What was the Forbidden Item?
A live hedgehog. He was obsessed with them. They would roll up tight to protect themselves and he'd grab them, prickles and all. To get them off him was a real pain, literally. What worked best was holding his head so tight he couldn't move, and repeatedly pinching his nose until he dropped the poor creature. We both caught ringworm, a variety unique to hedgehogs.
Makes sense; apparently hedgehogs have a very interesting smell. I caught a fox sniffing and generally bothering one on my walk home a few nights ago
