8D *tickles skooshy little belleh* If I were to beep his nosicle, would it make a Rubber-Duckie-esque squeaking sound?.
Also, having never owned a hedgie, do they need baths often? Because I’ve noticed several hedgehog-bath pictures on this site and others; it seems to be a common-ish theme. (Not complaining, just curious.)
Some hedgies have a habit of wandering in their own perp, and get what are known in our house as “poopy boots”. So sometimes they need a bath to clean their toesies!

Well shoot AnnRan ! Ya beat me to the Don Ho reference !

I have to admit you got farther than I did . all I came up with was
“Tiny bubbles , in the hand…

OK, so everything I know about hedgehogs I learned from Cute Overload, but . . . isn’t this one HUGE? Or is that just a tiny hand (and sink)? Or am I completely wrong in how I’ve been imagining hedgehogs all this time? (I am reminded of the city girl who went to the country and was SHOCKED to find that cows are not about the size of your average dog.)
I love how his quills are slicked back on top of his head like he’s been doing the Ferris Beuler thing in the shower
Danke Schoen, darling Danke Schoen.
Thank you for funny cards from Spain.
I recall, Central Park in fall, how you tore your dress,
what a mess, I confess….
Can curl, but can’t swim
Stickly-Prickly, that’s him.
Can’t curl, but can swim
Slow-and-Solid, that’s him.
From one of my FAVORITES! The Beginning of the Armadillos wherein (for those of you who have not read it) a tortoise and hedgehog team up to defeat a young jaguar, and end up sharing physical characteristics – so they make Armadillos!
Besides the perp walk (especially when they “run and go” on a wheel all night), hedgies also “anoint.” If they find something they like the smell of, they will lick it or chew it up, foam at the mouth and then lick the foam all over their quills (well, as far as they can reach). I’ve seen mine fall over doing this!
They do this as a form of camouflage (“move along, nothing hedgie to smell here”). Sometimes what they decide is interesting necessitates a bath. Like when my hedgie was running up and down in a narrow strip of my mother’s flower garden (fully supervised), and found an earthworm. Chew, chew, chew, foam, foam, foam. He got a ride back to the sink in a bucket!
The little hedgehog looks pretty mortified to me. Like he can’t believe his parents are taking a naked-in-the-tub picture that they’re going to show to all their friends and embarrass him with when he’s a teenager.
To wash, or not to wash: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The soap and scrubbing of outrageously overpriced bath salts,
Or to take arms against a sea of bubbles,
And by opposing end them? To wash: to clense;
No more; and by a clense to say we wash!
The poopy boots and the thousand natural shocks
That encrust on my pawsies, ’tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d! To wash, to scrub;
To relax: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub…..ooh, a little lower….yeeeeah thats it…….
This is actually cute in a fascinating sort of way. I can’t help thinking this person has really abrasive hand soap.
i can’t…..i can’t….
*brain explodes*
Whaaaaaaaat?? I second the above comment!

“poopy boots” – that’s perfect….
and ‘wandering in their own perp’ is hilarious too!
Also known as “The Perp Walk.”
Bwahahaha!
Zackly.
poopy boots!!
Sooooo cuuuuuute! ded.
Poopy boots? Dirty toesies? OMG, I need to wash a hedgehog STAT!!
you aren’t by any chance related to him, are you?
“Cancey-wancey, you got cancey diddlies have you Mr. Burmey? you’re going to be put to deathies are you? is your little heart going to be made of stuffy-wub-wub? are they going to go killey-chum-chums? are they going to put your coldy woldy body wod into the groundy wound are they?”
Also omg Hugh Laurie used to be such a fox.
i’ve never seen that before. super funny!

Fill in the blank! Go!
Stephanie – If I’ve got the right song…He was bathed in soap
But oh I hope
He will visit me today.
He’d be fluffy right away!
I like the way @Hon Glad and @Maribeth think!!
That is just too funny! Very cute.
He hates that!!!! But such cuteness overloads my brain’s cells!!
It’s like an adorable, living loofah!
I imagine he would provide thorough exfoliation, but perhaps a little TOO thorough. Plus the disapproval would make shower time awkward.
I’ll bet he would rather be a loofah than a croquet ball! After all, he’s already wet and soapy, and he doesn’t look too cross about that!
Hehe, my hedgie’s name is Croquet ^^
To squee or not to squee, there is no question!
I’d let Hamlet ‘hog my wash basin anytimet.
OMG she loves the bubbles LOL!
Needs some Lawrence Welk in the background.
(sways) tiny bubbles……
Who sang that “Tiny Bubbles”…was it Don Ho?
So ridonkulously cute, I can’t stand it!
I know Don Ho would totally approve.
“Tiiiiiny Buubbbbbles
On the Hedgie
Make me happy
Make me feel fine”
*giggle*
Well shoot AnnRan ! Ya beat me to the Don Ho reference !
I guess that makes you “King of the lab” today!
I have to admit you got farther than I did . all I came up with was
“Tiny bubbles , in the hand…
Oh, well, there you are.
Doesn’t the hedgie look sort of relaxed?
LOVE his dainty paws!!! i love how all 4 are up in the air and he is all “meh” his expression is toooo cute!
Meg – I get the picture “Strategically placed “bubbles Tony Curtis in full boulevardier clothing under the bubbles to appear as Josephine, and countless cowboy films with Claudia Cardinale et Al in the slipper bath scene, with straegically placed bubbles on her boobee’s
SpongeHog HairPants
awesome.
*GROOOOOOAAAANNNN*
File under: hogwash
Enough, already, 260Oak! I an ded from teh Qte, I don’t need to be triply ded from your puns:)
Bwahahaha! That’s brilliant!
I was waiting for that!
LMAO!
“I would like to be handed my rubber duckie, please.”
OMG. This may actually be TOO cute.
Hamlet is a great name for a hedgehog.
hmmmm…..one is moved to wonder what The Bard would thinka
a hogge du Hedge as one of his Tragic Figures….
I think the Bard had sufficient sense of humor that he would find it amusing.
Alas, poor Yorick – he died from my overwhelming cute!
O that this too too solid dirt would melt,
Thaw, and resolve itself into BUBBLES!
You are FULL of win!!!
BRILLIANT!
I had a pet hedgehog (RIP Bandit)… OMG that is a BIG hedgehog… Mine was too grumbly and prickly to bathe..
She did like when her quills were down and I dug my fingernails between them and scratched her
Ms. Twiggywinkle’s bubble bath!
OMG, way too cute!
the cutest loofah evar …
hooray! it’s been far, far, too long between hedgie posteses!
A hedgie scrubbie! Just what I need to accompany some lovely-smelling bath gel.
I confused him with Lady Gaga for a moment!
He’s getting ready to perform “Poke ‘er Hand”….
BWAAAAAAAA!
Hedgie’s day at the spa!
Love the placement of the “modesty bubbles” !!
While tending his pet, Harvey Brillo has an inspired idea which changes cleaning history forever.
*snerk*

I burst out laughing the moment the photo loaded. Good thing my coworker is not in right now. HA!!!!
Hello Ladies!
What a smug look. He’s got a “come and see what the fuss is about ladies” smirk.
I had the same thought! That come-hither look is priceless!
Squeeeeee! Hamlet brings back warm memories of Schming floating in the bath with his Mai-Tai. http://cuteoverload.com/2008/06/19/built-in-floata/
Yeah, the “Rub-a-Dub-Dub, Ladies” had me cracking up.
Sqeee! So cute. Look at that big nose XD
I love how his quills are slicked back on top of his head like he’s been doing the Ferris Beuler thing in the shower

LUV that movie!! Oh and thanks for the earwig too… *hums while wandering away*
Hee hee!
Shming was such a good poggie!
Beady eyeballs and leg splayage – a very fetching combination with ze bubbles!
buldging eyeballs aside, he looks quite content – bubblicious!
“I am wet and bubbly, and I am SO okay with that. You may wash my spiky wittle self now.”
He needs a weeeee little rubber ducky. …Or to be painted yellow so that he may be the ducky, himself.
Rubber Hedgie, you’re the one
You make bath-time pointy fun
Rubber Hedige I’m awfully fond of you!
Look up “adorabuhls” in the dictionary, and you will see thees hedgie’s photo. Awwww. *nose beep*
Can curl, but can’t swim
Stickly-Prickly, that’s him.

That is just the best thing ever. I want to nibble on those feet!!!!!
Busby Berkley ain’t got nuthin’ on this fella!
To me, all hedgehogs look like Bobby Bittman.

That is the most beautiful thing I’ve seen all week!
Mr. Hedge has gotten all lathered up.
Where can I get a hedgie scrub sponge?
Privacy bubbles.
Oops!
I meant “Mr. Pricklepin’s Bubble Bath”– the Beatrix Potter book never published because it was considered too risque in time.

He’s waiting patiently for someone to scrub his belly, cause his pawses are too short to reach.
Awwww. <3
BEF! And inherent cuteness! And he's clean!
I’m assuming it crapped when it got in the water and you’re just not showing that in the pic. Mine always did.
He’s cute, but im sure he makes a rather abrasive sponge.
You know, you can leave him in the rack to dry, but the hard water spots aren’t too attractive.

*Hands an armful of roses*
Standing ovation.
No point in studying Shakespeare when we have this kind of brilliance.
*bows deeply*
The hedgehog you see is an African Pygmy hedgehog, much smaller than the hedgehogs found in the UK, etc..
*continues cheering darksines, throws more flowers on stage*
I’d like to see a video of the other side when each bubble “pops” on a quill.
Hahaha diddo!!!
HE IS TOO ADORABLE. *squishes*
