Cricket Time!

I got my first live cricket today. Before then, I have only had freeze-dried ones. They were dry, and tasted a bit like my dry food, a tiny bit like cricket, and mostly like sand. So when my human put a live cricket with me, I didn't know what to do at first. Then I smelled it. I was like, yay, a live cricket! So I began to chase after it. I almost got it about fifteen times. Then I cornered it and ate it. It tasted like cricket and grass, and cardboard. I guess it tasted like cardboard because that is what it had been living on and eating. Nothing like the freeze-dried ones! Then my human put another one in. That one was harder to catch and eat. It was a higher jumper, and it was very brave. It hid under me, and on top of me! I finally got it. I stepped on one of it's legs and trapped it. Then I ate it. Anyway, I got to go. I think I can smell my mealworms.

What's a pool?

What's a pool? My human and her family joined a, what was it? Oh, yeah. A gym. When ever they go to this "gym" they talk about going to the "pool". And when my human comes back from the "pool", she smells different, like water and something I can't place. Whatever it is, it makes her hair look really stringy and poofy.

Christmas contest

My human has entered me in a hedgehog Christmas contest. Please vote for me! I'm number 22, Holly. If I win, I get a new wheel! It would be so cool! I could get a pink sparkle wheel,  purple sparkle wheel, dark blue one, light blue one, aqua one, or a green one! I mean, I love the one I have now, but it's just plain white! It would be cool to have a sparkly, colored one. It would be the perfect Christmas present. Here is the link: http://www.carolinastormhedgehogs.com/christmas-contest-2011.html.

What to do?

It's my human's birthday today. She's turing thirteen! That's really old! (well, compared to a hedgehog were old age is eight) But I'm having a problem, what should I give her for a birthday present? Maybe a mealworm and chicken birthday cake? That's what I had for my birthday. Or maybe a log to hide under. Yeah! that would be a good present! I don't think she even has one! If she doesn't have one, where does she hide? Oh, well. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Humans are weird!

Me? A BUMBLEBEE?

So my human got this idea in her head about dressing me up for something called Halloween. She wants to dress me up as a bumblebee. Come on, a bumblebee????? She says that I look cute in a bumblebee antenna, but I disagree. What hedgehog has an antenna? She has been trying to put this long yellow thing around me to see how big I am. But so far all she knows is that I'm between ten to twenty inches wide and ten to twenty inches long. I hope that she gives up on this costume. Though I do like the idea of having a stinger. Maybe I can sting the dog.  Oh, well. At lest I'm not the doggy toy.

What's a soccer?

My human and and her family are lately talking about something called a soccer. What is it? Can you eat it? I hope you can. It might be really good! But if you can't eat it, what can you do with it? I wonder if it has something to do with my little blue ball. My human calls my blue ball a soccer ball. It jingles! Sometimes my human hides a cricket next to it. I also like to push it around.  Maybe  soccer is a bunch of humans pushing around blue jingle balls. I wonder if there is hedgehog soccer? I think that I would like to play that. Maybe I could win mealworms! Well, I got to go. My hedgie bag is calling to me!

New cage

I got a new cage again! My humans said my old one was to hard to clean. So I got a Ferret Nation. Then when I had the cage about a week, my humans got me a new cage! It's smaller then the Ferret Nation but it still fits my wheel, food dishes and igloo. But I still like my Ferret Nation better.
