Real hedgehogs are becoming more and more popular pets. Our designers have created a whimsical, contemporary interpretation of this unusual creature with the prickly spines in a plush toy we call �Hedgy.� With his joyous expression, pudgy body, and super-soft fabrics, we think Hedgy is even cuter than the real thing. And with his high-density seams and meticulous hand craftsmanship, this fabulous fabric friend is engineered to stand the test of time, even after machine washing. From our �Soft Cuddly Friends� collection of toys designed to put the joy of owning a genuine Steiff animal within reach of every child. Featuring the famous �Button in Ear� trademark, symbol of the company that invented soft toys over 140 years ago.
