Elevage Familial Chez Herixelle

Elevage Familial Chez Herixelle is an African pygmy hedgehog breeder in Quebec province near Montreal. Julie Baillargeon has been working with hedgehogs for several years, following established health-testing protocols such as regular veterinary exams and parasite screenings. She maintains ties with regional small mammal associations and follows best practices outlined by hedgehog care communities.

Each hedgehog is raised in a home environment where gentle handling begins early and socialization with family members happens daily. Housing includes spacious enclosures with climate control, enrichment items, and supervised playtime outside the cage. Cage bedding is changed frequently and feeding follows a balanced diet recommended by small mammal specialists.

Julie selects breeding stock for calm temperaments and well-documented lineage, and keeps detailed health records for each animal. Prospective owners often comment on the thoughtful guidance and the eagerness of young hedgehogs to explore new surroundings.
