Kudos to the people who rescued this wannabe hedgehog, for their good intentions. It's a cute, but facepalmy story and it's so short that I've quoted the whole thing here.

A wildlife rescue that took in what was thought was a baby hedgehog found it was actually caring for a bobble from a hat.
It was brought to the Lower Moss Nature Reserve and Wildlife Hospital by a well-meaning rescuer last week.
On arrival they discovered the hoglet was in fact a "faux furry friend", a volunteer for the animal charity said.
"Our hearts melted", the volunteer at the rescue, based in Knutsford, Cheshire, added.
The rescue posted on social media a photo of the decorative ball, showing it nestled in a box beside a bowl of food.
"This adorable 'hoglet' still got all the love, complete with some cosy TLC", the charity tweeted.
"Sometimes, even the most heart-warming stories start with a hilarious twist!"
The charity, which offers educational trips for schools and other groups, looks after about 2,000 injured animals each year.
