A Canadian female hedgehog has become a social media star, with more than 28,000 people following her Instagram page daily. The Daily Mail reported that Canadian ballet dancer and photographer Adriana Campo, 26 years old, is the mastermind behind the Instagram page featuring a unique series of photos she takes of her friend, the hedgehog "Cinnamon."

Adriana first met Cinnamon at the end of 2019 after adopting her from an animal shelter near Niagara Falls, and since then, a remarkable friendship has developed between them after she noticed that the hedgehog has a tendency for stardom and fame and loves the camera and lights.

It was not easy at first because Cinnamon does not respond to commands easily like pet dogs, so it required a lot of patience and flexibility by allowing her to do what she wants.

Adriana says: "She is charming but moody, and sometimes if she is angry or not in a good mood, the shooting doesn't happen; I try to use silent shooting mode so that the flash sound does not surprise or stress her."

Cinnamon's Instagram page started for the first time in mid-2020 during Canada's lockdown, and once launched, Adriana noticed how much joy her little spiky friend brings to others.

Adriana makes sure to pamper her companion in front of and behind the camera, and even when there is no shooting, she trims her nails every two weeks, bathes her regularly, and provided her with a small innovative bed with a wheel and a small blanket that she loves to sleep in and enjoy the warmth when she is with her.

Cinnamon loves outdoor photography, especially in the forests, and looks happy with every new accessory, hat, or piece of clothing she wears and takes pictures with.
