Have you ever thought about owning a hedgehog? Did you know that hedgehogs are becoming a popular alternative family pet? That’s right. Contrary to popular belief, a hedgehog is not prickly or hard to pick up nor is it related to the porcupine. The hedgehog may be covered with more than five thousand quills, but those quills are actually soft to the touch. Handling a hedgehog is simple. Just cup your hands and place a hand on each side of the hedgehog and lift him straight up. As for habitat, hedgehogs love to roam in a hedgehog proof room. They also love a large, spacious cage with room to roam, places to hide, and soft bedding. Hedgehogs do well on a diet of dry cat food. They get along with other pets, but prefer to be the only hedgehog. Talk to your veterinarians Middletown, DE about bringing a hedgehog into your family.
