Native to West Africa these small rough and tumble mammals are African Pygmy Hedgehogs, also known as Four-Toed Hedgehogs. In the wild these animals are highly energetic and explorative, they are known to travel many miles in a night in search of food. Their most well known feature is the bush of sharp quills that adorns their back from which they get their name. In captivity hedgehogs are known to be friendly and playful as long as they are well and consistently handled. If you have ever wanted to own a living ball of spikes than this just may be the perfect pet for you!
