Hedgehog in Gold and Dark Red Elephant glass beadsThe only reason I dont have a pet hedgehog is because then Id have to keep mealworms around, andick! Luckily, my stitched paper hedgies dont need to be fed, so they are much less maintenance than a real one. They are covered in a gazillion wee stitched spikes, and have little glass bead eyes. Based on a 1774 illustration of Erinaceus europaeus (European, or Common Hedgehog) from Die Saugthiere in Abbildungen Nach Der Natur. The hedgehog is 4. 25
