My sweet little Melon, the oldest of my hogs now. 💛🍈

She is going to be 4 in July, but during today’s cuddles I noticed that what I suspected was the start of a small lump a while ago appears to be growing larger in her throat area so I suspect she’s got a tumour. 😢

Although our time might be limited, she’s still her normal cuddly bouncing ball of podge self, and I’m so grateful for the time I’ve had with her. She’s really just the sweetest girl and she’s been the best mama. So incredibly proud of her. 🥰

I think Pym is VERY happy about dinner time! 😝😄Yum yum. 🍽️

Big Boi Bao has returned to Hinterland as a guest at the hotel facilities! 🥰

I collected Bao, his parents and his sister all the way from Hull last January for the African Pygmy Hedgehog Club UK Rehoming Service - Bao was then foster failed by his mum and dad, and now lives the life of luxury being very spoilt and sticking his head in toilet roll tubes. ☺️

I think it’s safe to say he remembers me… 😉

I adore having babies come back for holidays regardless of their temperaments, but there’s always something so lovely when they come back to you like this (and not to brag, but I’m lucky enough that that’s often 😉) - she’s such a testament to her dad!

One of my 2023 bubbas from Naboo and Mogwai (who have both since crossed the Rainbow Bridge 🌈), little lady Yuffie! Her and her sister Perdy, who stayed with me, are the granddaughters of Minky and Brillo, my first ever breeding girl and boy, and also my dinky Miri who I lost too early.

It’s such a blessing to see my previous hogs in babies years down the line, and to remind myself how lucky I’ve been to love each one of them. 🥰❤️

Isn’t she so sweet?!

Oh to be a sweet, sleepy baby hedgehog. 🦔😴

Following on from Panda, I’m super proud to introduce the newest member of the Hinterland Herd, my beautiful keeper, Pomeline (originally Oatmeal). 💛

Unlike her very polite, demure sister, Pom is EXACTLY like her mama Pym - an absolute fearless firecracker who can’t sit still for half a second. She fits in so well with the rest of our girls already. 😍😅

Can’t wait to see where this little lady takes us as I head into my fifth (?!) year of breeding - it’s been a tough year with litters, but being able to create my own little bubbas like this makes it all worthwhile. 🥰

Baby content incoming over the coming days, I promise! 🤞

Introducing the first of our two girlies, little miss Pandora (originally Muffin) is the loveliest split-face. 😍

When she’s old enough, she’ll be heading to her new mummy where she’ll be the most spoilt girl!

Panda is such a sweet, gentle little girl and has a very similar personality to her daddy, Biscotti. 🥰

Hellooo! I’ve been rubbish at posting yet again, so let me end my extended absence by introducing some new little gorgeous snoots… Pym gave birth to two beautiful girlies on the 19th December, National Oatmeal Muffin Day! 🧁

As you can see, now the girls are a couple weeks old and are taking up the majority of the nest box, Pym has opted to splooting just outside - close enough to be available to tend to little squeaks, but far enough that she’s not constantly being kicked in the eye by a fidgety child. 😛

Introductory posts coming in 3… 2… 1…

Happy New Year, my lovelies! 🥳

Couldn’t think of any better content to share with you all today besides these amazing end of year numbers from the African Pygmy Hedgehog Club UK Rehoming Service. 🧡✨

So, so proud of what we’ve achieved in 2024! 🥹

I suffer in silence for the sake of an anoint… 👅😅
The sound of that tongue smacking though! Also literally just noticed that big blob of dried j**z on him as well… my man had a bath mere days ago. 🙄

Our newest boy, Dorian, from the wonderful African Pygmy Hedgehogs UK Breeder Mills Quills is coming out of quilling and will now just about tolerate me as long as I’m providing him with my skin or a morio to chomp, he’s not bothered by which. 🤣

NB - please don’t let your hogs use teeth on you if you don’t know how to stop it from becoming a habit! Dori has never shown inclination to bite through frustration or aggression, and merely chews to get more for his anoint, which I’m okay with, but it can easily get out of hand if you let it become a frequent occurrence. 🥰

Also I have 20 odd hedgehogs and my hands have no feeling anymore. This would hurt if you didn’t have asbestos skin. 😆🧛

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! 🎄✨

Dovahkiin is offering a fantastic demonstration of what I’ve spent the last few days doing non-stop… stuffing my face full of food. 😌

Sound on for some super satifying crunchies! 🤤

Did you know that as well as my spiky children, I also have an Orange Juice, the 1.5 year old Syrian hamster? 🍊🧃

I typically keep one female Syrian at a time (one is enough, if you keep hams, you’ll understand 😂) and she is definitely the most spoilt - I think she gets more love from me than everyone else combined, even if she is notoriously naughty. 🙃

She might be cheeky but she’s the most loving, affectionate, playful little love, so as an ode to OJ, here’s 2 minutes of bonus hamster ASMR content for you all as she demolishes a whole spray of millet and shoves it all into her chonky cheek pouches. 😝
