About Us

Prickle Pets is a hedgehog diary of sorts...it's a scrapbook of prickly pictures, it's a notebook to scribble thoughts about what works and what doesn't, it's a refrigerator door to save and share shopping lists.

We are not breeders and though we have done our research to ensure that hedgehog, Poppy, is healthy and happy, our musings should not be mistaken for professional advice.

If you are considering adopting a pygmy hedgehog of your own, we encourage you to do your homework before you bring one home. While hedgehogs may look irresistably cute, they are not good companion pets for everyone and the decision to care for one should not be taken lightly.
