Bonding with my grumpy hedgehog

Bonding with Mr Hedgie, no editing. It's not always easy with hedgehogs. I tried to take him out of his cage regularly to get him used to being handled. I waited late in the evenings to not mess with his sleeping cycles (here, it was around 11 pm). As they don't see well, they relay on their sens of smell a lot, so I tried to put my finger slowly close to his nose not to spook him. He eventually relaxed and started to explore.
