Not the real thing

This little chap has spent his life, since joining us, on our conservatory windowsill. All the real hedgehogs are still fast asleep in hibernation, of course. I did enjoy having a hedgehog in our garden and I do miss her, Tiggy we called her. Hedgehogs are mammals of the subfamily Erinaceinae and the order Erinaceomorpha. I really felt that you needed to know that.
