These adorable little critters make the perfect apartment pet. Hedgehogs are a very quiet, small friend and are not aggressive as long as you hold them regularly. This makes them a great choice for both adults and older children. They virtually fit in the palm of your hand!

"Dizzy"​

Most people have no allergic reactions to hedgehogs. They have virtually no odor, are clean, and can be litter box trained. If you want a small pet but with a longer life span than say, a hamster, a hedgehog is definitely the pet for you!
Dr. Jungle shares what Lisa has to say about her pet..."A very sweet, playful pet, "Dizzy" is a one and a half year old female hedgehog. She loves to give me kisses, especially when offered her favorite treats which are bananas and cottage cheese! Her favorite evening activity is to waddle onto her exercise wheel and get her daily workout."...Lisa

Being basically a solitary animal, Hedgehogs don't mind being left alone for long periods of time, especially during the day. They get active in the evening and that's when you are more likely to be home to enjoy them. Yes, they make the perfect apartment pet!
There is also a European Hedgehog, Erinaceus, that is larger than its African cousin. It grows to about 12 inches long and weighs about 3 pounds. The European Hedgehogs are now protected in their native countries but were well liked by European gardeners, as they would eat up to a third of their weight in slugs, snails and insects in a single day!

They are cute! Just be sure to do LOADS of research first though, as they are considered an exotic pet, and make sure your vet will treat them!
