Boston Hedgehogs
Boston Hedgehogs are African pygmy hedgehogs in Boston, MA, Suffolk County and the city of Cambridge. William Hoffman and Rachel Hoffman have raised these small mammals as a family endeavor, combining careful husbandry with local hedgehog club membership. Socialization begins at two weeks in a calm, clean home setting designed to reduce stress and build trust.
They follow guidelines from the North American Hedgehog Association and ensure each hog receives routine veterinary exams and weight monitoring. Their temperature-controlled habitats feature quality bedding, tunnels and exercise wheels to suit nocturnal habits. Daily handling encourages socialization and early adaptation to home life.
The breeders offer guidance on nutrition and habitat setup, drawing on years of experience to support new owners, and many adopters note the clarity of their care instructions and ongoing availability for follow-up questions. They also share resources on enrichment activities and seasonal care considerations.
