No More Worm Snacks!
Getting the advice from one’s physician that they could stand to lose a few pounds is something that nobody enjoys hearing, but for this overweight hedgehog, it’s especially upsetting. The expression of rage on this hedgehog’s face says it all. The veterinarian suggested that the spiny pet cut down on his food intake and exercise more so that he could maintain a healthy weight.
In spite of the amusing expression on his face, obesity in hedgehogs is a serious threat to their health. Hedgehogs that are too heavy cannot roll themselves into a ball for protection, and they also suffer from a variety of other health problems. Although this irate little critter isn’t happy about having to forego his favorite snack, it’s for the best that he has to do so.
