He's so cute. Hedgehogs are one of the few domesticated animals I have almost no experience with. I think I might have held one, once ages ago, but that was it.

There's this big pond that forms after it rains that I ride my bike past, and the morning after we got out first big monsoon rain, the frogs were so loud they were almost deafening. When my mom and I walked down that way with the dogs a few days later, there were dozens of teeny, tiny little baby frogs all over the sidewalk. They were still out when I went by later on my bike, and I still feel guilty, because I think I might have run one over. I was trying to dodge between two or three, and just as I swerved one jumped in front of my tire and I heard a popping noise.Toads are cool.
Where I grew up we had a small lake at the end of the street teeming with toads, fish, crayfish, bullfrogs, turtles.
We'd catch and keep toads all the time, and I even grew my own once from a bunch of eggs we got right after mating season.
Ours were bufo americanus in various colors
