The cat bought a baby rabbit home today just about as big as he is, all he had eaten was the throat! but I think I got it before he could eat anymore. The dog went crazy wanting it, hes been stalking it for weeks but could never catch it...I dont plan of eating it its in the bin!!!

I would be inclined to roast it, leave the skin/prickles on as this will stop the meat from drying out, it should peel off easily enough when cooked, gut it though and stuff the cavity with a stuffing of worms, breadcrumbs, onion weed and some egg to bind. You could just before serving put some peas on each of the prickles this would look quite effective.

Good idea, or just throw a party and use it as a centrepiece and add cheese cubes and pineapple.

Apparently you should use clay to make a ball around the hedgehog, put it in the embers of the fire (you need to gut it but not to remove the spines).Cook slowly.Break open the clay and the spines and skin will gently peel off.Don't ask me how I know this.!

Don't ask me how I know it either ... but it's definitely an old way of cookinga Mrs. Tiggy-winkle.

I can just see you with your pet hedgehog snuggled up on your lap on a cold winter's evening, keeping you company beside the fire or taking it for walks in warm summer evenings. I'd find it really hard to eat a pet though, especially if I'd named it. What was your hedgehog called?
