Mochi update
today she unrolled more willingly and we played for an hour. she's still a bit jumpy at any movements around her. she laid in my hand for awhile but i woke her up and she walked around on me and then got on the floor and started exploring but i didn't want her to eat any spiders so i tried to clean up but it scared her and she balled up and didn't wanna unroll anymore. i put her back in her house and am going to bed now. i have some more pictures of her unrolled crawling on my hand. those pictures to be posted later...

Mochi
I got a pet...it's a little hedgehog. haha...it's really cute but awfully painful to handle. Oh mochi...she's so cute. She looks a lot like a mochi when she's all curled up in a ball. pictures later...now she's basically a ball most of the time.
update:
today i gave mochi her first bath, she was enjoying it for awhile and then suddenly she just scurried into my hand out of the water. i guess she was done. haha...hedgehogs are interesting pets. they require a lot of trust building. it's not like dogs where they almost immediately bond to you with little work required. hedgehogs on the other hand, are nocturnal so they are grumpy as hell in the morning and are painful to touch if they don't trust you. today my mochi and I had our first bonding moment. she unballed for the first time in my hand and i placed her in my lap. she remained there unballed until i picked her up again. she balled up but immediately unballed once she was fully supported in my hands. wanted to let her run around on the floor but when i put her down, she didn't move. she's a lot of fun. more updates later.
