Hedgie!
Sophomore year in college, my roommates (6 girls in a room, btw - never do it!) decided it would be cool to get a hedgehog, despite the school's rule that no animals were allowed in dorm rooms. My immediate roomie and I were totally against it, especially its price tag, $500+ (It had to be imported from Africa by plane, then picked up the airport, plus food and accessories and a habitat and toys, ugh!).
They never took care of it. It smelled and I felt so bad for it. Lauren ended up using her money for that semester's accounting textbook to purchase it. Christie (who didn't pay for it) took it home for the winter break because Lauren didn't want her parents to know she had bought it, but when break was over, Christie never brought it back. So they got in a huge fight. We never saw that animal again...and Lauren ended up transferring...
(I changed the names...)
