Ye Big

I should have thought of this from the very beginning... now I will never get to know exactly how tiny she used to be compared to how fatty and big she is now

("I want to see too!")

Slowly she's been exploring the frontier... haha... please don't interpret that in a dirty way...

Sorry for the blurriness, awkward lighting and inconsistencies... Matthew is slowly starting to learn how to operate ze camera. *** Ammendment: I would like to extend my apologies to Matthew for my comment regarding his photography skills. "My photographic memory is my camera anyways."

Grub

Look how big she is! She can actually perch up and eat out of her bowl rather than needing to tip the whole thing over just to stick her head in the bowl. They grow up so fast!

Anyway, I know this isn't hedgehog related, but I'm kind of in love with the waffle maker Matt got me for my birthday. Always date a man who is best friends with all your best friends... or just date your best friend. Only he will know to buy you a waffle maker.

They don't really look like iHop-grade waffles but don't judge a book by its cover because I know you wish you had some waffles.

Candid of the Day

It's kind of a long story...

She gets more visitors than I do

Hurray! Janille finally meets Sticky! PS. Don't be fooled by these pictures. Sticky looks all tranquil and calm but she was a nutcase and overly excited. But high 5 for a hedgehog who's overjoyed and in love with company... beats being grumpy!

Hehe that little foot

Also, Sticky has found a new love for back scratching. But, since she's not the brightest, there's always the fear she will walk right off my bum... because if you give a hedgehog an edge, she will run over it.

Hedgehogs and Hippos

Some snacks and play time after her bath. She sniffed this shoe and was really interested in it for about 10 seconds, and then decided she would be grumpy at it.

African pygmy hedgehog, meet African pygmy hippo... and your snack... which is evidently more interesting.

Shower Time

I've given up on trying to bath sticky in her carrier because she just climbs out of it too easily now. I just kind of fill the sink with some water, let the tap run and run water over her while I toothbrush her - but today, Sticky wanted to give herself a bath (when she's about to fall out of the tub she's climbing out of, I put that white tub underneath her to kind of ease her fall):
