Sweet and Spikey Hedgehogs

Sweet and Spikey Hedgehogs, African pygmy hedgehogs, in the Piedmont region of Virginia near Charlottesville, has built a reputation for thoughtful husbandry and attentive socialization. Owner Jade Fowler has been working with hedgehogs for over five years and collaborates with regional enthusiasts to follow established health guidelines, including routine wellness screenings.

Each hedgehog is raised in a climate-controlled habitat that emphasizes gentle handling and environmental enrichment to support natural behaviors. Daily interaction begins shortly after birth to help young hedgehogs adapt to family life, and feeding protocols are based on veterinary recommendations. A focus on temperament and consistency has resulted in families praising the breeder’s calm, steady approach to pet introductions.

Breeding pairs are chosen for friendly dispositions and robust health, with new families often receiving follow-up guidance as each hedgehog settles in. Jade Fowler also shares seasonal care notes to help hedgehog owners recognize and support natural behaviors throughout the year.
