Operation Strawberry Sauna – How we’re turning the living room into a jungle
A Prickly Start to the Gardening Season
Hello my dear friends of neat adventures! It's me again, little Viki, the bravest and most curious hedgehog explorer in the world. I'm telling you, today is a very special day! While the winter wind is still whistling around the houses outside, my humans have decided that we won't wait for spring any longer. If spring won't come to us, we'll just bring it into our living room!
Today is January 27, 2026, and I was just sitting cozily in my favorite spot when Mom and Dad suddenly came around the corner with a whole load of mysterious packages and bags. My little nose immediately started twitching. Does that smell like adventure? Or maybe new cuddly blankets? No, it was much better: we've become gardeners! On the packets were beautiful pictures of bright red tomatoes, crunchy peppers, fiery chilies, and – hold your breath – sugar-sweet strawberries. Seeing the strawberries, I would have loved to pack my bags and climb right into the packet.

A Winter Fairytale on the Tierstein: When Hedgehogs Become Mountain Climbers
Huhu, my dear travel friends! It’s your Little Viki again, freshly brushed and full of energy!
Can you imagine how much my little paws tingle when the sun is shining outside? Today was exactly that kind of day in Bad Ditzenbach. The sky was such a radiant blue that you couldn't help but stick your nose in the air and shout "Adventure!" Of course, nothing keeps us stuffed animals indoors then. We had to get out, we had to experience something, and above all: we had to go high up!
Our destination today sounded almost like something out of a knight's novel: The Tierstein. Sounds mighty and mysterious, doesn't it? Together with my very favorite cuddle friends – the brave Mini Christopher and the sweet Baby Viki – and of course our humans, we set off.

Christmas Market Madness and Ice Skating Adventures: A Hedgehog on Blades (and almost in the soup pot!)
Hello, my dear travel friends and cuddle fans!
It's your Little Viki again! Can you believe it? Christmas is almost here! My little hedgehog legs have been twitching with excitement for days, and on Saturday, December 20, 2025, the time had finally come. A huge excursion was on the agenda. Mommy and Daddy packed their backpacks, and of course, I—the star of the show—couldn't be missing. After all, you need a competent tour guide who knows exactly where to find the best treats.
The day started off quite adventurously. We parked our big car, the family cruiser, at the Ulm Science Park. That already sounded very scientific and important, almost as smart as me. From there, we took the tram to the main station. I love riding the tram! You can look out the window so wonderfully and watch the world go by without having to move your little paws at all.

Christmas Garden 2025
Hello my dearest, cuddliest, and most of all, Christmas-loving followers out there behind your screens.
It’s me again, your Little Viki. I have to start by sincerely apologizing for the tiny little break on my blog. But you know, life as a little traveling hedgehog can be quite exhausting, especially during the Advent season. I first had to digest my gigantic supplies of gingerbread, domino tiles, and chocolate Santas. When you're as small as I am, your belly might fit a lot of love, but the chocolate does need its space and a bit of time until the tummy is flat enough for new adventures. But now I’m fully back, my quills are freshly brushed, and I’m ready to tell you all about my latest trip.
Imagine this: I actually made it. I managed to convince my big human beings – you know, the ones who always lug me around and are responsible for my physical well-being – to take me to Stuttgart. And not just to the city for shopping, no, we went to a truly magical place: the Christmas Garden. And the best part was that this enchanted garden took place right inside the zoological-botanical garden, the Wilhelma. A hedgehog at the zoo, can you imagine! I was so excited that my little heart was beating faster than a hummingbird's wings.

Oh my prickly nose, what a turbulent day that was!

And this time, I’m taking you to a giant, exciting natural spectacle that almost knocked me out of my little hedgehog socks: the Ropes Course in Laichingen!
