Cute Overload! :)

Everyone knows hedgehogs are prone to tubaholism. They can't help it. They get their little moist nosicles wedged into a toilet paper tube and they CAN'T STOP.

This one's a goner.

Quentin and Jessica D., you should really get some help. Just sayin'.

Oh yes. That CO video with the Sonic music had a hedgie loving a tube as well. It's as natural as cats going for tight spaces.: Deckard Canine; | Feb 26, 2008 at 08:34 AM

Hysterical! That's his best giraffe impression. I love him sitting on his tush just totally at a loss as to what to do, but thinking ooh the clouds look totally tubular through this thing!: Deanna; | Feb 26, 2008 at 08:41 AM

Awww, crazy little hedgie!: Holy Cuteness; | Feb 26, 2008 at 08:43 AM

Does the Boxhab facility have a Tubaholics Anonymous group?: brinnann; | Feb 26, 2008 at 08:44 AM

I was just about to inquire about tubehab...I know some gerbils who need to go.: metsakins; | Feb 26, 2008 at 08:50 AM

I'd love to see a view from the other end of the tube--a tiny nose and a couple of beady eyes peering up out of the darkness ...: LimeyG; | Feb 26, 2008 at 08:54 AM

You can almost hear him saying, "Oh, bloody hell!" Total exasperation. Snoopy little guys.: Beth; | Feb 26, 2008 at 09:05 AM

By sheer coincidence, "White Punks on Dope" was recently voted the official anthem of Hedgehog nation. (Anybody? Anybody? Oh, here...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tubes). Re the pics: somewhere, Salvador Dali is smiling and sawing a tuba in half with a ham sandwich.: berthaslave; | Feb 26, 2008 at 09:17 AM

I just about peed myself laughing at the second pic. Priceless! And The Tubes rock. (Well, at least they did 20-mumble something years ago): Momof2kitties; | Feb 26, 2008 at 09:38 AM

LMAO @ Beth's "Oh bloddy hell!" PERFECT caption! LOL: ButtaRumCake; | Feb 26, 2008 at 09:39 AM

My hedgie isn't allowed to have tubes in his cage anymore, because he always leaves them in his water bowl and it becomes a wet, soggy mess. But outside...man are they great! Jsut like a cat in a basket of clean laundry, the pig will always stick his nose in a tube!: Amanda; | Feb 26, 2008 at 09:52 AM

Awright, who's just seen There Will Be Blood...two quotes in two days? :) I would *love* to see what this little guy looked like from the other end of that tube.: legotech; | Feb 26, 2008 at 10:04 AM

What IS it with these little dudes? Hi-Larious!: possumpiratess; | Feb 26, 2008 at 10:05 AM

His vids on Youtube are adorable too! I hope this link works and he's the quentin I think he is.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFkUpBtH3DM&feature=related: Joha; | Feb 26, 2008 at 10:07 AM

Lol.. that 2nd pic is hilarious!! I can totally hear it saying w/ an echo in the room... "A little help please?" ehehehe I want one!: LisaL; | Feb 26, 2008 at 10:07 AM

if you ignore the feets, I think the second picture looks like a funny little bird with its beak in the air :): caitlin; | Feb 26, 2008 at 10:27 AM

How can you ignore the feet?? They're precious!: Deanna; | Feb 26, 2008 at 10:33 AM

He may be exasperated, but better to have your head in a tube than your head up your...: kayte; | Feb 26, 2008 at 10:37 AM

BTW, I loves him!: kayte; | Feb 26, 2008 at 10:37 AM

People, please! Tubaholism is a serious problem. This obviously requires an intervention. Call for help. Call a doctor. Heck, call Dr. Phil! Don't laugh at the afflicted. They deserve our help, not our humor.: Decca; | Feb 26, 2008 at 10:42 AM

AHHHHH...zees teleescopersons allows moi to see zee reengs of Saturn so cleeeeeeerly!: Jacquie; | Feb 26, 2008 at 10:48 AM

OMG!! The hedgie on his tushie is classic!: chanpon; | Feb 26, 2008 at 11:11 AM

We all know the Internet is a SERIES OF TUBES, so it's obvious this little guy is just trying to get on the 'net!: Shadyman; | Feb 26, 2008 at 11:14 AM

My Buns gets paper tubes all the time. When they're brand new, he gnaws blind because he can't stick his whole head into a tube. I "gave" him an old wrapping paper tube for Christmas though. Wrapped it up in a bow and everything. He looked at it with big, wide eyes. And he ignored it because it was too heavy to throw. :-P: CoffeeCup; | Feb 26, 2008 at 11:22 AM

With me it wasn't a hedgy. I once had a cat who loved to stick her head in things and get them stuck...or I think she loved it since she did it ALL the time...lol.: Patricia; | Feb 26, 2008 at 11:31 AM

It's okay, hedgie, your not alone! I wonder if they think they can shrink down like a mouse or if they just don't think they're that fat. :D: HannahC.; | Feb 26, 2008 at 11:42 AM

McDonalds Germany announced that they will change the design of their McFlurry icecream cups, because several Hedgies died after slurping the dee-liicious icecream. They could not free themselves because they stuck in the plastic ring cap, and died long and painful :( Now the hole will be smaller, so they cant get in so deep anymore. it took McD two years and some dead hedgehogs for this decision.

lol @ him sitting on his little prickly behind, with the tube sticking up. Pictures like this convince me that someday, I must have a hedgehog.: A thinker; | Feb 26, 2008 at 12:24 PM

I feel like this almost every day of my life!! hehehe: Lily; | Feb 26, 2008 at 12:47 PM

pleez-a no squeez-a da charmin: muhj; | Feb 26, 2008 at 02:14 PM

Aaaw! cute! looks just like my grandhedgie aka as Stompy! Just adorable!: HedgieGrammaw; | Feb 26, 2008 at 03:01 PM

ohmygooness that McD's story makes my heart hurt: marmar; | Feb 26, 2008 at 04:27 PM

And, that second pic looks like he's surrendered to the tube...: marmar; | Feb 26, 2008 at 04:29 PM

@Beth: ROFL!!!! "Oh, bloody hell!!" That's it exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!: Gail; | Feb 26, 2008 at 04:40 PM

So funny!!: Maria; | Feb 26, 2008 at 05:04 PM

What are they looking for: Christmas Wedding 2008; | Feb 26, 2008 at 06:06 PM

My old hedgehog would do this. The thing is, he'd fret and run around and you'd take the tube off for him - and then he'd immediately shove his head back in it. A serious problem indeed.: alex; | Feb 26, 2008 at 09:02 PM

Alex, I agree..my hedgie would do the same thing..and as soon as you "rescued" him, he'd do it again..silly critters!: Sunshine0460; | Feb 26, 2008 at 11:34 PM

Shhh... he thinks he's playing the didgeridoo.: redbone; | Feb 27, 2008 at 02:42 AM

Have you seen this King Charles doing tricks. Look like the little hedgehog has some way to go... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west_midlands/7267871.stm: Antonia Mochan; | Feb 28, 2008 at 04:49 AM

Oh, I think we can do better than "Oh bloddy hell!" That second picture deserves a caption in the style of www.Despair.com !: David Harmon; | Feb 28, 2008 at 01:07 PM

I brought this into my local pet store ... the clerk promptly gave the desk-ham a paper-towel tube! Pushers everywhere, aah!: David Harmon; | Feb 29, 2008 at 05:11 AM
