Elevage petites pelotes d'aiguilles

Elevage petites pelotes d’aiguilles is a breeder of African pygmy hedgehogs in Quebec province near Montreal. With several years of dedicated breeding practice, the kennel maintains detailed health records, partners with local veterinarians for routine checkups and abides by guidelines for proper husbandry.

Animals live in quiet, naturally lit enclosures where socialization with human caregivers begins at an early age. Marilyn Perrier Sauve’s approach emphasizes gentle handling and environmental enrichment, including supervised exploration sessions on soft substrates. The facility offers separate zones for juveniles and adults to ensure age-appropriate care and reduce stress. Feeding involves a rotation of locally sourced insects and fresh produce for balanced nutrition. Bloodlines are selected for calm temperaments, reflecting a focus on stable behavior and long-term health. Each hedgehog departs with a detailed care guide and ongoing support through telephone consultations and social media groups.
