HEDGEHOGS
Felix the hedgehog is a ball of
fun! Hedgehogs come from Africa and all over Europe.
Felix is an African pygmy hedgehog. He has lots of quills all
over his body. When hedgehogs are nervous they do something
interesting called 'self annointing'. They actually create a
foam from their mouth and lick the foam onto their quills!
Hedgehogs can run up to 12 miles an hour! When we visit
children, we hold Felix up close so the kids can see his face and
even let the more adventurous kids touch his quills! He makes
very interesting noises. We always include information about
why the kids might not want to choose a hedgehog as a 'pet'.
They are very interesting and cute but they certainly aren't the
most cuddly creatures on the planet!
