How I got my name!

I got the name Krushem as the day before my rescue, when my mummy had been walking to work at about 9pm, she had seen a fully grown adult hedgehog with their head stuck in the lid of a Krushem container from KFC (with the cup still attached to the lid). The poor thing was walking backwards trying to free himself - an impossible task as his spines were stuck inside, meaning he couldn't un-wedge himself.

Mummy went straight over and freed him, and he trotted away happily.

A few hours later at about 3am, while she was working she looked out the window and saw something moving in the car park, after watching for a few minutes she realized it was another hedgehog.... With it's head stuck... And you guessed it, in another Krushem container. This one seemed a little more confident, as he had master the forward motion with the container on his head.

She rushed outside to rescue this one as well, this time getting rid of the container in the bin. And wondering if it was the same hedgehog? Or two equally silly ones, it seemed too far a distance for it to be the same one, but you never know!. He was very snotty, and must have been trapped a while as their was a lot of condensation in the cup. After he was freed, she made sure he found his way into the grass so he didn't get run over!

The next morning she checked to see where she had left the first container, and it was missing. Do you think it was the same one?
