ti me it looks like you don't need to practice anymore - looks perfect: the spikes, the fur, the colour of the skin shining through and - yes, the toes, haha - so pretty he looks...

Thank you very much I don't know much about hedgehogs, but this sounds interested, so I asked google Aparently the Four-toed hedgehog is either the synonym of African Pygmy or the Four-toed is one of the ancestor species that were crossbred in order to "create" the African pygmy. That are the first two solutions google offers, not sure what's true. But no wonder they look similar!

Yes, from what I know, African Pygmy hedgehogs are descended from the Four-toed species, though I could be wrong. If I also recall correctly they even share the same latin name. Hedgehogs are lovely animals, it's fun to watch mine go about his daily life.
