It is possible to regester your APH after you purches them if you go direct to the APH regestration (sorry but know knowledge of how, net ect), but you will need the ancesster information!

Also check out Preloved | UK free ads - buy and sell with local classifieds as they sell them there and most are already registered! (avalible are babies and adults)

Re: African pygmy hedgehogs

hi just read your email all i can say is make sure when you do get an hedgehog that they have been well handled from being a baby i brought one from a breeder who said she handled him on a daily basis that was 4 months ago and still he doesnt like being touched i get my hedgehogs out for at least an hour a day and play with them but he still hates it ive tried everything with him all i get from him is him huffing and puffing is spikes up at me and boy does it hurt when he gets me still love him though even if he is hard workp

Talking Re: African pygmy hedgehogs

You have to be very careful where you get your hedgies from, as there are some breeders out there who are just in it for the money.

If anyone is seriously interested in getting a African Pygmy Hedgie I can recommed a specialist site called Pygmy Hogs UK and here is the link Pygmy Hogs UK they are a friendly bunch and will be able to point you in the right direction

Re: African pygmy hedgehogs

Hello people,

I have a female african pygmy hedgehog, shes about 6-7 months old and im really worrying about her.

I know that she needs to be kept at a min of 72f (ish) but i keep getting home to her being in a ball and not wanting to come out or move for hours at a time, (3 hours before she came back to normal self last time)

I think she might be trying to hibernate, this is the third time she has done it and i know that its really bad for them to even try.

Ive got the heat pads loads of bedding all sorts (believe me i look after her better than i look after myself!)

Either way any experienced owners i would love to hear from you, and whether this is just something that happens or if i should be more concerned than i already am

I will say i do like to ger her out a little early like 6pm sometimes
