Child with dead hedgehog?

Little girls too.

I remember one who was fascinated by dead insects when she was about four.
Yes, she did go on to study biochemistry.

My brothers terrier used to kill hedgehogs in the garden and come in the house covered in fleas - not nice at all, none our family has the slightest fascination with dead animals.

We found a dead hedgehog in a corner of the garden ☹
Something had eaten it, no DG around to inspect it so DH had to use a shovel to take it to the bin.

Badgers kill and eat hedgehogs.

A badger can't get into our back garden although we've seen them at the front.

The hedgehog was a sad sight.

I saw a baby rabbit dead in a local paddock which had been partially eaten by birds while walking my two dogs. I got a stick and moved it into the longer grass - just feel carcasses are more dignified if moved out of view.

I used to bury dead birds that I found and dig the bones up later. I had read a book that told me how to boil the bodies to get the bones, but my mother wouldn't let me do that in the kitchen!

I knew a rather eccentric person once who kept small animal and bird skulls on their 4 x 4 dash board, much to the horror of their rather posh friends to whom they gave lifts.
