Here are some heckin’ handsome hedgehogs for your happiness — for real this time!

I am a cuteness purveyor of my word. So as promised after last week’s bait and switch (#sorrynotsorry), here are some actual hedgehogs for us to coo over.

I think many of us can relate to the hedgies. Prickly exterior, inclined to curl up and shut out the world, but all adorable when we relax. So unroll, channel your inner hedgehog, and enjoy this collection of cuteness to start your weekend.
