Greetings from Ned!
Hello, my name is Ned. I am hybrid of the African pygmy hedgehog and the Algerian hedgehog and I was informed a couple of weeks ago that I am the official Talk Trek mascot. Whatever, as long as the Star Trek episodes and the mealworms keep coming. I suppose I have to do *something* to earn my keep around here. I was born in July 2008 at Hedgehog Valley in Iola, KS.
Truth be told, I spend most of my day sleeping. Like most hedgehogs, I am most active during the evening and night, though Jim’s wife likes to get me up during the day sometimes so she can coo at me and tell me how cute I am (and I’m not complaining). I eat high-grade cat food, some human foods (I just love beef brisket!), and mealworms. During the night, I like to run on my wheel and stick my little nose in old toilet paper tubes. They’re just so fascinating—all the patterns, all the ways I can lose balance and roll on my back, it’s just so much fun (and I look so good doing it).
I’ll be watching Star Trek episodes with Jim from now on and give you the hedgehog’s take on the action. If I like the episode, you’ll get to see my face, but if it’s a bad episode you’ll get to see just how much of a ball I can roll into (I’m easily offended). Is it kind of silly? Sure, it is, but if it’s what I gotta do to get some good barbecue around here….
Anyway, I am going to do some cute hedgehog things like burrow in a blanket on the couch. See you later!

Holy cow, this hedgehog is so cute! I have just decided that I am going to get a hedgehog, because my Sugarglider (and loyal friend, Peanut, died.
I guess I am still in the phase of doing my research, I want the happiest and healthiest hedgie I can have.
