Riassunto

Relatively new to the pet industry is the African hedgehog. Hedgehogs can make interesting, somewhat challenging, yet fun and enjoyable pets. They are mammals whose entire back is blanketed with spines like a porcupine. The sharp spines can cause injury to an owner if the hedgehog is not handled properly, but the spines are NOT barbed like a porcupine and will usually not puncture the skin. They do not throw their spines for defense. As a defense mechanism, hedgehogs "ball up" exposing only their spiny backsides. Because they often "ball up", owners may not be able to handle or play with them like other pets. However, a well socialized, frequently and gently handled young animal will become more tolerant and less afraid, so it will not ball up as much.

In this book, you’ll learn

What kind of cage you need to buy

How to socialize the animal to your touch

How to monitor its interactions with other pets

All the basics of food, cleaning, and handling you’ll need to know to keep your hedgehog healthier longer

And Much more!

With their quilled backs and unique behaviors, it’s easy to see why people think of hedgehogs as an exotic pet. This book will help make the exotic familiar, allowing you to add a touch of the wild to your own home.
