Muppet!

GUESS WHAT? I have a new roommate! I adopted a baby........hedgehog! He's now 2 months old, but I've had him since he was 5 weeks.

His name is Muppet.

Muppet lives in a glass tank on my dresser, but he gets to walk around my room whenever I'm home. He loves eating, pushing things around with his nose, and making as much noise as he possibly can. He accomplishes this by biting his water bottle, pulling his head back, then letting it go so it hits against the tank wall. (Trust me, it's my favorite when he does this for 15 minutes straight at 2:00 in the morning).

However, loud noises are only okay when he makes them. Any other noise, apparently, is terrifying to him. I'm hoping it's just because he's a baby, because it's kind of sad. Phone calls, sneezes, opening doors and windows, zipping up my backpack, regular conversation---they're all SUPER SCARY. So he curls into a little Muppet-ball and hyperventilates until he feels the danger is gone.

Scared Muppet. Oh yeah, camera clicks are really scary too.

When Muppet isn't scared, he's playful and likes exploring.

Muppet likes to be warm, and spends a lot of time sleeping on his heating pad. He also likes to sleep in my sweatshirt hood.

So...that's my most recent news from D.F.! I have no really good excuse for not posting in awhile, other than that I've been relatively busy with the new job and the places that I want to post about are all swamped on the weekends...Hopefully I'll have a chance to explore some lesser-crowded areas soon!
