African Pygmy Hedgehog

Food:

They are omnivores and eat: mealworms, bananas, cherries, crickets, berries, apples, cat food and fruits.

Exercise:

They need plenty of exercise which can be offered with a running wheel. Choose an open sided, solid surface wheel big enough to comfortably house your hedgehog. He will also need time outside of his cage to explore and run around.

Habitat:

Walls must be high enough to prevent escape, (unless you want it to! ) as hedgehogs are good climbers. A glass aquarium or smooth-sided cage is ideal. Cages with a wire bottom should be avoided because your hedgehog could easily injure a foot in the wire.
