Forever Hedgehugs

Forever Hedgehugs breeds African pygmy hedgehogs in Orlando, FL, serving enthusiasts across Florida. Owned by Viktoriya Kilbourn, the operation has been welcoming these small spiny companions for over six years, pairing routine veterinary health checks with genetic screening to support long-term well-being.

Each hedgehog receives daily handling and socialization in clean, temperature-controlled enclosures outfitted with enriching tunnels, wheels, and toys. Viktoriya follows guidelines from leading hedgehog associations, monitors breeding stock with regular weight checks and fecal exams, and provides guidance on nutritious diet and enrichment to support healthy growth.

The hands-on approach helps young hedgehogs acclimate quickly to human interaction from an early age. Raised in a family home environment, they often adapt well to families and show calm, inquisitive behavior. Many owners note the gentle temperament of their pets, a reflection of the breeder’s commitment to thoughtful early experiences.
