Baby Hedgehogs and Job Interviews: Two week mark


Today I have had one class of economics, and will have a calculus tutorial and a biology lab to soon follow. I also have a job interview for the position of a residence assistant. With a little bit of luck I should have some income coming in throughout the semester which would be nice. Several girls down on first floor have breeded their hedgehogs, and the 40 day gestation period ended yesterday. Upon birthing the "hoglets" the mother ate four of them. Two of them were rescued from the mother, and have been fed by hand every two hours for the past day now. Here is a picture of the two little guys (or girls) that survived the mothers hungry rampage. They look a little like wild cucumbers, only pink. http://www.shortcourses.com/naturelog/cucumber-04.jpg.
