I just spent the night nursing a cushion tassel thinking it was a baby hedgehog

Ok so my back is currently in spasm so am blaming my high strength painkillers for being such an idiot. Last night after letting the dogs out for a wee they became incredibly excited and it was because there was a hedgehog outside. I quickly got the dogs in and the hedgehog went on it's merry way. I was in the living room watching lots of episodes of Doc Martin (my new fav programme). I looked down and saw a small white soft spiky thing. I picked it up and panicked it was the shape of a baby hedgehog but white. I googled baby hedgehogs it looked the same. I was awake until 3 am cradling and keeping warm a cushion tassel. Googling and learning all about how to care for a baby hedgehog. FFS what a moron 🤣 I only realised this morning in the daylight what it was.

Should have gone to Specsavers OP

PhoenixIsFlying · 27/02/2021 15:19

I promise you it's not made up. I thought it was curled up because it was frightened. I thought the dogs must have disturbed the nest and brought it in. I googled how to uncurl a hedgehog and was gently stroking it with warm water. Now it is daylight it is plainly obvious it's not a hedgehog. Must have been the co codamol fuzzing with my brain.
