This short video features a hedgehog a Riverside County Animal Services officer retrieved from a Rivreside (Calif.) backyard. Hedgehogs are illegal to own in California, so we sent the critter to one of our awesome rescue partner organizations that has a permit to care for such exotic pets. Our team fell in love with the little, spiny-coated buddy and nicknamed it “Nic,” short for one of the world’s most famous hedgehogs, Sonic (of Sega video game fame).
