Nearly everybody loves Mecki ... the little hedgehog in my hand

Kiss x

mani forti e dolci ....

Nearly everybody loves Mecki ... the little hedgehog in my hand by Batikart.

Almost everyone loves hedgehogs. This baby hedgehog was brought me during my 8-year NABU activity in Northern Germany in autumn 1999 for breeding. (I had a great garden next to the forest with a lot of plants and different flower). He weighed only 160 g. I have fed him with apples, nuts and cat food and gave him water to drink until he hibernated!
PLEASE, NEVER GIVE HEDGEHOGS MILK TO DRINK ... it is not good for them and they will get ill !!
If you want to know more about hedgehogs: British Hedgehogs
I have the picture taken with my former Olympus SLR camera and now scanned .... at this time I haven't had a digital camera ....

View On Black

Fast jeder liebt wohl Igel. Dieses Igelbaby wurde mir während meiner 8-jährigen aktiven NABU (Naturschutzbund Deutschland e.V.) Zeit in Norddeutschland im Herbst 1999 zur Aufzucht gebracht. (Ich hatte einen großen Garten am Wald mit vielen Pflanzen und verschiedenen Blumen.) Er wog nur 160 g. Ich habe ihn bis zum Winterschlaf mit vegetarischer Kost wie Apfel, Samen, Nüsse und Futter von meiner Katze als Dosenfutter "aufgepäppelt"! Zu trinken bekam er Wasser.
BITTE IGELN NIEMALS MILCH ZUM TRINKEN GEBEN ... sie vertragen diese nicht und bekommen Durchfall !!!
Wer mehr über Igel wissen möchte: Bund Naturschutz.
Aufgenommen habe ich das Bild mit meiner damaligen Olympus Spiegelreflex Kamera und hatte es noch gescannt auf meinem PC .... damals hatte ich noch keine Digital Kamera ....

Man sieht zwar, dass es ein eingescanntes Bild ist, aber der Bildinhalt ist trotzdem toll. Der Igel mit neugierigem Blick in den schützenden Händen. Klasse gemacht.
