West European Hedgehog at Prague, 25/08/12

I've seen hundreds of hedgehogs but I don't think I've ever seen an exhibit for Europeans in a proper zoo!

There are two good-sized open-topped exhibits on the floor of the two walk-in European bird aviaries. In 2010 one of these held European herps but now both are hedgehogs.

There are also African Pygmy/White-bellied Hedgehogs in the 'Afrika Zblicka' House, but (most of us!) didn't manage to see these.

That's the species I'd be expecting to see, fair play to Prague for exhibiting an unusual but common species.

Being open-topped I hope the birds have never tried nesting in either of the exhibits.
