Pet of the Week: Edgar the Hedgehog

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Clemson chapter.

This week’s pet belongs to our Senior Editor, Carly. This little hedgehog is named Edgar (after Edgar Allan Poe) and he is a year and a half old. Carly got him in July of 2015 and the two have been buddies ever since. Edgar loves when he gets playtime out of his cage and cuddles with Carly while she is doing her homework. He’s not the friendliest to strangers, but if you give him time he is sure to warm up to you! Occasionally you can find him on campus with Carly, enjoying the time outdoors.
