I adopted a beautiful baby hedgehog with a sweet, cuddly personality and the breeder supplied everything I needed. They build exercise wheels that are bigger and much better quality than the type sold in stores. Communication is excellent whenever I have questions about hedgehog care.
Queen Harpy
Highly recommend the handmade bags of hedgehog food! My boy is very picky and I had a hard time finding a high quality food that he would eat until I stumbled upon this wonderful company. His quills are so healthy, his fur vibrant and bright, his overall health is immaculate. This is the only food he will eat and he loves it. Highly recommend!
