Bailey, as he has come to be called, eats Meow Mix for Kittens. It is about all he eats, as we've been searching for treats to give him and he only shows interest in liquid cane sugar and turns his nose up at everything else! Grape/raspberry jelly, banana, apple, carrot... everything is ignored. We thought we had it with peanut butter -- he was licking away at it with a great amount of interest. Then he puffed up, contorted himself into several really uncomfortable looking positions, and used his tongue to dab the peanut butter all over his spines with his tongue. "Annointing" is this strange process hedgehogs use to cover themselves in scents they hope will camouflage them from predators.
Right after his bath, too. Hopefully no local predators are interested in peanut butter. In a week we'll pick up some meal worms and we're sure the little insectivore will enjoy those crawlies.
UT - More pics versus regular pics? Wha?
