Who says they don't make great pets?

Sure you have to watch you don't step on him,  
especially at night

Sometimes he does wake me up  
with the patter of his tiny feet

But I love sending him out

He'll bring the occasional apple,  
some leaves

But the mushrooms, let me tell you!

You might say I'm high on the hedgehog
