Watching anything being born is amazing. I think hedgehogs are even more amazing because mom has to be so careful with her quills around the newborns and when their quills come in they have to be careful around mom. I would love to have taken a picture, but I didn't want to disturb her.
The year is still new and full of possibilities. We are checking in with each other and sending friends new years greetings. I love the first days of the year. It is a time of hope and promise. Not everything will go well this year, but for a few days we think about the possibility of a better world. We never lose hope, so better really is possible. I hope at least some of all your new years dreams come true.
Watching a hedgehog give birth was pretty special. Birth is always a wonderful thing to be part of. It is just so funny to see something all covered in spines giving birth and nurturing tiny little babies. They are born without spines so they are very under developed. Mom seems to be doing a good job of nurturing her babies. If I can get a picture later I will post it.
