Some animals require more care and resources than others, and for people who don't know much about their needs, it's quite unexpected. For example, people don't realize how difficult it can be to take care of a fish or how many things you need to know before getting a pet rabbit.
Baby hedgehogs are apparently one of those animals who need a little bit more from their owners, but that doesn't stop animal lovers like us from getting them. It's just that... with how much they cost, breaking the news of getting these awwdorable baby hedgehogs can be quite stressful. And for this twitter users, it was so stressful, their mom literally thought they were coming out instead.
These tweets are somehow both funny and heartwarming lol, and we love them.
You gotta give it to the mom though. If she truly believed that this person was about to come out and this was her reaction, then she really does rock. We could only hope for all moms to be so wholesome and supportive of their kids like that. Tell your mom we love her, she's awesome.
We honestly never imagined that getting a pet hedgehog is something so expensive, but... looking at this little cutie pie, we can totally see why people would pay endless money to have one. Like, oh my god, that might be the cutest hedgehog we've ever seen. Worth every penny.
