Wow, look at those spikes on his head and those itty bitty feetsies! He could probably hear his voice echo in that tube. Hello! (hello)(hello)(hello). You know, those quills will make it hard to get that thing off him, though.
Hey by the way, Twin Cities area Peeps? Right now the Minnesota Valley Humane Society (in Burnsville, off Highway 13) has a hedgie available for adoption: meet Gomez! http://mvhspets.org/node/948
(no word on whether or not there’s also a Morticia, tho… heh)
Last time I watched a bunch of hedgehogs playing, they had tubes stuck on their heads, and some nearby kids felt sorry for them and took the tubes off…and the hedgies promptly got them stuck back on. Apparently tubes are awesome.
She is only sad as I interrupted her tubing with the camera! You can keep on taking away the tube and she keeps sticking her head back in! She had just had a bath, that’s where the wetness comes from, they are usually whiter
I am SO EXCITED to see my little baby finally make cuteoverload!!! I’m sure anyone whose pet has made it feels a similar idiotic glee at their little furry friend becoming famous!
Big Barooos in my house. My 14 year old cockapoo Lucy developed non stop seizures yesterday afternoon. Monday, I had arranged to have her euthanized here at home this morning in a peaceful way in her own bed, but she just couldn’t wait any longer. She’d been sick for a couple of weeks, worsening visibly over last weekend, and on Monday, my vet agreed that she was telling us it’s time. We wanted my son & I to be available to take her, hence our need to wait until today.
Baroooooooo
but aslo glad she’s out of her misery
Please everyone, give your puppers & kittehs & bunnies & hammies & ferrets & snakses and whatever you love an extra snorgle today in memory of our beloved Lucy Goosey who has crossed over the Rainbow Bridge.
Yitzysmommie- I feel for you. My cockapoo Alix had the same seizure issues, she lived a good 13 years. Its hard to see them like that!! She passed about 6 years ago, but not a day goes buy that I dont think of her. I send warm floof your way!! I am so very sorry.
Here’s the classic Uni the Hedgehog youtube video (http://tinyurl.com/5q6dfp) that was on CO previously. Featuring: moist nosicle, teeny pink tongue, happy tubing, kicking feet and Sonic the Hedgehog soundtrack.
That was an awesome video! The squirming to try and turn over was hilarious. Teeny legs just flipping everywhere, rest for a second, and go at it again. That’s NYERHE to the 100th power! Although I bet once he got upright, he’d go, LET’S DO THAT AGAIN!
Yitzysmommie, Hugs from me and all the kitties… So hard when our lovely furry friends have to go…. I hope you had a chance to hold your baby close at the end … I held Darin(our Kitty) until he was gone. it was better for him that way. More Hugs for you
“The tried to make me go to tube-hab
I said–” er…what do hedgies say, anyway? Anything?
Condolences and Baroos, Yitzysmom. We’ve had many a baroo of late for my parents’ nearly-15-year-old corgi, Bethany. She went to corgi heaven (presumably filled with cows to herd and corn chips to crunch)2 weeks ago. She had been a bridesmaid in my wedding (she didn’t contribute much to planning the bridal shower, but she certainly behaved better than anyone else in the wedding party). Furry companions truly are real family members.
he looks like he’s going styrofoam cup home made e-collaring to me.
do you suppose they put that on him so he wouldn’t chew/lick all the medicine off his little leggies?
eastie-
oops missed that, i usually try to read all the posts so that i dont do something stupid like that.
well, i guess she just has a little bit of a ‘cup’ fetish then .
very very cute.
@Aloria- Iz dat a hedgie or a wedgie? Hmmmm?
@Yitzysmommy-So sorry for your loss. My Mr. Picky-cat is gettin up dere at 17, so am tryin to prepare for same, altho he is currently in perfect health. We can just be thankful for their presence while we have them and snorgle them alot (and I do).
@Yitzysmommy: I’m SO sorry about Lucy….My “kids” and I are sending you lots of {{{{HUGS}}}} and many comforting snorgles your way. She was so lucky to be so loved!!!
Dear Yitzysmommie- Clean words cannot connote how I feel about your loss, so I’ll try some dirty ones:
“mulch”, “pond scum”. No, those don’t do it. I’m so sorry for your loss, and my best wishes to you for getting through the first few days. It is a grief process so unlike that for people. I think it is more intense. We are here for you, yeah, we are!
I always think of Suessical the Musical when I hear the word noisicle. Noisicle the Moisicle! I demand someone write it. Andrew Lloyd Webber, get busy!
I’ve had 8 hedgehogs over a number of years and most of them never wanted to go “tubing”. I’ve given tubes to play and it’s like, phfffftt, they rather go hide or poke their noses in my tools. My favorite hedgie used to love to burrow in steel wool. I have seen other hedgies go tubing and it’s hilarious watching them. I recall one stubborn hedgie that did not like it if you pulled off his tube and he would really work to jam that tube back on his head. Hedgies are weird animals but ever so lovable. As for the dirty legs, a good wheeling session will get them all poopy and then it’s time for a hedgie bath! Hedgie wheels are unspeakably poopy after a good run and it’s a lot of work to get them clean.
Debes: cause you guys gots all th’pretty birdies. We gots the prickly little roundy-uppy things. It all balances out in Nature. Californians can’t have ferrets- see, everybody can’t have something, so we gots ta treasure whats we do gots!
hedgediddlihogses- too sweet!

Wow, look at those spikes on his head and those itty bitty feetsies! He could probably hear his voice echo in that tube. Hello! (hello)(hello)(hello). You know, those quills will make it hard to get that thing off him, though.
Did little hedgie get into something or are his feet normally all yellow and slimey like that?

Trisha: We have hedgehogs in our garden & they’re legs are that colouring naturally. Not slimy, furry!

Hedgie is so cute! I love the mouf & nosicle.

So sorry for your loss, Yitzysmommie. Man, it’s never easy even when you know it’s the right time. Barooooo….

I agree with … everyone: MOIST NOSICLE!
Also, happy bridgewishes to Lucy.

From that adorable face to those scrawny and adorable leggsies – perfection!
he looks like he’s going styrofoam cup home made e-collaring to me.
do you suppose they put that on him so he wouldn’t chew/lick all the medicine off his little leggies?
@scooterpants – Look at Nicole’s comment above.
OMG! I’ve seen the hedge at the end of the tunnel!
hmmmm, cute or sad?
eastie-
oops missed that, i usually try to read all the posts so that i dont do something stupid like that.
well, i guess she just has a little bit of a ‘cup’ fetish then .
very very cute.
@scooterpants – No problem! It happens.
Hedgies loooooove tubes. They cannot resist the head-wedging actions.
Can anyone tell me where I can buy a hedgehog??? Seriously i REALLLY want 1.
I’d never heard of ‘edge’og tubing, so fuzzily searched:
http://www.hedgehogworld.com/content/view/32/42/
ROFL!
and check out the pic of tubing tribbles on 60’s wallpaper.
@Aloria- Iz dat a hedgie or a wedgie? Hmmmm?

So THAT is why my internet is acting funny today. There is a hedgehog in the tubes!
I’ve heard all about the hedgie tubing.. yet my Niko has yet try it despite ample opportunities!
http://hedgiehog.blogspot.com/2008/06/about-toilet-paper-rolls.html
Why do hedgies lof tubes so much? Does anyone know? An ‘edge’og shrink?
@Yitzysmommy: I’m SO sorry about Lucy….My “kids” and I are sending you lots of {{{{HUGS}}}} and many comforting snorgles your way. She was so lucky to be so loved!!!
This one definitely needs to go to tube-hab. Love the
disgruntled look and the crazy Lloyd Bridges eyebrows.
“Dewd, I can stop ANY time I want to!”
Most importantly, “Thistle” is THE BEST name for a hedgehog EVER. Absolutely brilliant.
Although anyone with a lisp wouldn’t be able to say his name…so..that’s kinda mean. (also, why does the word “lisp” have an S in it?)
“Thistle”? Does he speak with a Glaswegian accent?
Condolences, hugs and Baroo @ Yitzysmommie.

*beep*
Okay, I have to do that again.
*beep*
I didn’t realise hedgehogs noses looked like that! I thought they were just little black balls lol. Its a sort of half nose, half muzzle.
Cute!!
…nosicle!!!
I always think of Suessical the Musical when I hear the word noisicle. Noisicle the Moisicle! I demand someone write it. Andrew Lloyd Webber, get busy!
Tu be or not tu be
