[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Some facts:

Hedgehogs are characterised by their fairly short tails, long legs and small ears. Young hedgehogs are born with a coat of soft, white spines, which are underneath the skin to protect the mother during birth, but emerge after a few hours. A second coat of dark spines emerges after about 36 hours, and later on a third set develops. By 11 days of age the young hedgehogs can curl into a ball, and after 14 days the eyes open.

Any comments sincerely welcome.

Take care
