit was put together (try saying that one fast). Happy Birthday.
Oh, and cute little hedgies.
What’s going on with those ears??!
Super cute!
OMFG!!! WANT!!!
This is the cutest thing on the internets.
Besides Christian the Lion. <3
