Some concernedSonicfans reached out to Jake & Bandit expressing their concern that the treatment of Bandit might not be humane. Taking a pet to aSonic the Hedgehogmovie was odd, and they were concerned Jake wasn’t taking care of Bandit properly. Jake responded very calmly saying that he knows the signs of a hedgehog acting out, and Bandit was not displaying any form of distress. “I love her,” Jake tweeted, “take good care of her + wouldn’t have done this if it would upset her as she’s my baby.”
After the reassurance for Bandit’s safety was confirmed, many fellow hedgehog fans started posting photos of their own hedgehogs. A stream of lovable prickly hedgehogs, old and young, blew up Jake & Bandit’s feed. One Twitter user, Daisy Ramirez, shared a photo of her own hedgehog, Boss, posing in front ofthe record-breaking movie poster.
