Where can you get one from??

Best place is directly from a breeder. Google UK 'African Pygmy Hedgehog' and you'll soon find a breeder close to you

Dude, that's gotta be one of the cutest pets ever, hehe makes my cat look positively dull. I made the mistake of showing this thread to the GF; now she wants one, nevermind our two cats who would just love to try and eat/play with/terrorise such a little beasty :eek:

They're really easy to look after. All you need is a Guinea Pig cage, wheel, hide and a water bowl. That's it! Feed him mealworms, insect mix, few cat biscuits, bit of egg and a few veggies now and then and he'll be happy. They really don't take much looking after tbh.

Yes, but I'm away from home too often, and I'd feel sorry for it if I left it unattended.

As for feeding one lettuce, they don't really eat much veg. They like insects, worms and slugs - creepy crawly stuff.

Well that one was a starving refugee and he wolfed it down

We only kept it for a couple of days, till it got stronger. We didn't even have a proper cage for it and every night he'd climb out of the shoebox and hide behind the washing machine. It would have been completely impossible to keep him anyway because we had cats. This was like 15 years ago, I was a kid!

im sorry, spike... but you look like one of those white chocolate easter bunnys (sort of) and im now quite hungry...
i wonder what hedgehog tastes like? would an albino one be a delicacy?

He's just so cool, I want him!!

Not sure if my cats might try to play with him however.
