I love hedgehogs! They’re probably my third favorite animal after puffins and unicorns
So, imagine my delight when I heard that a brand new hedgehog cafe has opened right here in Tokyo
Surprisingly, even though Japan is the country that gave us Sonic The Hedgehog
Hedgehogs aren’t actually a native species to the country.
The cafe is called « Harry »
Because the Japanese word for Hedgehogs is Harinezumi
which literally means Needle Mouse
The cafe is becoming quite popular with locals
and animal lovers here in Tokyo
But anyways, less chatting, more hedgehogs!
Let's go and check it out!
Some hedgehogs don’t play by the rule look at that!
Just crawling up and sleeping on other hedgehogs
Should we try holding one?
Yeah! Let’s!
This is gonna be scary!
This is a very curious Hedgehog
There you go
Hellooo
How cute is that?
Oh don’t move! Oh, scoop it scoop it scoop it!
Now I’m stuck
I have to keep it like this
Scratching! Hedegehog started scratching
It’s scratching some needles, that must be a pretty painful thing
That could’ve been interesting
Into your shirt…
…to salvation
Okay Charly you’ve got some hedgehog feed
Yes for 500 yen you can order some food for the hedgehogs and
it’s actually worms and they’re still alive
Really? Oh….
With this little thing here you can pick it up
OH MY GOD
He’s hungry apparently this one
I’m gonna give him a big worm actually
That looks like it hurts
The worm did escape by the way
The worm did escape?
You’re not very good at feeding hedgehogs Charly, this is one thing everybody should be good at
To think i came all the way from France just for that
You came all the way from France to feed hedgehogs
It's more difficult than you think
There!
Mission Accomplished
Well down you’ve fed the hedgehog
But there’s more….worms
Just your average everyday situation
Wow the worm is about to meet its demise
Wa! Hey, that didn’t last long did it
I like it, this is my favorite hedgehog so far we’ve had like 5 hedgehogs, most of them sleeping
we didn’t want to touch them let the hedgehog sleep
This guy he’s hungry, he wants his food
we’ve given him what, 5 worms now?
We’ve given him 5 worms yeah
We've given him a lot of worms, this guy
How do you feel?
Just so happy and content, feeding a hedgehog is one of the best things I’ve done all week
So that was an hedgehog cafe!
Very surreal experience
I didn’t think I’d be feeding an hedgehog any time soon
That’s happened now, but if you’re in Tokyo, its worth checking out
It’s about 2000 yen for the hour.
And yeah, if you’re into hedegehogs, it’s the place to be, clearly!
Thanks a lot for watching guys, we’ll see you next time when we’ll probably be at a Unicorn Cafe!
I wouldn’t be surprised if there is one.
Anything goes in Tokyo it seems.
Two hedgehogs trying to sleep..
...one hedgehog...
...just ruining it for everyone
