This Hedgehog is Not a Model




Diet for Mr Piggy-Winkle

Thorny issue ... hedgehog's weight

Published: 14 Nov 2007

GEORGE the hedgehog looks more like a porky-pine after scoffing his way to FOUR times the average size.

He was handed to a wildlife sanctuary in Leatherhead, Surrey, by householders worried he must have an illness.

In fact George, who weighs nearly five pounds and measures more than 31 inches around, was just fat.

Staff are putting him on a six-month diet.
