A hedgehog is any of the spiny mammals of the subfamily Erinaceinae and the order Erinaceomorpha. There are 17 species of hedgehog in five genera, found through parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, and New Zealand (by introduction). There are no hedgehogs native to Australia, and no living species native to the Americas. Hedgehogs share distant ancestry with shrews (order Soricidae), with gymnures possibly being the intermediate link, and have changed little over the last 15 million years.[2] Like many of the first mammals they have adapted to a nocturnal, insectivorous way of life.
I am interested in getting a hedgehog.I was wondering if it was safe for them to run around my apartment,and If they would still be litter box trained.Please let me know if anyone has done this,and also where their hedgehog slept,and how they introduced it to running around after being in a cage.
This is a photoblog for Easter the Hedgehog. We are very proud of her and want to show her off. If you want to learn more about pet hedgehogs, please do a lot of research. They are very unique and wonderful and require care different than any other animal.
