Hedgehog Headquarters

Hedgehog Headquarters is a breeder of African pygmy hedgehogs in Tennessee, serving the East Tennessee region near Knoxville. Using foundation bloodlines and following hedgehog welfare guidelines, it emphasizes genetic diversity and proper health monitoring, including routine exams by an exotic animal veterinarian. Its climate-controlled, home-based setup features spacious enclosures, engaging tunnels and wheels, and daily gentle handling sessions that help young hedgehogs adapt to new surroundings.

Owner Jerilee Sewall has more than a decade of hands-on experience raising small mammals and continues to refine husbandry methods through ongoing research and peer discussions. Hedgehog Headquarters produces well-socialized litters, with each young hedgehog examined for clear eyes, clean quills, and stable temperaments before leaving the nest. Every hedgehog goes to its new home with a detailed care guide, a starter supply list, and email support for any questions during the adjustment period. Many local owners note how quickly their hedgehog bonds with the family and adjusts to its environment.
