Okay, I've heard it all now  :-)
I'm going to have to send this little story over to my Mom so she can forward it on.

| I once had a hedgehog. My father found it on the road and brought it
| home to my mother (she loves hedgehogs) thinking he would let it go
| later that night. When he went out to let the little bugger he found
| another one and brought them both back. Apparenltly they were a family
| before they were brought home (the female probably went seeking that
| drunk the male afther he didn't come home for dinner) because mother
| hedgehog gave birth to three just two days after they arrived. Living
| with a family of hedgehogs and four (at the time) cats can be fun esp.
| in a two-room appartment :) That is, when the male hedgehod doesn't
| try do dig a hole in the concrete floor (which he almost succeeded at
| but he hit the steel armature and gave up). They wreaked havoc on all
| the roaches for quite a while ahead.
|
| The bottomline is that a hedgehog can be as nice as any other pet. At
| least before they start chewing on a roach in 2 am, anyway.
