Is a female hedgehog called a hedgesow?
Females are called Sows, males are called Boars, and pups are called Hoglets. The "hedge-" prefix is just fun slang.
Yes
That's what I like to call them too!
I fucking love hedgies. Did you know they're born with quills?
I know it's so strange! I'd feel bad for the mother if I didn't know they were built for that, and the quills were soft for the first few hours before they harden and sharpen.
Hedgehogs are fantastic
