hoglet

noun

1. A baby hedgehog.

   “At birth, newborn hoglets are pink, blind, and completely helpless.”

   “In nature, hoglets that age would follow their mother out of the nest and learn from her how to procure food by digging in the ground.”

   “If the hog parents develop the disease, you can be pretty sure the hoglets will too—even when they’re raised in different places, fed different diets, cared for by different owners.”
