Why a Hedgehog?
Since I was young I have owned small furries; guinea pigs, gerbils, mice and rats. After a particularly difficult time after uni, moving back in with the parents I needed something to fill the Man-Void. Degus (large gerbils) were a possible although they need to live in groups, a Chinchilla -another option but we always thought they needed a quiet lifestyle (they don't) which our house, isn't. So at The London Pet Show 2013 I found my companion: An African Pygmy Hedgehog.
African Pgymy Hedgehogs are a specially domesticated breed. They live indoors, have a simple diet and live for 3-5 years.
