Since he is naked, each day "a volunteer has to give him a massage with lotion to help combat his dry skin," the newspaper reported.
Nelson became an internet sensation this week after his photos were posted online. His unique look made some people think of...something else. "Sorry but this baby hedgehog minus his prickles does remind me of something rude!" one person tweeted.
