Happy Hedgehog Humpday!
You’ve seen Falafel’s adorableness when she gets a bath. Well, believe it or not, this may be even cuter! Last weekend the temperature got above 70 degrees for the first time since we got Falafel, so we took her outside for her first time ever!
Our building has a nice little courtyard in front so we took her out so she could do some exploring and sniffing. And she did a lot of both. Enjoy the adorableness:
People have asked me if we take her outside on a leash or anything- and we don’t. I’ve seen a video of a hedgehog on a leash but if we tried to put one on Falafel she would fight so much she would probably injure herself. She is a good little explorer, but she doesn’t try to run away.
She usually likes to check in with me while she is exploring, whether that is on the floor of our apartment, or outside. And even though she is kind of fast, we are faster. So no worries about her getting away.
If you have a hedgehog that you think will try to run though- you could always get them a playpen! I’ve been thinking of getting one for Falafel- I guess we will see.
Falafel is going to keep being adorable, so there will certainly be another Hedgehog Humpday in the future! Keep your eyes open for adorable hedgehog posts.

What an adorable little girl! I don’t have a hedgehog but I have a cat and I wish I could take her outside, but I doubt she would cooperate for any kind of a leash!
