Hedgehogs are amazing. You'd never guess that beneath that casually trundling little body, biological magic is happening - at lightning speed. The time between conception and birth is just 5 weeks. Five weeks! From nothing, to a fully formed little hedgehog. And not just one. The average litter size is 5! Imagine being able to grow 5 perfect little babies in just five weeks. Just 6 weeks after birth they have a protective coat, a full set of beetle-crunching teeth, and are weaned and completely independent. At just 6 weeks old! And here, dear little Woody shows us some of the magic. These photos are just one week apart. 7 days! Just look how much his coat has grown! It won't be long before sweet long-suffering Woody will be back out in the wild, getting a second chance at life.
