African Pygmy Hedgehogs as Pets

African Pygmy Hedgehogs are becoming one of the most popular exotic pets in the UK at the moment. Good points of APH’s as pets.

They don’t require a large amount of space, just enough for a cage
They don’t make a lot of noise, so won’t annoy the neighbours.
They don’t have a noticeable smell, anyone who has kept rats or more so ferrets will know that Hogs have far less a smell.
They are easy to feed, the food can be purchased easily at the local pet shop.
They aren’t time consuming, unlike cats or dogs they won’t mind if you are at work all day, and cleaning up after them takes only a short amount of time.
They don’ require walking, so if it is raining they won’t want a run in the park.
They are available in a choice of colours and patterns.
They are really cute!!!
