If I had an Echidna...
I'd hammer in the morning.
No, actually. No, I wouldn't. No way. I'd be far too busy (gingerly) hugging the sweet beast to hammer at any time of day. Besides, it might disturb his delicate sensibilities.
Baby Echidna
According to the link above, this creature - also known as the "spiny anteater" has several qualities by which it is recommended. For instance, one's typical, garden-variety echidna is slow-moving, has a bulbous forehead and a long snout, is toothless as well as teatless, feeds almost exclusively on ants and termites, is rarely seen and has "distinctive and quite shiny" cylindrical droppings.
Pretty much the perfect pet. Or if you're my grandma, and like to feast on the occasional marsupe, the perfect Thankgiving entree. Your call but please, I beg of you, enough with the hammering.
