Well, well. This is a story of a summer. Together with my sister we were enjoying a late summer evening, eating strawberries with cream and talking. It is still very much light in the evenings here, and it gets dark after 23 p.m. So NO problem to see a hedgehog on a grass near by. I thought, well would be fun if she/he would come to MY garden. So I dropped some of the cream on the grass in front of me (also on my rubber garden shoes...). I did not need to wait long. The hedgehog came very quickly and spotted the cream. I stood motionless, just observing. But suddenly the hedgehog wished to taste the cream on my shoes. Well, no problem I thought. He is just going to lick it, like from the grass. How wrong I was! The hedgehog has bite my in my shoe (good it was rather thick). I was trying to let it go off my shoe, by shaking it in the air. Is holded tight though....After a while the hedgehog dropped off on the grass. As a memory, I have a signes of his teeth deeply imprinted on my garden shoe.
Please, consider, hedgehogs are wild animals, and in spite that they might look rather friendly, they can actually bite!
