Awwww... Mommy's a Brush!

Remember the cute, injured hedgehogs? Oh, I bet you do. Well, let me remind you...


AAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW! Wookie! Da itty-bitty hedgie-wedgie got a boo-boo!

If you recall, that baby hedgehog broke his little legs falling out of the shrubbery because global warming made it impossible for him to hibernate properly. His little brother got hurt, too.


AAAAAWWWWWWWW! Who's da widdle gimpy with da widdle limpy?

See? It works because it's both exceedingly adorable and exceptionally sad.

You ain't seen nothing yet, B&E readers.

Four hedgehogs were orphaned when their mother was "crushed by a council palette truck." It breaks your fucking heart, doesn't it?

Well, just when you want to break down and cry in your beer, the orphaned hedgehogs go and do something so cute that you find yourself breaking down and crying in your beer - but this time from a place of cuteness!


AAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW! WHO FINKS DA WIDDLE BRUSHIE IS MUM!?

See that, B&E readers? Because the baby hedgehogs don't. They're mostly blind, so the smell and bristly feel of the garden brush were all they needed to adopt a new mother.

And the brush doesn't even seem to mind!

[This is an old story, brought to my attention by BuzzFeed. And just because there's still one more cute hedgehog photo...]
