Wedgehogs...and in memory of Gwen

The Wedges family is always growing, and today, we happily introduce two new members, Gwen and Beck, the wedgehogs:


Wedgehogs have spiky backs and fuzzy tummies, but in Beck and Gwen's case, even their spikes are pretty soft. They tend to keep to themselves, but Miko and Mantari attempt to play with them whenever they can.

Gwen is an extra-special albino wedgehog, complete with laser eyes (eyes do not actually shoot lasers). Diversity is valued in Wedgeland!

On a special note, this post is in memory of another Gwen, the wedgehogs namesake. Sadly, the ever adventurous Gwen the albino hedgehog passed away this past night of April 17th, 2008. She was the mother of 2 sets of babies, 7 in total, and was much loved by her family.










This is not a goodbye to Gwen, as she will live on, preserved in Wedgeland, as the Wedgehog matriarch, and instigator of wedgehog adventures!






Watch for Beck and Gwen online and soon in the wedge shop!

I'm so sorry to hear about Gwen, but your wedgehogs are absolutely adorable (my mom says they look like grapefruit though)!!
