Itzy Bitzy Exotics

Itzy Bitzy Exotics, African pygmy hedgehogs in Missouri, serves families across the Midwest near St. Louis. Hannah Colon has been breeding hedgehogs for several years with a focus on health and temperament. Each young hedgehog receives a full veterinary examination and parasite screening before joining a new home.

They are raised in roomy enclosures filled with safe bedding and enriching toys, and receive daily gentle handling to support socialization. Meals feature a balanced diet of high-quality insectivore pellets, supplemented with fresh produce on a schedule suited to hedgehog needs. Gentle handling routines and gradual introductions help ensure a smooth transition for both pets and owners.

The home-based setup allows for individualized attention so each hedgehog can develop its personality at its own pace. Several past owners have shared appreciation for the calm, confident disposition their pets display after a few weeks in a new home.
