I think hedgehogs are so adorable. Here we have GROUNDhogs...about 10 times the size of a hedgehog and not so adorable when they eat your entire garden to the ground. But they are sort of cute...at a distance. Some people call them "whistle pigs"..I never knew why until one day I was out in the garden and our resident groundhog was sitting up nearby making this loud almost birdlike whistling call that was being answered from a distant groundhog.
