Poke with stick?

There appears to be a dead hedgehog in the middle of the back garden. Not sure what to do about that.

Picking it up on a shovel and slinging it in the bin seems a bit callous, but burying it seems a bit 5-year-old-with-a-dead-bunny. (And hard work.) Also, I'm not sure WHY it's dead, so the paranoid bit of me is thinking that it could have all kinds of diseases, and that by going within five feet of it I'll instantly catch deadhedgehogitis.

(Also, there's a tiny part of me that says get hold of some quicklime and make a perfect little skeletal hedgehog.)

(Kris said no.)

you don't need quick lime just put it in a slightly open tupperware box in a pile of dirt and leave it for serveral months. Julian used to do this all the time - he had some marvellous skelebeasts. especially when he put them back together wrong on purpose :D

Ooooh, very interesting! Unfortunatey dead hedgehog is now in the bin, but I shall remember this for any future occurences of small dead things..

I don't know what I'd do, but I loved this post.
Please turn it into a poem and then submit it to competitions and then become famous.
