Here’s a video that will give you a new appreciation for the simple joys of life. The star of this video is a hedgehog who is receiving what can only be described as the massage of his life. We’re all jealous. 

A Moment of Pure Bliss

The video opens with a heartwarming scene—a hedgehog comfortably positioned on his back. There’s something we don’t commonly see in these spiky little mammals. The best part is the transformation of the hedgehog’s demeanor as the massage progresses.

The Magic Touch

As the gentle strokes on his tummy continue, his tiny head, initially held up with curiosity, gradually relaxes, sinking into a blissful rest. But it’s his tiny hands that steal the show – initially curled up, they slowly open and relax to the sides, a universal sign of contentment and ease. 

Hedgehog Fun Facts

To add to the charm of the video, here are some fun facts about hedgehogs:

  • Hedgehogs are primarily nocturnal, spending most of the day sleeping and becoming active at night.
  • When they encounter a new smell or taste, hedgehogs often perform a ritual called self-anointing, where they create a frothy saliva and spread it on their quills.
  • And they are lactose intolerant!
