Hearththrob Hedgehogs

Hearththrob Hedgehogs, African pygmy hedgehogs from the Piedmont region near Richmond, VA, is operated by Latasha Enoch, who combines scientific knowledge and a genuine passion for exotic pets. This breeder maintains partnerships with exotic animal veterinarians and follows industry-recommended health protocols, from routine wellness exams to parasite screenings and wellness tracking across litters.

Each hedgehog is raised in a temperature-controlled habitat furnished with running wheels, climbing platforms, and soft nesting materials, ensuring physical enrichment and mental stimulation. Daily handling sessions begin in the first week and include supervised exploration outside the enclosure to foster social bonds and reduce stress responses.

Hearththrob Hedgehogs also volunteers space for a local rescue initiative, offering rehabilitative care to surrendered animals before they’re matched with suitable homes. Owners often remark on the animals’ calm demeanor and alert curiosity, a testament to consistent routines and early introduction to varied textures and sounds.
