PAWS FOR THOUGHT....
Before you rush out and buy a hedgehog on impulse research on the internet. This is an indoor pet, it is a pet that needs a wheel to exercise. IT IS OUT AT NIGHT. So research and if you cannot give a hedgehog the basics, don't be tempted to buy it.
I get a good few people asking me to take on their UNWANTED pets, they have no suitable cage, NO exercise wheel, some are kept outdoors, some in carboard boxes. ???? The AFRICAN PYGMY HEDGEHOG was initially imported into SA it is not meant to be kept outdoors.
Some of these owners were never educated, informed what is necessary to keep the hedgehog in good health, they buy the animal clearly from someone who would be referred to as a backyard breeder, if they were breeding anything other as in canine's or feline's. they are not remotely interested in ensuring the hedgehogs they sell end up in the right homes, the people purchasing them are NOT informed, TOLD WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS NOT, the seller simply could not care. Please realise that this may seem a cheap pet, but once you have bought a well bred quality hedgehog and you have purchased the necessary to house it correctly and properly and feed it a quality diet not the cheapest diet you can find, it ends up a tad expensive.
Do your homework if you are prepared to purchase what it takes to ensure you have a hedgehog that will have everything it requires you are more than welcome to contact us with regards to your healthy, happy, tame hedgehog baby.
We will not sell any hedgehog to anyone who once they have it will go out and purchase the necessary. I would think one would purchase the necessary and then by the animal.
Hedgehogs just like everything else have feelings, respond to kindness, need to be kept in hygienic conditions, taken out regularly, played with, exercised. Fed a quality food. A hedgehog is a FOREVER pet not something you buy get tired of and dump on someone else. Find out before you purchase this pet if it is going to be suited to you and your lifestyle. Please be a responsible owner. Please do not buy on impulse. Thanks for your time.
FOR THE L VE OF THE AFRICAN PYGMY HEDGEHOG
WE SELL QUALITY, HEALTHY HEDGIES
We use wooden housing for all our own hedgies, NOT RABBIT CAGES. However nothing wrong with using rabbit cages just ensure they are spacious, as some are very small to keep a hedgie housed in. the length should be at least 90cm if not a meter.
Our own cages are specifically made to our own requirements not purchased in any pet store. As a result of being built to our specification, they are not cheap. We can however place an order for you with our supplier.
You can however purchase a suitable rabbit cage from any petshop. NOT AN OUTSIDE HUTCH, these are indoor animals and exercise is very important, they must have a wheel or you are going to end up with a tubby hedgie.
Info on the newborn hedgie baby, known as a HOGLET....
Born deaf, blind, pink in colour, the spikes will start to appear a matter of a couple of hours after birth and continue to do so. HOWEVER we do not handle new borns, we do not handle babies of a week or even two weeks, so we do not know the sex of any of them and in the majority of cases we will not know the colouring either. We may get an indication, if one is going to colour up darker than another for example, but the colour will only become obvious once the hoglet is a few weeks of age.
We have odd ears, snip noses, blaze faces
CHOCOLATE*SALT & PEPPER*GREY*APRICOT* CINNOCOT* CINNAMON
patched eyes MASKS, pinto in reverse face, FULL REVERSE, low pinto, medium pinto and high pinto.
we do not interbreed we have NUMEROUS blood lines
