These are only a few of the many names my students suggested for our baby boy hedgehog. Tonight we named him Pablo, after one of our favorite poets.

He's doing well. Much more social now. He seems to recognize us both. He's moving around and exploring lots. Pablo is so much fun! :) He loves to climb into shoes, twist all around inside them, scratch on the leather, and lick them - eew! He likes scrambled eggs and oranges. He likes to burrow into my armpit any chance he gets. His litter training is going alright. I'll keep you posted. J built him a quiet running wheel from a bucket and parts he got at the hardware store. Very cool. :)

Will post photos soon.
