Hawthorne Hedgehogs

Hawthorne Hedgehogs raises African pygmy hedgehogs in New York, NY, in the Hudson Valley near New York City. Greyson Mull has cared for hedgehogs for over a decade and participates in regional breeder networks to support responsible practices.

Each hedgehog is housed in a spacious enclosure with natural bedding and regular handling sessions to encourage gentle socialization. Routine health checks and access to a dedicated play area help maintain confidence and well-being at every stage of growth. Feedback from local families highlights the calm temperament of young hedgehogs and the attentive guidance offered throughout the adoption process. Hatchlings are introduced to diverse sounds and textures early on, reflecting a belief in gentle exposure rather than routine isolation. Prospective owners receive guidance on diet and habitat setup to ensure a smooth transition into home life. The family-run setup on a quiet property provides a calm environment that fosters healthy development and ease of care.
