About Me

Lily + Umber = lumber. no, no, no... it's Ham.

Born on September 17th, Ham came from Hamor Hollow Hedgehogs in Pelham, New Hampshire. Ham shares his name with the first hominid in outer space . Ham pretty much sleeps all day long but when he's out he likes to eat bugs. At night after we go to bed, Ham likes to wake up and wheel all night. He also plays with a few different cat toys and a green Viking Chubbie mini roadster. He enjoys the color purple and plaid flannel.

My Interests

sleeping, wheeling, pooping, eating bugs, small dark places, flannel.

I'd like to meet:

This is Ham's mum and dad, Lily and Umber...

Music:

it’s been a long time

It’s been so long since I last updated Ham’s blog. I guess it’s a little tricky trying to dork out on a hedgehog hard enough to come up with something every week. Anyways, all is goo...

ham weighs in

Ham weighs in at 333 grams, nearly three quarters of a pound. At almost 5 months old that seems like a very healthy weight, despite the fact that he still looks on the small size frame-wise....

mama papa

So I was browsing through some of Hamor Hollow's pictures when I saw a picture of "Umber Mcwhite". I remember seeing him when I had my first visit. He's a rare double white hedgehog, 100% white quills...

So I decided to motivate Ham by putting him in a plastic storage container with a few small crickets in it and for the hell of it I put a large one in there too. Go figure it took him about two hours ...
