I LOVE hedgehogs. First thing we caught in the live cat trap here was a HUGE hedgehog. I was so excited, poor little thing.
I'm pretty sure that hedgehog fleas can't live off people. I don't know about cats, dogs, seahorses, llamas etc.0 -
Well I guess that his being surprised is good - right?He asked if I was happy to have them despite my headache. I said "Two kids playing quietly downstairs, four kids playing quietly downstairs - doesn't make any difference. I'll be upstairs under a duvet catching up on some internet forums"
He looked very shocked and surprised. It turned out he thought I'd said "catching up on some internet !!!!!!" and thought that wouldn't really be my sort of thing. :rotfl:I think....0 -

It's like a Hay Pinocchio Rug.
You can buy a round one that's 3 metre diameter. Nearly a carpet.

tht one is much nicer, thank you!
But I want it for the staircase.
Rugs might result in broken necks! 0 -
Make your own..... I used to do rug making when I was a kid. I can do the rug bit, but I was never shown how to finish the edges off.... but it's something you can do without even looking, e.g. when you're lying under the duvet, or watching TV. Even when you're sitting at the station for 10 minutes waiting to pick up his nibs.lostinrates wrote: »tht one is much nicer, thank you!

Hook through the canvas, put the wool in, pull it half way back through, then twist/pull to pull the ends through and it's a tuft. Repeat until finished.
Make one to fit the stairs, using old fashioned stair rods to keep it in place. You could even do it in pieces I bet... so do 2-3 treads at a time.
Edit: Or you could make little stair-sized individual canvases and fit them with some rubber back and glue/similar/whatever. They'd be easily manageable then, small ovals, or rectangles.0 -

Do you really?...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
Why didn't you just pick it up? Hedgehogs don't bite AFAIK at least the ones I've picked up haven't.
They are usually hopping with fleas, though?...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
Whilst it's illegal to disturb the bats, is there any law against your ma getting a cat, maybe two? Maybe just borrowing them for a week?
My mother has a cat - my Mr. Yossie, who my Dad calls Chairman Miour, or Pol Puss, because although pure white and wearing a noisy collar, he kills ruthlessly.
He doesn't do bats, though. Just as well, for his health....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
OMG, I've just done that colour test thingy and I'm so bad I think I might be colour blind!*
*This shouldn't be too much of a surprise as both my dad & son have the same form of colour blindness, but I thought I was ok 0
