My african pygmy hedgehog

Hello everyone! My newest member to my animal family is Sparky, a 3 month old salt and pepper hedgehog. So here are some pictures of him I'd like to share.

Hi Silvanus

Sure, no problem.

The funny thing bout hedgehogs.. they eat about anything! They love insects like crickets, beetles, mealworms, earthworms, snails and small frogs(if they are wild hedgehogs).

Those as pets normally indulge in a diet of holistic premium catfood, best brands are Felidae, Inova Evo, Evolve, Natural Balance and chicken soup for the petlovers soul. Will continue bout this under the diet thread hehhe...

AWWWWWWWWWWWW.

aIYO, Looks damn cute man !.

Too bad I don't have time to care for sweeties like that anymore. I am so busy with work, it's amazing.

I might need a HH that can cook tho' ... know any ?

Hi David,

Hedgehogs pretty easy to play and care for. They love toys, those baby save bright colour plastic toy cars and trucks, must be big so they can't chew and swallow any parts. Also, they are nocturnal, active mainly at night so good for those who have no time for play during the day. Hedgies sleep during the day hehhe...

Thay don't cook, wish they could hahaha.... but the poop a lot

Hedgehogs are considered exotics in singapore and is illegal to keep them.

Hi crazymouse, its a very sweet fella! How you manage to get it? Anyway I heard that hedgehog eat insects too? is that true? Are their spikes very sharp?

Hi Aaron80,

Well, I got it from a breeder in KL. Searched high and low for the best price

Yup, they eat insects. Mine likes mealworms and beetles, sometimes crickets too. He once swallowed a cockroach. The spikes don't really feel that sharp when you know how to handle it. If handled wrongly, then yes, it's sharp enough to make you jump. Like a needle.
