Hedgehog in Purples Beaver Based on a 1774 illustrationThe only reason I dont have a pet hedgehog is because then Id have to keep mealworms around, andick!

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
