I've been laughing for 5 minutes! Thanks Wolfie!

How do they preserve the hedgehogs? Formaldehyde? Dessication?

Read it and find out

But wild speculation is much more fun! Full mummification? Preserving sugar?

'Sides, can't look at non-Beeb sites at w**k.

Not fair

Thank you

So when *do* I get my hedgehog?

Maybe it is not a good idea to stipulate what animals people should talk about Will. But if you do, you could use articles in the Guide in the first post. There is one on hedgehogs A510931 and it would make it more interesting if you included any personal encounters with hedgehogs. Do you have any near you?

Having put forward the sugar idea I now can't rid myself of the thought of candied hedgehog.

On a stick!

Not seen a hedgehog lately but seen a few squashed ones

Were they candied?

I have not seen one for a long time. The last time must be nearly 10 years ago when I went to see what my dog was barking at as she would not cease when told to do so, there was a hedgehog next to the fence in next doors garden.

I've seen a few since I moved to New Zealand - we don't have them in Australia so I was so excited the first time, I wanted to pat it. They're kind of cute.

Apparently hedgehogs who curl up in the face of danger are dying out and the ones who just get the hell out of Dodge are thriving... this is Darwinism at it's best.

Yes they are cute but full of flees
