Snowball the Albino Hedgehog

snowball-the-albino-hedgehog.jpg

An albino hedgehog named Snowball has been put on a diet and exercise machine at St Tiggywinkles hospital in Aylesbury. The spiney creature tipped the scales at 3 times its normal weight after feasting on dog food before it was rescued. 

Only 1 in 10,000 hedgehogs is born albino so is this a subtle way for Mother Nature to alert us that food is a scarce and much valued resource and that over-eating is contributing to environmental chaos, especially as the world’s human population continues to grow apace.

**** Do you love Hedgehogs is one of the most popular questions on my website. Thanks for visiting. You would make my day if you click on  ‘Hello from Chrissie’ http://watch.thehaymakerssurvey.com/events-hertford-castle-and-others/ before you go ****
