Max has been busy at work lately! In fact, I’m hanging out with him right now! Max and Amex will be in town on business for about a month and a half, so expect more pictures of those guys more often!

Max At Work

Max is keeping busy these days. His owner takes him to work every day, to the set of a TV show no less! Right now they’re doing casting so there’ve been UNNAMED FAMOUS PEOPLE running in and out, picking him up, playing with him, etc.. Max is a hedgehog living the human dream!

Max Cuteness: A Farewell To Paws

Brad O'Farrell — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 01:30:17 +0000

So, as I mentioned earlier, I have to say goodbye to Amex and Max for a while. They’re in good hands–they’re both with their original owner; I was only their co-owner. I’ll be visiting them often and will be sent pictures of them. I’ll still post about them on Snuzzy whenever I can. By a strange coincidence, they may actually be moving to the same city I’m in depending on an as of yet undecided decision by a giant corporation that owns their owner’s boss. Pets! So complicated!

Anyway, before I left I wanted to get a group shot of them all together, but it didn’t go so well. Mainly because Amex is a cat who not only does not like to be held, she also doesn’t like to be held up against a spikey hedgehog.

That last picture kind of looks like I’m trying to get Amex to “stop making a scene” in front of company.

But never fear! There are tons of cute animals where I’m staying now. I only got pictures of a few–a cat named Fuzzface (sigh, I didn’t name her) and a smelly dog named Wyatt, pictured with my littler brother, who also smells. I’ll post pictures of the others as I get them:

This cat is sharing his milk with some kind of little animal… I think it might be a young hedgehog, but not an African pygmy like Max, a ‘normal’ one. Cuteness.

Max Cuteness: Baths

Brad O'Farrell — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 23:30:59 +0000

When I posted this video of me giving my hedgehog a bath I got a bit of guff from the YouTube nuts. A few non-hedgehog owners insisted that hedgehogs are naturally clean and don’t need baths and that bathing a hedgehog is abuse. Any hedgehog owner’s reaction to that would be: “I wish!”

Hedgehogs are so far from being naturally clean. Their favorite hobbies are running, pooping and digging. Hedgehogs can get really dirty really fast and you should bathe them every few weeks using ‘no tears’ baby shampoo to keep them healthy and happy. Otherwise they’ll be susceptible to bacteria that can make them sick. They also really enjoy baths–it’s the least spiky you’ll ever see them. Sometimes I’ll give Max a quick rinse in the water just to calm him down.

Can’t see the video in your reader? Watch it here.

And the best part of giving Max a bath is that he looks SO CUTE and snug drying off in his facecloth:
