That can't be right!
That can't be right!
The rest of the article doesn't give me a great deal of faith in it's overall accuracy. At one point it states that they were bred in America ten years ago, and at another point they say it was twenty years.
I don't think that this article was proofread and so anyone looking for true data on these animals would be best advised to look elsewhere, particularly if you're considering adopting one.
I would imagine that the British Hedgehog Preservation Society would either know all about them or would be able to direct interested persons to a definitive website.
This is actually a rather poor article, and prior to posting I searched for something better but couldn't find a recent one from a news site that addressed their emerging popularity as pets.
