Have you ever met our sweet hedgehog, Pixel?
We haven’t blogged her much since she first came home as a baby in April. She is 7 1/2 months old now.
But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t get any attention around here! She is rarely in her cage all day. She has got to be the most loved, cuddled, spoiled hedgehog on the face of the earth. {A} is still her main caretaker, and definitely spends the very most time with her. But {JM, O and S} have their own play-QT with her every day too. Pixel is woken up in the morning, played with sporadically throughout the day by someone or other around, and just held and carried around while she takes cat-naps.
Errr….hedgie-naps, I guess.
She’s even settled in for the night at bedtime!
She really is an easy pet, being so quiet, quite clean, and completely potty-trained. We can even tell when she ‘has to go’, so we just put her in her cage, and she runs to her litter pan. Pretty cute to see! (If you stop watching right there. lol).
We had so much fun taking these recent photos of her.
She gets rides now and then.
Being a hedgehog, she loves to get underneath things.
–
There she goes!! She was under there for a few minutes. Then she tried to back out again, but the whole truck was backing up!…..
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
“We see you, Pixel!!”
“PEEK-A-BOOO!”
Look closely in there….do you see her scrunched up face? SO CUTE when she does that! When she ‘puts her visor down’. (That’s hedgehog talk.)
A little time with {JM}. She gets countless kisses from the kids in a day. She’s quite used to it.
Pixel spends a whole lot of time in {A}’s hand, just like this, when {A} is on the computer, reading a book, or standing around talking. She is a professional hedgehog handler. Or of her hedgehog, anyway. I’m in awe, watching them together.
She curls right up and goes to sleep, with the slightest sign of a cuddle.
Just look at that face!! That’s the face I love. She has other faces. She’s very facially-expressive.
Hope you enjoyed this recent peek at Pixel. We’ll try to incorporate her in our blogging more, if you’d like. After all, she is very much a part of our family.
The End!
