Shming swimming

Please vote at http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/shelterchallenge.faces#shelterVoteSection_header for the Hedgehog Welfare Society in Chaplin, CT to win up to a $25,000 grant. African hedgehogs are "fad" pets. This means they are frequently bought on impulse, then once the novelty wears off they are often unwanted, neglected, abused, and even abandoned. Domesticated African hedgehogs do not have survival skills and would die in the wild, especially in colder climates because they cannot hibernate. "Release" is a death sentence for these little animals, whether it is by starvation, predators, or cold. Shming the African hedgehog plays, swims, and floats. HE is 3 years, 7 months, and 11 days old in this video. DO NOT try this with an inexperienced swimmer. Shming is an excellent swimmer, but you could drown one if you don't know EXACTLY what you're doing! Even the best swimmer should NEVER, EVER be left alone! Do not make rude comments about his weight, as it has already been explained. Many people have asked how they can obtain an African hedgehog. This is not a matter to be taken lightly. They require special care and are very prone to cancer, as well as other diseases, and treatment can become expensive. Their care takes time and much research. Please do your research before you adopt ANY animal. Hedgehogcentral.com is a very good place to start. Hedgehogs are illegal in Arizona, California, Georgia, Maine, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Hawaii, and New York City. Even if you live somewhere I haven't listed, you should still check the laws in your area regarding exotic animals.
