As I prob mentioned before, my mum had an African White Bellied Pygmy Hedgehog. To be honest, while he was very cute and handsome, he didn't live out his full term and no-one could have given him better care than my ole ma. It is kind of sad to keep a hog in a cage. At least with her pet rats, she let them run around a bit. She used to have a bookcase with a tissue box next to her TV chair and one of the rats used to come out of his cage, scamper up her arm and across her body to the bookcase and then spend a couple of hours watching telly from his tissue bed with her. A bit like Bagpuss I used to think. Things I miss....
Yes..she used to have a pet jackdaw when she was a kid which I can only assume was an injured bird she found. Im signing off now before I get too melancholy, sniff!
