   Call me stupid but I like people who do this kind of thing. Well done Gecko.

   When he comes back he’ll probably bring fleas with him.

   Easily fixed Michael. Just get a handful of flea powder and rub it all over its body. Then bandage hand.

   Fleas don’t matter, he’s only wandering around in the garden.

   Cute little bugger,do they normally wander around by themselves that young?

     Apparently so, Darin. The don’t appear to have any natural predators. He’s just come back this evening and Gecko is out there feeding him cereal and cat biscuits.
     There’s a better pic of him over at her place:

           Yup,could be as simple as” Hi,I’m a Hedgehog,what are you?”

           To having all the answers to mankind’s problems,but just not caring

   He’ll be back for his coco-pops.

   No, no Mathew. No coco pops. Think of his little teeth, diabetes and the ridicule that will come from being an OBESE hedgie. Also, seeing that the only hedgies around here are road-kill, you want to give them every chance to get off the road. There’s a good lad.

     You’ve been reading the Herald again, Mara.

       Also he hasn’t had the benefit of state run preschool yet,so he is a young HedgeHog at risk.He could fall in with the wrong crowd and end up a gang member if not careful
       • KG says:

         February 4, 2015 at 17:59

         Absolutely. He’s already part of the Gecko Gang, which includes magpies and a semi-tame hare.
         He needs career guidance, but it’s a prickly issue.
10. KG says:

    February 4, 2015 at 18:18

    Yep, he sure needs guidance..standing in his dinner plate to eat isn’t a good look.

    While this might not be the right place for this story, the wife’s sister is an entomologist and the sort that wouldn’t say boo to a goose. One night they were outside around the fir pit and a hedgehog wandered past. She calmly picked up the tomahawk and killed that hedgehog with a single blow and sat down again without saying a word, while everyone else stared on on horror.

    She just had no time for anything that killed endangerd bugs.

    I was the only one who saw this as it was, I think…

      Fanaticism – there’s a lot of it about.

        Yep, and that shows how anyone can get caught up in it.

          Which is why I found “Lord of the Flies” such a fascinating book.
