Annalisse Babies Born 1-20-11

Annalisse is an excellent mommy, and these are some pretty, pretty little girls! Two very white pintos, and

two little white (well, one is almost all white) with black eyes.

Baby A, B, C, and D. Baby D is on the small side, and she won't be going home until we're sure she's healthy and

thriving! Actually none of them will be going home until we're sure they are healthy and thriving, but Baby D make take a day or two longer than the others. :)

Baby A is a pretty little pinto. Her spots that are colored are snowflake like mommy. Look at those little toes!

Baby B has pink skin, white quills, and a pink nose, but black eyes. Sorry...she spoken for!

Baby C is another snowflake pinto, but she's a little darker than Baby A and mommy. She's just a beautiful little hedgie.

Baby D has mostly white quills, with a dark banded quill scattered here and there. She's healthy and active,

but about half the size of the others. We may leave her with mom for a couple extra days to make sure she gets the best start possible.

Isn't mom pretty, too? Kudos to mommy for bringing up a healthy, happy, gorgeous litter!

If you are on the waiting list expect a call soon! If you would like to be on the waiting list, give us a call or send us an email...it's that easy. :)

And while we're here...some answers to frequently asked questions!

Q: Why do you have a hole in the background cloth in your photographs?

A:

Because I wasn't paying close attention during a group shot.

Q: What is the strange attraction hedgehogs have to tubes?

A:

I don't think hedgehogs do it on purpose. I believe there is a strange suction created when a tube is placed in a

hedgie cage. Watch closely as this little girl fights, tries to resist, but to no avail. Her head is sucked right into

that tube. Pink tubes seem to have more suction power than other colors. :)

Q: Is it true that some hedgehogs will try to do EVERYTHING with a tube on their heads?

A:

Yes. :)

Q: Why do hedgehogs anoint?

A: I have no idea. I ask every one of them, and none of them have answered. At least not an answer I can repeat.

Theories range from they smell something good, and want to spread the joy, to they smell something bad, and

want to spread it on their quills to make them more deadly. Whatever their reason, it is a strong instinct that

starts at a very young age. Watch as this baby hedgehog, just a few days old, decides that fingertips are FABULOUS,

and he must chew and lick and chew and lick and chew and...then he carefully turns around to get the

right camera angle (I shall name him Ham) and annoints. :)

A:

Q: Do hedgehogs really like bugs?

A: Every hedgehog I've asked this question has answered:

Then run off to find a bug. :)
