Meet Horatio!

It's a face that is nearly impossible to look at without smiling.  A character you cannot meet without falling in love. You pick him up for snuggling, and you don't ever want to put him down.  

​Who is this mystery character I speak of?  Why, this quirky little dude, of course.

Give a warm welcome to Horatio, a four-month-old African pygmy hedgehog who is bursting at the seams with personality!  Horatio joined The Gang towards the end of November 2015, and he could very well be the friendliest (and most active) hedgehog on this planet.  Despite being at the peak of his quilling stage (when hedgehogs are generally a little moody as they shed their spines and grow new ones), he never huffs, nor does he ever curl himself into a ball save for when he is fast asleep... in fact, he never even raises his spines!  Nothing spooks or fazes this little energy ball, and he loves running about and meeting everyone and everything in his environment. 

 



This is the closest Horatio
gets to rolling himself up
​in ​a ball (when he's awake).

Step aside,
Nana!  I've got

​

​Running up
to Kaiser to
​say "hello".

​Kaiser loves Horatio's company, and often follows him on his adventures around the house.


​

And of course
Zed had to meet 
the new fellow.
He loves ​Horatio!

Zed is extremely gentle with other animals.  He definitely knows which ones he can play rough with (dogs!) and which ones he can't.

Horatio isn't bothered by Zed at all, even when he sniffs noses with him on occasion.

​More to come from this dude!  See you in the next update. :)
