Bald Hedgehog

Remember the bald bear we featured on Neatorama yesterday? Well here's another case of unusual baldness - this time it's a bald ... hedgehog?

A bald hedgehog abandoned by his mother in a garden in Norfolk is being treated at a wildlife rescue centre in a bid to encourage his spikes to grow.

Baldrick, named after the character from the television programme Blackadder, was brought to Foxy Lodge wildlife rescue centre, Great Yarmouth.

He is now being cared for by Tonia and John Garner in the hope he can be eventually released into the wild. Treatment includes antiseptic scrubs and baby oil massages.

I'd suggest a laser comb to stimulate those spike follicles, but what do I know?: Link
