Sonoran Desert Hedgehogs

Sonoran Desert Hedgehogs is a breeder of African pygmy hedgehogs in Arizona and the Sonoran Desert near Phoenix. Its program follows established guidelines for health screenings and regular wellness assessments. Each hedgehog is housed individually or in pairs in climate-controlled enclosures enriched with hiding spots, varied bedding materials, and safe exercise areas. Early socialization with gentle handling helps foster a calm disposition and trust in human companions.

Owner Nikki Kulak encourages thoughtful care by providing detailed guidance on diet, enrichment, and habitat maintenance to new households. The breeders maintain a small-scale operation to ensure individual attention and lifelong monitoring of each hedgehog’s well-being. They collaborate closely with veterinary specialists experienced in exotic pets to address any health concerns and uphold care standards. Regular updates on growth milestones are shared through photo journals to help owners feel connected to the hedgehogs’ personalities.
