Chopin the Hedgehog is Posing with Cute Tiny Wigs

We all need a bit of cuteness overload on our Instagram feed and what better way to get it there than follow a bunch of animal accounts. If you happen to be a huge fan of hedgehogs, you should follow the account that takes photos of the already cute animal while wearing hilarious tiny wigs.

Japan’s tiniest Instagram model Chopin the Hedgehog perfectly fits that description. His owner Shota Tsukamoto attracted over 300,000 followers with his first pet hedgehog named Darcy. Unfortunately, these adorable animals have a short life span so Darcy was replaced by Matthew, and Chopin eventually took over the modeling duties.

All of Tsukamoto’s hedgehogs are equally adorable, but he didn’t simply rely on their cuteness in an attempt to transform them into Instagram superstars. A lot of attention to detail goes into each and every one of his photos, and they’re all unique in their own right.

Chopin’s owner uses different themes and props to make his photos amazing, but what sets him apart from other hedgehogs on Instagram is his hilarious wig. Chopin doesn’t wear it in every picture, but once he does there’s no way of confusing him with anyone else.
