Welcome
Thank you for visiting Hedgebottom Hedgehogs , this is now also home to the United Kingdom African Pygmy Hedgehog Registry, in conjunction with the IHR.
I have been breeding African pygmy hedgehogs some years now and found them to be a fascinating species that make wonderful pets.
Our first hedgehog was Walter, he was a grey male and was very grumpy, he had not been handled regularly and was about 8 months old when we got him. As we were new to keeping them we were not confident at handling him and used to use gardening gloves to pick up the very prickly ball. over time he softened and we became more confident. Our experiences with Walter lead us to buying some females and having a go at breeding, and the rest is history. We specialise in breeding healthy happy hogs with wonderful temperaments.
I have been running the UK hedgehog registry for several years now and we have over 950 pet hedgehogs registered, with support growing all the time.
Anyone wanting to register their hedgehogs, change of ownership or health updates please complete the relevant forms above.
