Chappi suffers from Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome (WHS) and has trouble walking.
The disease is a degenerative, neurological syndrome that affects African hedgehogs like Chappi. It is said to affect about 10 per cent of African Pygmy hedgehogs and its high prevalence is blamed on their limited bloodlines.
Seeing Chappi's walking difficulties, her human companion decided to build a little wheelchair made out of LEGO so Chappi can move around with ease.
"As you know, my little girl can't walk anymore, she is just too weak. We could see that she could move her little feet, so i decided to try making a wheelchair," chappi_momma posted on Instagram.
"At the beginning i had no idea how to build one, but then we discovered that @lego actually a very cheap and useful option. She's getting used to the chair, after almost 3 months without walking. She's a little fighter."
