Millie.
Millie is an Algerian chocolate African Pygmy hedgehog. If anyone is seeing these for the first time then you'll be as suprised as I first was when I was sent a pic of a cute little hoglet. They don't grow any where near as big as our wild hedgies and they must not be allowed to hibernate. This is really the only vital peice of husbandry that you must obey. They must be kept warm because if they do get cold they'll try to hibernate and die. They eat cat biscuits and mealworms and crickets as a treat along with cooked chicken or scrambled egg. NEVER give an APH any dairy products so no milk in the scrambled egg.
Millie is super tame and also a great mum.

Five very camera shy babies.
Nosey Bonk.
Nosey came with his name!! He is a big lad with a big personality. He too is very friendly and paired with Millie they produce gorgeous, out-going, babies with very dark masks :-)
