While I absolutely love your comment and think my question essentially ruins it; I sure know mine's a lot wrinklier and think there's a technical flaw with your otherwise amazing quip
It sounds like you need to practice getting it to curl up into a defensive posture on command. Even a half curl will do wonders for its appearance.
You made me laugh out loud for the first time in a while, holy mol-ey!
Had a hairless rat briefly that we called Sir Scrote.
Sentient ballsack
The scrotum demands scritches.
In more ways than one!
Poor bastard, born without quills and without pixels
Moar pixels:
He looks like Alf
I’m sure he loves pussy as much as Alf
What's up with its paw?
This makes me wonder: if Sonic shaved his quills, would he go faster? 🤔
The quill gives him power so he'll go slower instead.
You're thinking of Sampsonic, my biblical hedgehog OC.
Definitely swim faster.
Human intervention is at its best when it cares for beings that would otherwise not survive
Cute, it looks like one of the Clangers.
There is someone out there whose job is bald hedgehog masseuse
Ok but which Norfolk?
There's only one in the native range of the hedgehog
Reminds me of the time a yellow jacket flew up my dear departed Harold's draws and stung him right on the sack.
That actually happened to me as a kid.
Is that from Golden Girls?
No honey I can't eat there on account of my fibroids acting up.
As my brother joked when I showed him this:
"Damn, now he's just a hog."
For Halloween he could go as Fully-Hedgeless Nick 🤪
Hey man bro, u got one of them pixels left? Maybe two?
Alf got fat.
i guess its a birth defect or something. he looks like a squishy ball
But why the massages? Serious question
Hedgehogs normally have sharp quills that make them uncomfortable to massage.
This is what my brain imagines when I think the word puggle.
The squonk
The weirdest tan egg I've ever seen.
So, a Sphinx cat? Or I guess that’s just how it originated, a recessive gene (or whatever) we coaxed into a breed of cats?
Do cats have white supremacists? Somehow, that’s some kind of chimpanzee idea.
I think sphinx cats are older than the ability to cut in hedgehog genes to your cat.
I hope he is not cold
Is the hedgehog massages like that one the otter was getting the other day?
Still not as cursed as hairless bears.
