Chopper and I are going to adopt a new baby hedgehog in the next several weeks and I’m tickled to be able to share the first photo of her. She’s about three weeks old, and her eyes have just opened. No name yet, although I’m partial to Paisley. We’ll need to meet her and make sure that she’s cool with that.

The red stuff on her back is nail polish, used to tell her apart from her littermates (another girl and a boy). She can come live with us once she’s weaned and on her own, about six weeks old.
Dexter thus far has no opinion on the matter. The two of them will live in separate cages and have minimal contact (other than being in the same room).
