Now I know we really live in the country, just look who
decided to hibernate outside my front door!
A single mum hedgehog plus four offspring!
Vive les herissons!
PS In answer to your comments, yes, these are my pictures. These baby hedgehogs are incredibly approachable. They move quite slowly, and they didn't mind me picking them up - I wore gloves - for the sake of a photo. It's all gone quiet now, after a few days snuffling around and settling down, I think they've finally gone to sleep!

I ran into one of these adorable little things on my way home from work the other day. I had never seen one except in a pet store!
ReplyDeleteI love hedgehogs. I used to find them when I lived in England, but have never seen one in Canada.
ReplyDeleteShe is so darling. We don't have them, so I am VERY jealous! Great photo, too.
ReplyDeleteShe's so sweet and how did you get so close? Isn't Mother Nature wonderful? Great pictures!

Oh Sharon, how lucky are you! Adorable. We have possums who often spend winter in our shed, and I think we're so lucky to live with wildlife around. Can't say the family feel the same way about the snakes though, but you have to take the good with the bad! K xx
ReplyDeleteOh, it's Mrs Tiggiewinkle, so where is Peter Rabbit?
ReplyDeleteThey are cute little creatures, are they nice? Great photos!
ReplyDeleteSi mignon!
ReplyDeleteWhat great photos! Such a pretty mama.

ReplyDeleteSharon,
ReplyDeleteTu as raison de dire " vive les hérissons" !
Ce sont de bons petits animaux qui malheureusement ont
un ennemi : les voitures... Tes photos sont très réussies.
Vive la campagne !

Mrs Tiggiewinkie has come to live with you!! I love hedgehogs! I had one who I called George when I lived in Paris near Le bois de Vincennes. I think he got lost.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you went all "paparazzi" on this sweet creature, I wonder if she knows how famous you made her?
ReplyDeleteYour lucky to have hedgehogs, they are a natural form of pest control, especially helpful if you have a vegetable garden.
I live in a sixth floor apartment in NYC but I know these things. I read gardening books.

How lucky you are to have Mrs. Tiggywinkle right outside your door!!
ReplyDeleteHow precious. I had a pet hedgehog in my classroom for a while. It belonged to another teacher, but she let it visit our room for an extended stay once. They are sweet little creatures. Thanks for sharing your photos. ~ Sarah
