i took gir along with me to work today to celebrate hedgehog day. i work as a daycare director, so i was a little hesitant to bring her in to be molested by 100 little kiddies, but we both survived! i told them all about the REAL history of groundhog day and properly introduced them to how cool hedgehogs are. we did some activities and a craft with the kindergarteners in honor of both hedgehog day and groundhog day.
i didnt let any of the kids hold her, but they got to feel and pet and follow her around when i let her wander. she was VERY well behaved! i even had difficulty trying to get her to roll up all the way to show the kids how she protected herself. she was a little skiddish when more than one person tried to touch her at once (i dont blame her a bit!) but overall she was relaxed and very inquisitive. she was a BIG hit. im a little worried that parents are going to hate me for giving their kids a new thing to beg them for... :)
