Rocky Top Hedgehogs

Rocky Top Hedgehogs specializes in African pygmy hedgehogs near Knoxville, Tennessee, in the Appalachian region. Christi Morris is committed to breeding healthy, well-tempered hedgehogs and follows health screening protocols recommended for the species. Each hedgehog is raised in a home environment where daily handling and supervised play ensure early socialization and confidence. The cages feature enrichment items like tunnels and foraging toys to encourage natural behaviors.

Rocky Top Hedgehogs has a small facility that allows for individualized care and close monitoring of growth and health. Morris schedules regular veterinary visits, provides a balanced diet of high-quality food and occasional treats, and performs daily weight checks to track healthy growth. A printed care guide accompanies each hedgehog to help new caretakers navigate feeding schedules and habitat maintenance. Litters are limited to maintain high standards, and Morris stays connected with other breeders to stay informed on best practices.
