the hedgehog



The hedgehog is a spiny mamal,with a weight of
about 1 kilogram. Hundreds of spikes protect it
against most of the predators, but not against
parasites. The badger is capable of killing the
hedgehog. They feed on slugs, insects and millipeds,
but also on mice, eggs and whatever they can get.
Never feed them with milk , but they love catfood.
