Poppy 🌈🦔🐾
September 21st, 2022 - October 2nd, 2026
Last night PKRS lost a very special hedgie, and we are just so heartbroken. Poppy was from one of my last ever litters before I retired from breeding. She was a fighter! The only baby to survive her litter, and she was a fighter until the end.
A one of a kind hedgehog. Beautiful, full of personality, and just a girl who loved to eat and run on her wheel!
Poppy was from our Vex'ahlia & Floki litter, and I think she was the perfect mix of her parents, her coloring was so beautiful like her dad, and she had so much personality like her mom!
During the past couple of months, Poppy started to develop oral cancer, which unfortunately is common in hedgehogs. There was nothing we could do for her surgically, we just kept her happy, loved, and comfortable until the end.
She thoroughly enjoyed her nightly wet food and high calorie packets, she would wait at her cage door anytime i'd enter her office and beg ❤
It was so hard to say goodbye to her, and my office seems so empty without her presence. It truly feels like an end of an era for The Prickled Rose/Prickled Rose Hedgehogs, I cant believe its been 4 years since I said goodbye to breeding. While I miss it so much every day, and absolutely loved all the hedgehogs we produced, I dont know if I have it in my heart yet to ever get back into it!
Currently we still have our two foster fail old ladies, Priscilla and Sage 🤍
Oh Poppy girl, you are already so missed, I love you so so much! I hope you're eating all the wormiez and running on your wheel pain free 🌈🦔🐾
