A wildlife hospital just solved a hilarious case of mistaken identity. On Thursday, a woman brought in a baby hedgehog to the Lower Moss Nature Reserve and Wildlife Hospital in Cheshire, England — only to be told it wasn’t an animal in need but a beanie hat pop-pom.
The caring woman had picked up the 'hedgehog' from the side of the road after she noticed it “hadn’t moved or pooped all night,” reported U.K. newspaper The Independent. “From a distance, you take it at face value. She didn’t handle it at all — she scooped it in a box with some cat food and left it alone in a warm, dark place,” veterinarian Janet Kotze, who was on shift at the time, told the outlet. “She did everything so well. She barely peeked at it because she didn’t want to stress it out.”

Ha Ha Ha! I remember Dinsdale. :-)
I’m thinking pet hedgehogs will become a new rage, like pet rocks were back in the day.

“It hadn’t pooped all night”???
She spent the entire night seeing if it would defecate? That woman needs a life.
The TROUBLE WITH TRIBBLES episode.
Hey - I saved a worm tonight. It got water logged and hit with fertilizer. I picked it up and threw it into some unfertilized lawn. I wasn’t sure if he/she/it pooped all day either. But I felt good like a woke citizen
It needed some quadrotriticale.
