Wouldn't they be hedgehoglets?

Is a female hedgehog called a hedgesow?

[-] Just_Pizza_Crust@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Females are called Sows, males are called Boars, and pups are called Hoglets. The "hedge-" prefix is just fun slang.

That's what I like to call them too!

I fucking love hedgies. Did you know they're born with quills?

I know it's so strange! I'd feel bad for the mother if I didn't know they were built for that, and the quills were soft for the first few hours before they harden and sharpen.

Hedgehogs are fantastic
