Yoshiko Tries to Go Up Mommy's Pants

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

Yoshiko was a little intimidated by all the open space her first time outside, so she tried to hide in mommy's pants. 2008-04-24 about age 2.
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.

What does Yoshiko mean? It's a lovely name. :)

[ChrisSunHwa]

@UncleFizzmo Thank you! I believe "Yoshi" means "good" or "lucky" depending on how it's written. The "ko" at the end is a feminine suffix that means "child."

How cute! I love Japanese names.... I have three dogs and I named them after characters in an anime called xxxHolic- Shizuka, Himawari, and Kimihiro. I always get compliments on the names. >.<

@UncleFizzmo Those are lovely names! You named one Himawari? That's the name of my newest rescue! Himawari Hime. (^-^)
