Ha Mrrzy, no it wouldn't be a good idea at all!

We support the Hedgehog Hospital at Erpingham, and they have a very informative Open Day each year. They give talks and let people view their 'patients'. I help with serving teas.

Apparently, many hedgehogs suffer dreadfully from lungworm and fleas. Their Vet treats them for these parasites and operates on strimmer/mower injuries, road accident injuries and fox bites etc.

They're not very cuddly creatures really. But lovely to look at.
