LC Exotics

LC Exotics is a small-scale African pygmy hedgehog breeder in the Piedmont region of North Carolina near Raleigh. Laura Conrad has been involved with these small mammals for several years as a hobby breeder registered with national species associations. She follows routine health screenings recommended for African pygmy hedgehogs and maintains meticulous records of feeding and growth.

The hedgehogs live in quiet indoor habitats with regulated temperature and ventilation. Regular handling sessions help each animal become accustomed to human touch and activity schedules match their nocturnal nature. This focus on calm socialization and enriched surroundings reflects a commitment to their well-being.

Each hedgehog receives a balanced diet of insectivore kibbles supplemented with mealworms and fresh produce for nutritional variety. Every litter is raised on a farm-style shelf system that allows easy monitoring of health and temperament as the hoglets grow.
