FAQ'S

THE AFRICAN PYGMY HEDGEHOG

ABOUT
The African pygmy hedgehog is the species of miniature hedgehog most commonly kept as a pet. Hedgehogs are not rodents, they are seventeen species of small animals in their own family. African pygmy hedgehogs are nocturnal creatures that sleep during the day.

They come out at night in search of an assortment of foods including frogs, worms, eggs, fallen fruit and other vegetation.
ORIGIN
They can be found in Europe, Asia and Africa, and they are an invasive resident of New Zealand.
THE PRICKLY SPINES
Hedgehogs have coarse hair on the face limbs and underbelly, and spines over the back and sides.The spines, also called quills, are modified hairs that are hollow and hardened. When threatened, the little hedgehog will raise its spines to look larger. If the threat continues, the hedgehog will tuck it's head and feet and roll up, leaving a prickly ball for confused predators to deal with.
