I used to have a hedgehog so here is one fun fact about this cuties:

hedgehogs perform a curious behavior called "self-anointing". When a hedgehog encounters a new or strong scent, it will lick or chew the source and then produce a frothy saliva. It then contorts itself to spread this frothy saliva all over its spines using its tongue. Scientists aren't entirely sure why hedgehogs do this ¯_(ツ)_/¯, but it's thought to be a way to camouflage their scent or possibly to incorporate the new smell into their own for defense purposes!

When I saw this for the first time and didn't know about it, I thought my hedgie was going to the other side of the rainbow. xD
