Johann, the hedgehog, had a hard time in life. He was found in a condition not many people still giving him a chance of survival. He was weak, underfed and suffered from skin diseases - he hardly had any hair left in the face area. My wife's intense care over months saved his life - and gave hope for a positive future.
