AJ's Lil Hedgies

AJ's Lil Hedgies is a breeder of African pygmy hedgehogs near Minneapolis, MN, serving the southern Minnesota region. With years of experience, owner Jenna Savage follows recommended guidelines for hedgehog care, including regular veterinary examinations and routine health screenings through a local exotic animal veterinary clinic. Their approach is guided by resources from hedgehog care associations.

Breeding pairs are selected for health and stable lineages to reduce the risk of genetic conditions. The hedgies live in climate-controlled enclosures and receive daily handling to encourage calm, curious temperaments. Litters are kept small and monitored closely during the first weeks, while balanced diets and quiet household environments support well-being from an early age.

Each animal undergoes a temperament assessment before joining its new home and often adapts quickly to family routines. Detailed care information accompanies every hedgehog to ensure a smooth transition.
