The Other New Family Member


If you couldn’t tell by the picture below my our new pet is a hedgehog! Her name is Trixie and she just turned 3 on March 3rd 2018. We got her on the 15th of January 2018 from someone who had previously bred her. I have always loved hedgies and have wanted one for some time now but there never seemed to be any to adopt near where we live. So we were happy to find one right in our town.

Trixie is super sweet, and the kids absolutely love her. She is pretty low maintenance and doesn't make much noise. She eats just a regular hedgehog food and isn’t usually interested in fruits and veggies, etc. She has a fairly large cage that I keep on top of a bookcase in my basement living room area.

Trixie’s first night with us I didn’t have a cage yet so I kept her in a plastic tote, with no over of course. My cat woke me up in the night meowing really loudly outside my room but that isn’t uncommon for him so I went back to sleep. When I woke up in the morning I went to check on Trixie and she wasn’t in the tote, I panicked! Thankfully she was just curled up next to the TV stand. Hedgehogs don't have the best vision so I am guessing she got chilly and there was some warmth coming off the cable box and game systems. As I’m sure you can guess I went straight out to buy a proper cage for her.

Spring Time Tag

I haven't done a tag lately, really I haven't done much posting at all. With the end of the school year nearing the end I have been pretty busy. Between that and work I haven't had too much time to sit down and write. I have going to really try and make an effort to get posts out more regularly again though. So stay tuned! 1. Spring means glowing skin, what do you do for healthy glowing skin? Sunscreen? Haha, I don't really use anything else, usually just a tinted face cream with SPF 30 in it. 2. What is the first beauty thing you think of when the weather warms up? Letting my hair dry out in the breeze, it is always so soft and wavy when I do that.  3. What is your favorite part of spring?
