Hedgie Hollow

Hedgie Hollow, African pygmy hedgehogs in Alabama in the Tennessee Valley near Huntsville. Jessica West has been breeding hedgehogs at Hedgie Hollow for over a decade and follows recommended health-screening protocols through a local exotic pet veterinarian. Each hedgehog receives a genetic health evaluation and thorough documentation of lineage to support healthy genetic diversity.

Hedgie Hollow maintains a home-based environment where each youngster enjoys daily handling and supervised playtime to encourage social behavior. Living spaces are temperature-controlled with natural bedding and custom exercise setups designed to promote activity. Diets combine high-quality insectivore kibble with fresh produce and occasional live mealworms to support growth. The breeding philosophy focuses on gentle temperaments, making these animals well-suited for both new and experienced owners. An independent reviewer noted their hedgehogs are “curious yet calm,” praising the thoughtful preparation and personalized guidance provided before each adoption.
