Nothing cheers me up quite like pictures of baby animals.
Of course, I'd rather pet a baby animal, but if there are no puppies or kittens nearby, photos are the next best thing.
As a dog lover, I usually rely on puppy photos to brighten my day. Recently, though, I've been venturing out of my comfort zone and exploring the other baby animals the internet has to offer.
After some intense online sleuthing, I came across something almost as good as puppies: baby hedgehogs.
We've been sleeping on baby hedgehog photos, people. These little nuggets are so small, you can barely even see where their eyes are. They look like little wrinkly old men, and all they do is nap and eat!
Baby hedgehogs are my new favorite animals, and hopefully after these photos, they will be yours, too. I don't see why they wouldn't be — their little legs are hard to resist!
Did these baby hedgehogs put a smile on your face? Make sure to SHARE these photos on Facebook!
That's one proud mama!

Baby hedgehogs love baby blankets, too.

They're barely the size of a muffin!

Being this cute is exhausting.

He looks like a little buddha!

Just saying a quick hello!

I want a hedgehog kiss!

Apparently, the spikes are soft on newborns!

Just one big, happy family.
