Wild hedgehogs have been living in Africa forever but only in recent years have they been kept as pets.  Most North American pet hedgehogs, typically called African pygmy, were bred from African species and are considered domesticated. These little animals can make terrific companions when housed and fed appropriately. Before you consider bringing a hedgehog into your home, there are several things to be aware of. 

Hedgehogs are prickly!  When nervous you may need to gently hold with a towel until he relaxes. They also curl up into a ball when they feel threatened and have very strong back muscles so it is nearly impossible to uncurl him if he is scared. They must be handled gently and OFTEN so they learn you are their friend.
