The babies are now 13 days old. I have held them since they were 7 days old, and they are doing great. Their eyes have not opened yet, but they have a new set of quills. I held all four today, and one of them started to self-anoint. Self-annointing is where a hedgehog spits on itself. Hedgehogs will do this when new things are introduced to them. Scientists still do not know why they do they spit on themselves, though. There are 3 females and 1 male. One of the females is lighter than all the others, and the male is darker than the rest. The picture that I am posting is of these two.

Hay Kelly,
What kind of new things?
Like new people, the junk on my basement floor, mealworm bedding that got on my hands before I held the hedgehogs, stuff like that.
