This is my little boy, who passed away two days after my birthday on the 11th. I was on the way to the vet when he succumbed to his illness.. I still don't know what did it.

Lamington was a very sweet little hedgehog. I took him everywhere with me.. once to school. He'd hide in my hoodie pouch and fall asleep. He was a 'laphog'.. loved to fall asleep with his nose right under your chin. His favourite things were to annoy and confuse my cats and to chew on his sock. I miss him a lot.. and it wasn't fair. The store KNEW he was sick, but told me he was only stressed..
As an apology the store contacted a breeder for a 'replacement'.. as in turns out the new litter is from Lamington's parents, so I'll be adopting one of his little brothers or sisters. I hope he lets me know which one to choose.. It'll be hard to live up to his standards, though..

I just hope where he is, there's lots of socks..
