• Haha! I did too! I love pygmy hedgehogs…

    I'm happy your girl is better and did so well in the ring.


  • Poor Sidney!

    I bought him from a breeder in North Yorkshire 🙂


  • I'm sorry for what has happened Jess. It's wonderful that Maya has come back and looked great at the show.


  • Oh my goodness. I just read your post and found out about Gracie and Jovi. My heart goes out to you. I am so glad to see you back here and congrats on the awesome job! What wonderful pictures too!! ((Hugs)) to you all…


  • Congratulations Jess and Maya :D. Great to see the piccies too.
    What you've been through is absolutely horrible and I hope you get to the bottom of it.
    Glad to hear that Maya and all the other pooches are ok now, poor babies.

  • Congrats Jess! I'm happy to hear she is doing well. I'm sure it's nice to have something to smile about.


  • Hi Jess, sorry you have had a really tough time recently. Maya has bounced back though and looks as stunning as ever! She really is a pretty girl and will continue to do well. Take care, see you next year.

  • Well done Jess and Maya, a great result. I did ask
    Others regarding your terrible ordeal as I have not seen you since and I was truly shocked when I heard the details.

    Hope to see you soon, BCOGB Open or LKA?

    Steve.


  • Congratulations, Maya is a lovely girl. I am so sorry about your losses, I did not know what happened to them, but assumed it was tragic. So very gald Maya recovered.


  • that is just great! You both deserved something positive to happen!


  • Special request Jess, can we see more pics of Sidney 😃


  • Jess

    Well done to Maya. You were very lucky and I can imagine how pleased you were/are. Perhaps this will make up a little after your dreadful ordeal.

    Thank goodness that Maya hadn't taken more of the poison - I'm so relieved that she is ok now.


  • Lovely photos and great show. I, too, am so sorry and sad about your loss.

    What is Maya eating?


  • Well done little Maya en mom! Big congrats!

    Sorry to hear you've had such a hard time.. Glad your baby girl puts a smile on your face 🙂


  • Thanks for the lovely comments everyone, it is very much appreciated 🙂

    Vicki - Maya is eating sausage, bacon, eggs, fried bread and black pudding 😃

    Here is some more of Sidney:


  • Thanks for the cute pics of Sidney Jess, excuse my ignorance but will he stay that colour or go darker?
    Maya knows how to live, tucking in to a full English 😃
    Did she use the fork as well? 😃


  • OMG! Sidney is just about the cutest thing I have seen!!! Where did you get him from?


  • It is illegal in the state of California to own a hedgehog.


  • Pygmy Hedgehogs are very difficult to find here in the States. Many states have outlawed them. I can't figure out why. Unfortunately, since you're in California, they probably led the gauntlet. If you live in San Francisco, almost all "exotic" pets are outlawed.

    Maya, Sidney is gorgeous! I can see in one of those photos that you've come in contact with those guard hairs a few times…the things we do for our loved pets.:D I have met several pygmy hedgehogs, but only one was albino. She was pretty, too, but Sidney takes the cake!


  • From a website about hedgehog ownership, "here is a list of states and counties where it is illegal to own a hedgehog: California, Georgia, Hawaii, Nebraska, New York City and Fairfax County, Virginia. A permit is required to own a hedgehog in these states: Arizona, Maine, New Jersey, Wyoming, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania."
