Orphaned hedgehogs adopt cleaning brush as their motherHedgehogs have always been my favorite little critter, and I wish we had them here in Wisconsin. I had three or four of the little guys when I was in Germany that would run up to the back door every now and then. Eventually, the hedgehogs and I became pretty good friends, and they'd even let me pick them up, but usually they just sort of hovered around my ankles.

Four tiny orpahned hedgehogs are snuggling up to the bristles of a cleaning brush - because they think it's their mother.
The four inch long creatures are being hand-reared by staff at the New Forest Otter, Owl and Wildlife Park in Ashurst, Hants.
Workers say Mary, Mungo, Midge and Slappy get comfort from playing with the centre's cleaning brush and enjoy rubbing against it. Link to Full Story
It's a nice, cute, bittersweet tale which I hope you enjoy.

Can we all say "AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW" now? Okay, I admit, I'm sending this one on to my daughter (who'll send it on to all her 13-year old friends).
