Meet Prickles, a cuddly hedgehog ready for home

Aug 23, 2021 | 4:10 PM

NANAIMO — He’s shy at first, but don’t let his growls fool you.

Two year old mixed breed hedgehog Prickles, loves burrowing down into his enclosure and rolling up in a ball.

He’s a night owl, so he’ll be most active after the sun goes down and loves a warm bubble bath where he can get his quills brushed with a soft toothbrush.

Prickles requires an experienced hedgehog owner to help him thrive in his forever home.
