Maple's Prickle Patch

Maple's Prickle Patch is an African pygmy hedgehog breeder based in Ohio’s Midwest region near Cleveland. The operation follows standards from the North American Hedgehog Registry and ensures each hedgehog receives routine veterinary checks and health screenings.

Animals are raised in climate-controlled enclosures with daily handling sessions to encourage friendly temperaments. Breeding pairs are selected for health and gentle dispositions, and litters are monitored closely until they adapt smoothly to home surroundings. Their diet includes quality insects and fresh produce tailored for optimal nutrition.

Maple’s Prickle Patch has shared hedgehogs with families across the region for several years, fostering a community of owners who value consistent care. Under owner Brandi Spaulding’s guidance, enrichment features like supervised playtime, exercise wheels and nesting materials reflect natural behaviors. Many families note the calm nature of these hedgehogs as a testament to thoughtful socialization and attentive husbandry.
