Prickly Pigs Express

Prickly Pigs Express is an African pygmy hedgehog breeder in Ohio, near Cleveland. Jennifer Ayers has been working with hedgehogs for several years and is active in local welfare groups, ensuring each animal undergoes routine health checks and genetic screening when possible.

Animals are raised in a calm domestic setting where they enjoy supervised playtime, gentle handling from an early age, and enrichment that helps them adjust to homes of various sizes. Clean, ventilated enclosures and a balanced diet based on veterinary guidelines reflect their commitment to responsible husbandry. The quiet setting of her home allows shy or rescue hedgehogs to socialize at their own pace before joining new families.

Adopters often note the personalized care, thorough guidance through the transition period and the hedgehogs’ calm temperament during home visits. This nurturing approach has earned respect among small-animal enthusiasts across the Midwest.
