Say hello to Lil' Ma'am, our pet hedgehog! And thanks a million to The Stickman for drawing my ferret self holding her!

Glass and I have been taking great care of our domesticated friend for almost three months now; she's really warmed up to us, enjoys her fancy living conditions, and is especially happy to run on her exercise wheel for what seems like literal miles at night! We clean her cage regularly, provide free room service on a daily basis, give her a healthy and presumably tasty diet, offer delicious wormy treats at times, and carefully play with her some outside her cage when she's feeling up for it. Much like me, she has a nocturnal lifestyle, although she takes that a step further by sleeping for about 18 hours a day; daily training for the marathon is hard work! Her main home is a large terrarium of sorts with comfy bedding in most areas, although there's also a heated pad under part of it to let her adjust her resting conditions.

And much to our delight, she's extremely cute and really trusting around us! I'm really happy to help her have a happy life; she's about three years old and passed her last exotic vet checkup with flying colors, and we'll continue to take excellent care of her. Lil' Ma'am is super adorable and has many online fans as well!

Thanks again to The Stickman for making this as a surprise birthday gift; it made me extremely happy and is one of my favorite presents ever. Lil' Man has very specific markings as well, so it's really cool how the artist managed to include details like that into his first hedgehog drawing of sorts. I share cute pictures of Lil' Man onto Bluesky and Discord at times, but you should also look at The Stickman's other art uploads and blogging website when you can; he's extremely talented and deserves many more views, so please look at his other content and leave comments sometime!
