If it ever got lose by mistake the dogs would get it if your door was open by mistake . The cleaning of the cage would get very old fast . Besides all this they are adorable .

One such animal was a newborn opossum. The mother, carrying six or seven babies in her pouch, had been hit by a car. The mother didn't survive, nor did the babies, except for one. It was a little biggere than a kidney bean, but we nursed it and raised it. It used to sit on my shoulder all day while I worked on the computer. When it was big enough to explore, it did so (inside) without fear of the three or four cats that followed it around in awe and confusion. Apparently, opposums have very bad eyesight, and I don't think this one ever saw the cats. Sadly, as you said, she only lived a short time - maybe two or three years. She was a strange animal, but she will always be remembered. BTW, hedgehogs aren't rodents, they belong to the order Erinaceomorpha (no, I didn't already know that - I had to look it up). Thanks for the comments!

Jonas - Apr 6, 2012 11:44:53 — According to wikipedia.org (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedgehog), "Hedgehogs are easily recognized by their spines, which are hollow hairs made stiff with keratin. Their spines are not poisonous or barbed..."
