Dutch Darlings and Exotics

Dutch Darlings and Exotics is a breeder of African pygmy hedgehogs in Denver, CO, serving the Front Range near Denver. Courtney Potter has spent several years attending industry workshops and follows recommended health screenings to ensure each litter meets breed health standards.

Its hedgehogs are raised in climate-controlled habitats with daily handling and enrichment to develop steady temperaments. Rare color morphs are part of the breeding program, and owners note the calm nature and patient communication throughout the adoption process. The quiet farm setting provides a relaxed environment for youngsters to explore and grow.

Potter provides detailed guidance on diet, habitat setup and enrichment, encouraging a smooth transition to home life. Follow-up support helps new owners address questions and fosters long-term well-being. Litters are kept small to allow individual attention, and each hedgehog is vet-checked before joining its new household.
