Hedgehog For Sale
Hedgehog is an insectivore, not a rodent like the porcupine. A hedgehog’s closest relative is actually the shrew. An average African Pygmy Hedgehog will fit in an adult man’s cupped hand. African Pygmy hedgehogs have a thick coat of spines, varying in color. There is no fur under the spines, but soft white or brown fur covers the belly, neck, face, and legs.
