Hedgehog
We have two male four-toed Hedgehogs named Huck and Sawyer born only a few weeks apart from each other one in December of 2023 and the other January of 2024. These kinds are the smallest types of hedge hogs and mainly found in Africa but is a well-known domesticated pet. They have spines different from a porcupine quills because they are embedded in the skin and they do not shed them. They are solitary animals and are never housed with another because they get very territorial. Hedgehogs are nocturnal animals so they are up during the night but sleep during the day.
FUN FACT
they are known for a strange behavior called “self-anointing,” where they lick a foamy substance and rub it on their spines.
