hedgehog

Some animals require more care and resources than others, and for people who don't know much about their needs, it's quite unexpected. For example, people don't realize how difficult it can be to take care of a fish or how many things you need to know before getting a pet rabbit. 

Baby hedgehogs are apparently one of those animals who need a little bit more from their owners, but that doesn't stop animal lovers like us from getting them. It's just that... with how much they cost, breaking the news of getting these awwdorable baby hedgehogs can be quite stressful. And for this twitter users, it was so stressful, their mom literally thought they were coming out instead. 

These tweets are somehow both funny and heartwarming lol, and we love them. 

Do you ever think about how cute hedgehogs are? In our opinion, they're one of the cutest animals out there. Although they have little spikes on their backs, that doesn't deter us. Hedgehogs are friendly, happy and generally adorable (and they love bubble baths!). Here are 10 photos to remind you of how cute hedgehogs are. For more cute animal pictures, have a peek at this daily dump of funny animal memes. 

From Winter to Summer and everything in between. These hedgehogs are the epitome of coolness which their elegant, chic hats, and hippie cozy beanies. They can pull off just about any look. 

There is something super delightful about animals donning tiny hats, we think it's the fact that tiny animals are so cute, and then when you combine that with tiny hats, it's simply too much cuteness for the brain to compute. Tiny + tiny = endless squeals. 

And now that winter is steadily approaching, the whole beanie-look just feels so cozy and right. For more delightful hedgehog pictures, check out @ron_hari on Instagram! 

In these trying times, one twitter user called @daily__hedgehog does god's work and brings us wholesome, cute hedgehog content on a daily basis. Every day, you can wake up knowing that an adorable new hedgehog is waiting for you in this account. And adorable hedgehogs are something that we all need sometimes. 

 A daily dose of tiny animal cuteness is necessary for a healthier lifestyle, didn't you hear? Even just one picture from this twitter account is enough to give you that daily boost, so a collection of cute hedgehogs is basically guaranteed to energize you for the entirety of the following week.

Some animals may be masters at playing hide and seek, but not these ones. Nope. These cuties, fierce as they may be, truly suck at the art of stealth. They're trying their best though, and we love them for it. 

Even the cats, animals who, in nature, are some of the stealthiest, most gasp-inducing creatures of all, have really failed in these pics. Then again, they may think they're fierce, but we know that our tiny widdle kitty babies are the clumsiest, funniest, most adorable animals of all, so of course they suck at hiding. 

All of these animals are the best at making a smile find its way onto your face, so enjoy these silly but adorable animals and have an amazing weekend!

Wow! Talk about encouragement! 

At first glance, it definitely seems like this magpie is nudging a hedgehog to quickly cross the dangerous road. 

And if you look at it that way, it's rather beautiful. Animals helping other animals...and while, it does happen sometimes in nature, it's probable (as many comments below have stated) that the magpie is just pecking and eating fleas off the hedgehog. It does make a lot more sense but what's so wrong about seeing it the other way? Truth is, we don't quite know if the bird was intentionally helping the hedgehog to safety or not. 

But we choose to believe he was because that's the kind of world we'd like to live in today. One full of hope and love. 

CeciArmy was the one to capture the moment that has since gone viral with over 14 million views and 120k comments. The caption for this video reads, "I just saw a bird explaining to a hedgehog, to cross it so it doesn't die. My day is complete."

Dreams really do come true! Bandit the hedgehog was able to see her idol -- Sonic -- on the big screen! 

Twitter user Jake & Bandit, shared adorable pics of Bandit right beside the Sonic cardboard cutouts! The tweet obviously went viral because who wouldn't want to see a hedgehog posing with Sonic the Hedgehog? Everyone wants to see that!

The tweet also sparked some other users to share pics of their adorable hedgehogs! So, all in all, we say this was an excellent thread. 

You can now follow Bandit on Instagram! 

We know you all know Azuki, the little hedgehog from Japan with his perky ears and button nose. Recently, the cute hedgehog, who has more than 430K followers, traded his comfortable dream house for a fully-equipped miniature camping set with a cute tiny tent, kayak, and even a barbecue set. It seems like the little camper had the time of his life. Prepare yourself for a serious cuteness overload. 

Once a week, we will be featuring an extraordinary animal account on Instagram! Their story, the adorable pictures, and pawesome videos! This week's spotlight goes to Monaka & Azuki, the hedgehogs!

The famous duo have a following of nearly half a million, on Instagram and the most adorable pictures of the pair playing, baking, reading and enjoying other mini-adventures.

Lately, there's a trend of focusing on hedgehog's butts, especially when they are sleeping. And from the photos, we can totally understand why... it's adorbs! We mean come on! Who can resist the cuteness when they lie flat on their bellies and sometimes fall asleep in very weird positions. Who we ask, WHO?!

How complicated could it be to bake a beautiful hedgehog cake? Well...Take a look.  We're they were definitely trying. 

We are sure you all know Mr. Pokee, the ridiculously photogenic pocket-sized hedgehog who was on a mission to put smiles on people's faces while going on his exciting daily adventures. Lately, he added his adorable cat friend, Audree, and their photos together are just too cute to handle.
