Hedgeblog #2


500 grams !!!! 
This is brilliant. Couldn’t wait to weigh him as I was so sure he’d grown.  Even though 100 grams doesn’t look like much under all those prickles. He’d eaten all his food overnight – including all the hedgehog food and the dried banana. It was quite neat and tidy! No mad parties last night, then. The newspaper was wet and there were two perfect poops left considerately in one corner under the green roof.
Charlie stays in her basket while I’m there, curling herself into a sleeping ball.  Both food dishes are almost empty, and Archie is nowhere to be seen. Naturally.

Around 4 pm I jump up on impulse to find Archie.  Unseen since yesterday morning, it was bothering me.  Archie is reclining (the only word for it) on the low bench thing behind the woodpile. We exchange long, both-eye blinks, catspeak for Life’s a Beach!  Good.

Evg.
Tiggs is fine.  He’d had some food during the day and was still sleepy when I went in - fell asleep straight away when I put him into the red crate. 
Back in his cage, he stuck his nose into the puppy food, said Fine thank you, and went straight back to bed.
Where is the large fish in the living room tank? Bit of a panic. I have a good look and can’t see him anywhere. Eventually spot him, upright against the glass, suckered on behind the water pipe. Apparently eating algae. Or cleaning the glass for you.

Remembered to put Tiggs' new weight on to the wall calendar. Borrowing your ‘phone glasses’, tried to read your notes so far. I can make out most of it except the bit which looks like he’s Not Snoring, or possibly Not Smoking.
