Happy-Heart Hedgies

Happy-Heart Hedgies, African pygmy hedgehogs in central Kentucky near Louisville, specializes in breeding small, friendly porcupines well suited to family life. Katherine Mullen is committed to responsible breeding practices, following guidelines established by national hedgehog associations and working with experienced exotic animal veterinarians to ensure each kit’s health. Every hedgehog receives routine health screenings and microscopic exams to guard against mites and other conditions common to the species.

Hedgehogs are raised in a home environment designed to support natural behaviors and gentle socialization from an early age. Each kit spends time in low-stress handling sessions and custom-designed habitats that include enrichment toys and supervised playtime. Families often note that their new companion arrives calm, accustomed to daily interaction and basic training. Mullen remains available for guidance on diet, habitat adjustments, or behavioral questions long after adoption. She participates in local small-animal meetups to exchange best practices with other hedgehog enthusiasts.
