Blue Rose Exotics

Blue Rose Exotics, African pygmy hedgehogs in Louisville, Kentucky, manages small, carefully raised litters from its home-based facility in central Kentucky. Owner Destiney (Dezzi) Cook has worked with this species for over six years and follows industry-recommended health protocols, including regular veterinary checkups and weight monitoring.

Each hedgehog lives in an enriched enclosure stocked with hiding spots, exercise wheels and varied textures, and daily handling helps build confidence and social skills. Before placement, littermates complete a standardized socialization plan, and families receive a detailed care packet covering feeding schedules, bedding choices and safe handling tips.

The facility is designed to minimize stress, with ambient lighting adjustments and sound dampening, offering a calm environment that supports natural behaviors. Blue Rose Exotics stays connected with a local exotic pet network to exchange knowledge on husbandry and genetics, ensuring ongoing improvement in animal well-being. Prospective owners appreciate the straightforward guidance and follow-up support provided after adoption.
