HEDGEHOGS
prickly creatures that are always popular
​
The African pygmy hedgehog is the species of miniature hedgehog most commonly kept as a pet. They can be found in Europe, Asia and Africa, and they are an invasive resident of New Zealand.
​
These beautiful characters are often bought as family pets and abandoned when owners realise just how much work they are.
