Hi here is my pygmy Castiel. They are lovely little creatures. We are in the process of making him a hand built vivarium, so he has lots more room. He loves mealworms and cat balls that jungle lol.

Aww, he's a cutie. A couple of clients at work have them, I didn't realise they are starting to become a really popular pet with folk.

One of our vets has a little hedgehog, who cannot be returned to the wild, because he was really ill as a baby, his mother had been killed on a road and he was found near her. He had to be bottle-fed and it was touch and go whether he would make it. He is far too tame, very trusting of people (he refuses to roll up like a normal hog). He is a smashing little lad, he was into hospital the other week and he was a hit with a lot of clients. Gets a lot of fuss and attention wherever he goes.

Aww bluebell the poor little soul, although he couldnt be in a better place, little love. xx

Gwenoakes, hes about 4 months old. They need to be Registered and you get a little pedigree which is so cute with their parents, grand parents, greatgrand parents etc , so funny.
Im hoping my postman comes today with the new things ive ordered him. Hes also got a matching cage liner and pouch to sleep in with a new teddy hedgehog for him to curl up to. lol

Popped him uncurling in the members pet photos thread hehehe.
