Do you have alot of them--and they don't bother you garden at all?
Odd looking creature!  They eat slugs and snails?  And, by the way, I love your lettuce in the background--mine is only 3 to 4 inches tall.

That's so cute, I want one!  Our plot used to have them but they've all died apparently.  What happened to the hedgehog population in this country (apart form the 4 wheeled menace?)  There used to be a hedgehog sanctuary where you could get them but I don't think it's going any more, very sad, I'd love one for the lottie.
