Forget chihuahuas and teacup poodles. The hottest pet to carry in your handbag now is a pygmy hedgehog!
Trend monitors predict these spiky cuties will grace the purse of every style-loving WAG this winter. And at £250 a pop, they’re a lot cheaper than many designer accessories! And just like any other fashion must have, they are available in a range of stylish colors.
The adorable woodland creatures can snuggle into the palm of your hand. It’s so tempting to snaffle one of these tiny critters, but animal rights campaigners say we shouldn’t be so hasty.
The RSPCA says the needs of the miniature hedgehogs “are very difficult to meet in a household situation and where that’s the case, the RSPCA does not believe they should be kept.“
It’s easy to get sucked in by those beady little eyes and itty bitty bodies, but it’s worth thinking long and hard before adding a spiny pet to your purse!
