Midnight Moon Exotics

Midnight Moon Exotics breeds African pygmy hedgehogs in Michigan in the lower peninsula near Detroit. Owner Brandon Mcintyre has been working with captive hedgehogs for several years under the guidelines of hedgehog welfare organizations and recommended health screening protocols. Their breeding stock undergoes veterinary checkups and routine genetic monitoring to support overall wellbeing.

Hedgehogs are raised in spacious, climate-controlled enclosures designed to mimic natural burrow conditions, with daily handling sessions that foster gentle, curious temperaments. Diets include high-quality protein mixes supplemented with fresh produce for balanced nutrition. Breeding pairs are selected for calm behavior, genetic diversity and clear family histories, and each litter benefits from supervised playtime and a range of enrichment activities. A small on-site nursery allows for close monitoring of early growth and social milestones. Many owners note that these hedgehogs adapt quickly to home environments and display friendly interaction even with new handlers.
