I was gifted a pet african pygmy hedghog at the age of 9, I was too young to properly understand how to care for her and left her in her glass terrarium most of the time, and my single mother was fairly neglective of me as well so she didn't take care of her either. I remember that she would often have feces caked to her prickles and would smear blood on the glass from running her face against it back and forth all day, and when I would try to play with her she would defensively prickle out. She was very loving and sweet when I would give her warm baths in the bathroom sink and the few times we did play, she loved to play tug of war with socks. In the end, she died alone and neglected in that shitty bloody glass terrarium, at my fault and likely too young. I've been haunted by that and have felt a deep karmic ripple that changed my life for the worse since then, how do I atone for this? I've seen signs of my (not good) death approaching quickly (I had a dream a goddess named Mara blew me a kiss among many other things) and I can't do much of this reincarnation shit anymore, I'm so tired I just want peace. Forgive me, Sonic.

>how do I atone for this?
quite simple, really. go to an animal home and ask if you could take care of an animal or two, preferably little ones, the size of a hedgehog. 

if you don't have the time or room for this, you could also prepare a hedgehog hiding place for the cold season. it's quite easy if you have a garden, doesn't take much work to prepare, or maintain, and they love it.

if you don't have a garden, get creative. ask a neighbor with a garden, or go into the woods and build a shelter to crawl in. too small for foxes, big enough for hedgehogs.
