L'Herissonnerie

L'Herissonnerie is an African pygmy hedgehog breeder in Quebec near Montreal. With more than five years of dedicated breeding, Selka Richard follows recognized health screenings for common genetic and neurological conditions. Each breeding female receives routine veterinary checkups and parasite prevention under a local practice familiar with exotic pets. Litters are raised in a home environment where daily handling and guided exploration encourage a calm, curious temperament.

Hedgehogs live in temperature-controlled habitats equipped with hides, exercise wheels and bedding chosen for ease of cleaning and comfort. A small-scale, owner-operated setup gives each pup plenty of individual attention, supporting early enrichment and socialization. Reviews often highlight the hedgehogs’ gentle nature and adaptability to new homes following the breeder’s clear health records and care guidelines. Each new owner receives a comprehensive care packet covering dietary needs, handling techniques and habitat maintenance tips.
