This Hedgehog Is So Fat He Can't Even Roll Up Into A Ball Any More

    Seriously, you need to see this huge hog.

    Meet Jabba, the fattest hedgehog you will probably ever see.

    He weighs almost 4Ibs (about 1.8kg) – three times the size of an average hedgehog – after growing up on a diet of dog paté and dried mealworms.

    He may have been a little ~too~ pampered.

    Due to his large size, Jabba can't curl up and has trouble walking.

    His carer has now handed him over to the Oak and Furrows Wildlife Rescue in England to prepare him for a return to the wild.

    At the wildlife sanctuary, Jabba has been put on a strict diet to get him slimmed down before he can be released.

    He needs to lose weight so he can curl up properly and protect himself, Hickey said. "We are hoping to release him back into the wild after he has lost the weight."

    Jabba is also in a large enclosure and his food is kept at one end and his bed at the other to encourage him to exercise.

    Good luck, Jabba!
