Katie's Pokey Hedgie Pals

Katie’s Pokey Hedgie Pals, an African pygmy hedgehog breeder in Michigan, serves southeast Michigan near Detroit with thoughtfully raised pets. Owner Katie Curtis has spent several years refining breeding practices under guidance from hedgehog clubs and a trusted veterinarian, ensuring each litter receives regular health screenings and clear medical records.

Young hedgehogs spend their early weeks in a home environment with daily handling, playtime in supervised enclosures, and socialization alongside other small pets. Living quarters include temperature-controlled habitats with enrichment items that promote natural behaviors and mental stimulation. Prospective owners appreciate the transparent communication about care requirements and the supportive follow-up offered as hedgehogs settle into new homes.

Feedback often mentions the hedgehogs’ calm temperament and the breeder’s readiness to answer questions long after adoption. The diet consists of high-protein insect-based kibble, fresh vegetables, and occasional treats approved by an exotic pet nutritionist to support optimal health. Katie Curtis also participates in local hedgehog meetups, exchanging care tips and staying current on welfare standards.
