Hope Hedgehogs

Hope Hedgehogs, African pygmy hedgehogs, is based in Florida along the Gulf Coast near Tampa. Hope Robertson has raised these small animals for over five years and follows best practices outlined by leading hedgehog associations, including regular health checks and genetic screening. Each hog is housed in a temperature-controlled habitat with soft bedding and receives daily interaction for early socialization, combining safe indoor enclosures with supervised playtime.

The focus on consistent handling helps young hedgehogs adapt to new families with less stress and better established routines. Hog enclosures provide tunnels and exercise wheels under closely monitored conditions to support physical health. Prospective caretakers receive guidance on balanced diets and learn to spot subtle signs of discomfort or illness. With a background in small-animal husbandry and positive feedback from local veterinarians, Hope Robertson maintains transparent records for feeding, vaccinations, and behavioral milestones.
