The African Pygmy Hedgehog, often simply called the Pygmy Hedgehog, originates from central and eastern Africa, inhabiting savannas and grasslands. This small breed typically measures 6-9 inches and weighs between 250-600 grams. Its distinctive physical traits include short, stiff spines covering its back and soft fur on the face and belly. Colour variations range from salt-and-pepper to albino.
Temperament-wise, the Pygmy Hedgehog is primarily nocturnal and solitary, favouring a quiet environment and gentle handling. Known for their shy and sensitive nature, they exhibit unique behaviours such as self-anointing and curling into a spiny ball when threatened. Due to their specific needs, they are best suited to owners prepared for dedicated care.
Care requirements include maintaining a warm habitat (75-80°F) to prevent hibernation attempts, providing a high-protein insectivore diet, and ensuring daily exercise via a running wheel. These hedgehogs make interesting pet hedgehogs in the UK but require commitment, particularly in temperature control and specialist veterinary care.
