掉牙對(duì)于我們大多數(shù)人來說是一件十分焦慮的事，但對(duì)于刺猬諾曼來說，缺牙使它成為網(wǎng)絡(luò)紅人。

It is not known how the African pygmy hedgehog owned by American Brett Jessie damaged his front gnasher。

但我們不知道諾曼的前牙是怎么弄掉的，美國人布雷特·杰西是這只非洲侏儒刺猬的主人。

23歲的杰西把愛寵的缺牙照傳上了網(wǎng)，出乎他意料的是小家伙居然因此在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上一炮走紅。

Construction engineer Brett, from Kentucky, said he took Norman on as a pet two years ago after a friend could no longer look after him。

布雷特是一名來自肯塔基州的建筑工程師，他說兩年前一位朋友因故無法再照料小刺猬，于是自己接手成為萌寵諾曼的主人。

He said: 'I've had cats, dogs, lizards and fish, so I thought why not look after a hedgehog。

他說：“我養(yǎng)過貓、狗、蜥蜴以及魚等動(dòng)物，所以我就想為什么不試著養(yǎng)一只刺猬呢。”

'I started posting pictures of him online but since I put the picture of him losing his tooth I've had hundreds more followers。

“后來我開始把它的照片傳到網(wǎng)上，然而在我上傳了它缺牙的那張照片后，我的主頁粉絲增加了好幾百。”

'Norman has lost a tooth but I'm not sure how or why, I was worried but the vet said so long as he's still happy it's fine。

“諾曼掉了一顆牙齒，但我不確定是怎么掉的。我有點(diǎn)擔(dān)心，但諾曼似乎在說只要它開心就好、掉牙沒關(guān)系的。”

'He eats meal worms mostly but I've tried everything and his favourite is cat food.'

“刺猬大部分時(shí)間吃蟲子，但是我曾試著給它喂各種食物，發(fā)現(xiàn)它最愛吃的是貓糧。”
