Constant Vigilance

This is an important reminder for all hedgehog owners: Hedgehogs have poor eyesight, depth perception, and spacial awareness! They will wander to the edge of "cliffs" (cabinets, boxes, furniture, etc) and fall right off not even having known they were in danger. Even a short fall can cause internal damage, so should your hedgehog be unfortunate enough to take tumble be sure to watch for warning signs like lethargy, bloody stools, bruising, and lack of appetite. Everyone makes mistakes with their pets, but in order to avoid this one just keep you hedgie on the ground, or be hyper vigilant when s/he is around the edges of things. In the wise words of Mad Eye Moody, "CONSTANT VIGILANCE!"

In Phinneus news, Phin has been super cuddly, which leads me to wonder if he's buttering me up for something...
