SteelCrest Exotic Pets

SteelCrest Exotic Pets is an African pygmy hedgehog breeder in Tampa, Florida, and along the Gulf Coast. They have been caring for these small mammals for several years, adhering to recommended health screenings and maintaining membership in regional exotic pet networks.

Their setup features temperature-controlled habitats designed to mimic natural environments, with nightly enrichment activities that support normal nocturnal behavior. Founder Billy Rodriguez emphasizes daily gentle handling to ensure the hedgehogs become accustomed to human interaction while still enjoying ample rest time. Each hog receives regular wellness checks from veterinarians experienced in exotic species, and detailed care instructions are provided to new families.

Testimonials from previous owners highlight SteelCrest’s clear communication and comprehensive care records, giving new families confidence in each adoption. This approach reflects a philosophy that balances professional standards with personal attention, creating a calm and stable setting for every animal.
