Say/Spell 'Spike Ball' In Japanese (Romaji)?

Question:


Sounds very weird, I know...
My bro is getting a pet hedgehog and I was wondering how to say Spike Ball in Japanese because that's what he wants to name it. ;) thanks!!

Answer:


The word for hedgehog in Japanese is hari-nezumi (針鼠). So, the word "hari" means needle or spike. and the word "nezumi" means mouse.

The word for ball is tama (玉).

So, the word for spike ball for your brother's pet hedgehog would be hari-tama (針玉) (pronounced 'haa-ree-ta-ma').

That sounds like a good name to me. Good luck on picking out a friendly one. ;)
