Cape Code Hedgehogs

Cape Code Hedgehogs, African pygmy hedgehog breeders in Cape Cod, MA, serve families across the Cape Cod region and the Boston area. Owner Melissa Sullivan has cultivated this program over several years, refining husbandry practices through continued education and networking with fellow breeders. She follows recommended health testing protocols and works with veterinarians experienced in exotic pets.

Each hedgehog is raised in a climate-controlled environment, with daily handling to support early socialization and gentle interaction. Litter sizes are kept small to allow personalized attention to each animal’s dietary and enrichment needs. They follow a feeding plan that includes high-quality commercial hedgehog food supplemented with seasonal fruits and insects to promote healthy growth.

New owners receive a care packet with detailed information on handling, habitat setup, and veterinary contacts to ease the transition home. These hedgehogs are known for calm temperaments and adapt well to indoor living.
