Herisson Montreal Hedgehog

Herisson Montreal Hedgehog, owned by Karine Courville, is a breeder of African pygmy hedgehogs in Montreal, Quebec near Ottawa. With more than five years dedicated to breeding, Karine Courville collaborates with local hedgehog enthusiast groups and follows recommended health screenings including regular veterinary exams and parasite checks.

Each hedgehog lives in a temperature-controlled habitat with daily handling to encourage calm behavior and early socialization. Their diet combines high-quality protein and fresh produce, and living areas are cleaned multiple times per week to maintain hygiene.

Karine’s lifelong interest in small mammals guides her attentive care, and she shares detailed advice on feeding and enrichment with every new owner. Many families appreciate the clear guidance on housing setup and ongoing support as their hedgehogs grow. She also offers occasional workshops at local pet events to demonstrate safe handling techniques and enrichment ideas. Prospective owners receive a comprehensive care guide and lifetime support for any questions.
