Lovely garden! Even the piece of wood seems surprised at the hedgehog!
Looks more like approval to me.
Years ago we had a hedgehog wander into garden just at dusk. My cat, who was always very curious, followed the hedgehog around for about 45 minutes as it rooted around for things. The hedgehog did not care at all when my cat sniffed him and (gently) touched him/her with his paws. They do not care.
I remember actually picking one up once to tickle its belly 🥰 but they're usually infested with lice, and anyhow it's probably not something one should do to wild animals.
ooh boy, I would not recommend that
it cost me 7 shots in about 4 visits to infectious ward at GH
Yeah I think I got lucky there.
Pet or neighbor?

Invincible and adorable!
If you'd waited much longer it would've started the toe-tapping animation.
If you see a hedgehog during the day, call a wildlife rescue.
That was 9pm

How did you know it's a hedgehog lady? Are there visual differences?
Can't tell personally from the pic, don't know what kind tgey are either, but female hedgehogs are usually quite a bit larger than their male counterparts
