All the women go AWWWWWW! (Snowball the hedgehog)

Snowball the hedgehog looked to be in a bit of a prickly situation when he fell into a garden pond.

But luckily for the rare albino he was pulled out of the water just in time by a couple who were out walking in Blindley Heath, Surrey.

He was then rushed to Wildlife Aid rescue centre in Leatherhead where staff say he is the first albino hedgehog they have seen in 25 years.

Ironically, falling into the pond may have saved the little hedgehog's life. He was very thin and extremely underweight and wouldn't have survived the winter.

So now staff are feeding him on a diet of snails, worms, slugs and dog food, and letting him hang out with other hedgehogs at the centre.
