An evening stroll of the pygmy hedgehog

In reply to some queries, Horatio is all settled too and seems to like having the old familiar rug near his viv so he can run around this 'fake grass'.

He's next to my knee to give you an idea about his size, he shouldn't grow any bigger, he looks about twice the size when upset and curled in a ball. He is sleeping on my lap just now, flat as a pancake because he is all warm, tucked up in a fleecy tunnel and wrapped in a blanket. He beats cats paws down in flexibility!

I don't like to flash into his light sensitive eyes, that's why most pictures blipped are from the side or above his head. This one was taken in the dark room so you can see how powerful the flash really is, it must be blinding to him!
