This tiny apricot hedgehog is my newest addition to our family. Actually, she’s been in the family for the last year (since January 2007) when Cas bought her from a breeder.. at the time she was about 6 weeks old.

Cas took really good care of her for a long time, but in the past recent months, I started noticing that Cas had too many things on her plate and I offered to try to find Olivia a home.

But… ssshhh.. don’t tell Bob… I think I’ll just keep her. She’s starting to get use to me.. letting me rub her toes clean, feeding her treats and rubbing her belly.

Plus, Sky *loves* Olivia – although I haven’t figured out if it’s an I’d love to lick you because I want to be friends, or I’d love to lick you because I wonder how tasty you’d be… I don’t know…

See more pictures of Olivia during bathtime (so far these are the best pics I have been able to get of this nocturnal pyggy, er I mean, pygmy).

Olivia is so cute! No wonder you wanted to keep her. I loved the bit about rubbing her toes – really sweet.

I saw this on your Flickr pics.. I give you high fives I could not have little Olivia in my house.. I am so not that friendly pet person (unless if is a dog..) I shake thinking of the pets my boys will want to get when they are older..

Though she is cute.. :)

That’s one sweet hedgehog! I never knew they came in apricot, or even pygmy… You keep it!

Hi! I wandered in from EntreCard and wanted to say hello. What an ADORABLE hedgie! I’ve always wanted one, but I don’t think our cat horde would appreciate it!
