hedge hogs!!!!

Apon my research of long eared and normal hedge hogs I came across a small disturbing fact:


"Hedgehogs were eaten in ancient egypt and some recipes in the middle ages."

I didnt know that! sad!

This is now day two of my hedge hog research. Hedge hogs have always been something I've loved to own. Maybe when I get a job (if that ever happens) I'll be able to afford the upkeep of a hedge hog. Their so cute! I didn't know there were albino hogs nor did I know some hedge hogs can to the size of two softballs! SCARRRYYY! Domestic Hedgehog's eat cat food while wild ones eat insects! The most common type of hedge hog sold in the united states would be the African pygmy hedgehog. Domestic Hedgehogs eat cat food! Foxes are the main predators to hedgehogs (wild hedgehogs)
Day three of my research. I just stumbled apon a website solely dedicated to selling hedgehogs online. I think it's a bit odd. I know it's not every rare to find animals home through the internet but I guess I never thought hedgehogs and such a following. This website is called Hoobly.com. A hedge hogs lifespan is 3 -8 years.

While hedgehogs are adorable, this leads me to believe that they may also be delicious. This makes me wonder, What else are hedgehogs capable of?

Well we do what we can to survive, I suppose. I don't understand how they could eat something as cute as a hedgehog, though!

I like that you have a topic to pursue. I would recommend lengthier blogs on the amazing hedgehogs. Excellent.
