Olivia the Apricot Pygmy Hedgehog
- by Judi on Jan 22, 2008
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.. :)

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!
