Hedgehogs
Hedgehogs
We have several African hedgehogs. They are almost white color. Here are few interesting facts about these nocturnal animals.
Each hedgie has around 5,000 spines — each of which lasts about a year.
As they move through the hedges looking for worms and insects, they make a piggy grunting noise. Hence, hedge-hog.
They will eat slugs, beetles, caterpillars, etc., and do no harm gardens.
Hedgehogs are not affected by snakes venom.
