Potted Hedghog

This little hedgehog thought he found a place to hide. I don't think he was expecting me because he instantly went into a fake sleep. This is one of their defense tactics which is common to the possum family that he belongs to. The flower pot shows how big he really is. Poor little creature. He's faking he's asleep.

One little stretch and he looks almost like a cactus plant knocked on it's side.

Click on the thumbnail to your left and you can see a bigger picture. If I didn't know better I would say this guy was a porcupine. I guess they all belong to the same family.

Might as well go out for a stroll since the fake sleeping didn't work.

Notice how tiny he is compared to the potted plant he is sneaking behind.


You have to admit though, he is charming, even in the drabbest of cubbyholes!

This picture shows a better view of his eyes and nose. And you can see the resemblance to his cousins. Possums also have that pointy nose.

Well, Flussy thought the whole adventure was absolutely fascinating!!!

Flussy is a member of my family. Well she decided she liked it here so we take good care of her. And in turn she gets to enjoy all the birds and wildlife that come to visit.

What a wonderful life to live. Remember each photo is a thumbnail and you can click on them to see the bigger picture.

Thank you,
