Elevage Familial Chez Shaymin

Elevage Familial Chez Shaymin is an African pygmy hedgehog breeder in Quebec, Quebec, serving the province of Quebec near Montreal. Sabrina Larose has cared for these hedgehogs for several years and follows guidelines from small mammal associations to ensure consistency in health and temperament.

Its breeding stock undergoes regular veterinary screenings for issues like obesity and dental disease. Animals are raised in climate-controlled indoor habitats with daily enrichment and gentle handling from the age of two weeks. Larose emphasizes low-stress routines and socialization so hedgehogs develop curious but calm temperaments suited to hobbyists and first-time owners.

Lines are selected for friendly dispositions rather than color variations, and many owners note their hedgehogs adapt well to home routines. The focus on temperament and health has built a reputation for evenly balanced, engaging pets. Each hedgehog leaves with a care sheet detailing diet, bedding, and ideal temperature ranges.
