I recently got 2 hedgehogs from a friend who is a breeder and it is great! Though it is a challenge to pet them at first because every time they are put in a sort of uncomfortable spot, they readily spike up every time making way for the need to use thicker gloves just to hold them. They are really nice though and a step up from my great love for rodents.
I think hedgehogs are adorable and I would love to have one. Sadly, they're illegal in Pennsylvania. They are just the cutest things, though.
I love rodents, too. The only rodent I really dislike is the rat, and that's mostly because during the week I live in a shitty basement apartment in Brooklyn with rats. I have an uneasy truce with pet rats. But mice, hamsters, chipmunks, squirrels, gerbils, guinea pigs, etc.... I think they're just the cutest.
