African Pygmy Albino Hedgehog

[madbadger]

Someone at work is selling one for the princely sum of £210 and I can't work out if it is an early April fools joke, real or just another example of Welsh dumbing down going too far.

A bit on Wikepedia, but that could all be wikibks too, particularly when it goes on to warn of the perils of 'Wobbly Hedgehog Disease'.



For £210 I'd want the flower pot to be included at least.

Looks rather cute but how much?!

Used to get one visiting our garden in the old house. Never attempted to pick one up.

[mybrainhurts]

That's a bloody expensive pie...

Roughly worth ~£150 according to this website:

Was it in Africa? Or are you saying African Albino Pygmy Hedgehogs are native to Yorkshire?

Crikey.

I'm still not convinced about Wobbly Hedgehog disease.

I meant a regular common hedgehog.

It looks like WHS is real too!

My daughter's got one, which we have to mind sometimes.

She doesn't have a good track record with pets, so I feel a bit sorry for it, but we'll see.

How does the male go about mounting the female without getting pricked himself?

Possibly the most pointless pet in the world.

And yet, at the same time, possibly the most pointful.

Seriously - £210! You could get a nice chainsaw for that.
