A cafe in Tokyo is offering patrons the chance to play with hedgehogs for $9-$12 an hour. The hedgehog cafe known as "Harry" is the first of it's kind in Japan and is meant to show off the "charm" of the animals who are often sold as pets in the country. Screenshot courtesy of WILX/Inform
"We wanted to show people the charm of hedgehogs, which give the impression of being hard to handle. We wanted to get rid of that image by letting people touch them," staff member Mizuki Murata said.
The cafe holds 20-30 hedgehogs of different breeds, which are commonly kept as pets in the country.
