Liked the pics of your hedgehogs- do you feed them with mealworms?

Not just mealworms, they only have three of those per week (each) due to the high fat content.

Aww they are gorgeous!!! I would love some but it was either my Skinny Pigs(hairless guinea pigs) or Hedgehogs (similar price range) and I had to go with my piggies.

Has anyone ever heard of or bought an African Pygmy Hedgehog from Hedgehog Kingdom (HEDGEHOG KINGDOM - AFRICAN PYGMY HEDGEHOG BREEDER UK-HEDGEHOGS FOR SALE a very unusual and unique pet! Pygmy hedgehogs ESSEX near LONDON - African pygmy hedgehog for sale, african pygmy hedgehog breeder, african pygmy hedgehog babies, african pygmy h)

If so, I'd really like to know asap as I'm thinking of getting a 12-week old female from them but they've said they wouldn't provide us with a certificate as they haven't registered it with hedgehog association - is this normal as I've heard that they should all come with these?

Is getting them at 12 weeks a problem in regards handling or toilet training? We have seen photos of it and it seems handleable by the photographic evidence.

Also - would people really recommend them as pets? Are they quite low maintenance? What would you suggest we keep it in - I've heard they're quite happy in indoor rabbit hutches?

Feedback asap would be really helpful!

Thanks!

Well there is a few around its just finding them and getting in contact with breeders who will sell them as most are kept and swapped for breeding etc.
