Elevage Coeur a Pic

Elevage Coeur a Pic specializes in breeding African pygmy hedgehogs in Quebec, Canada, in the Montérégie region near Montreal. Owner Eevelina Moniz has developed a deep understanding of hedgehog behavior through years of hands-on care and membership in local small-animal groups. Each hog receives regular veterinary screenings and lives in a temperature-controlled, enriched habitat designed for natural activity cycles.

Daily handling and gentle interaction help pups adapt to home life before they join their families. Nesting areas are cleaned frequently and bedding is replaced with soft, safe materials to support healthy growth. The focus on socialization and transparent advice reflects the breeder’s commitment to lifelong well-being and responsible ownership.

All hogs are nourished on a balanced regimen of premium hedgehog kibble supplemented with insects and fresh vegetables. Breeding pairs are chosen for gentle temperaments, ensuring offspring well suited to household environments.
