A Day in the Life of a Hedgehog

You know - Nigel has a pretty cushy life.....here's what a typical day looks like for him.

He gets up EARLY - running on his wheel starting around 3 am - 5ish am.
Then he hits the sack - cuddled up in his blankets with his stuffed hedgehog.
When I get up in the morning I check in on him to make sure he is warm and resting comfortably.
Then around 11 am I get him out of the cage and locate him wherever I am for the day - he continues to snooze.
I wake him every so often checking on him and snapping the occasional photo
Around 6ish we do crickets and worms and cuddles
Back into the cage after treats to get a bite to eat, something to drink and to go potty
Back to bed until 11ish pm when he runs on his wheel again until midnight or 1 am.

All in all a pretty cushy day....
