I just clicked it and it played. No problems at all. (XP user running Firefox) I have no idea when I last downloaded Quicktime, but apparently it was recently enough.


Thanks for sharing the movie of the cute little guy. Feel free to post more.

If you have iTunes, it keeps your Quicktime up to date.

Oh, yeah, and that video was awesome. The little guy's photogenic, and your editing is perfect.

My problem, not yours. Six weeks ago, I had to reinstall QuickTime, along with everything else. Since then I'd quite often get a pop-up that said I needed something that wasn't available on the QuickTime site....wtf?
The things I was trying to view weren't interesting enough to dig into it until now. Now God's in his heaven and all's right with the world. :D

oh_my_god I want one!!

So you're saying their is an untapped black market in hedgehogs..hmmmmm....

Well you're in luck.

from here, a better list is here.

At a guess, I would say that 'farm' states with temperate climates would be most opposed to critters like hedgehogs. I can't imagine Alaska having too many issues with invasive species on land since most critters would not be adapted for the winter there.

Well then that seals the deal.

One hedgehog, coming right up!

(my husband would kill me)

Will the Aussies let you bring it along? ;)

I doubt it.
Doesn't matter - they've got enough odd creatures over there on their own! I still get the shivering heebie-jeebies over the huntsman spider incedent I had.

One bit of advice - you may already know this, but I lost a hedgehog because I didn't know - do NOT us cedar chips for the bottom of his cage.The green stuff work fine. The cedar chips have a strong odor which makes it smell good, but it caused my hedgehog to develop repiratory failure - the poor thing was barely breathing for a couple weeks before he died - made me feel terrible,,,but I didn't know....

Can you give details? I found the chart here that lists hunstman spiders as 'low risk'.

That being said, the spiders at the top of the chart creeped me out. I'd hate to wake up one night to one of those crawling the walls or ceiling.

My guess is that the mouse spider would find hedgehogs very tasty.

I'd definitely need wiping. :speechls:

I recall an Australian song that Dr. Demento used to play ... "The Redback on the Toilet Seat."

Ohhh..... I literally shivered with I saw that picture, Bruce. I hate spiders.
