Yoshiko's First Day Out

Thank you to all the people who helped raise the money for Penelope's surgery!

Yoshiko the African hedgehog explores outside for the first time (closely supervised). 2008-04-24, about 2 years old.
NEVER leave a domesticated hedgehog unattended outside!
African hedgehogs are "fad" pets. This means they are frequently bought on impulse, then once the novelty wears off they are often unwanted, neglected, abused, and even abandoned. Domesticated African hedgehogs do not have survival skills and would die in the wild, especially in colder climates because they cannot hibernate. "Release" is a death sentence for these little animals, whether it is by starvation, predators, or cold.

[platypus128]

@DemonDrug95 mine did this and it was just a matter of stress try playing with it more (nicely) and make sure its temperature and lighting is just right. Having good food will help too. dont feed it adult cat food, it doesn't have enough protein
