Background Information
I chose the species of the African Pygmy Hedgehog because I own one as a pet. His name is Hamish and I have had him for about a year. Around 2 years ago when I was first aware that hedgehogs could be kept as pets, I was immediately interested. After researching the care needed and the total prices of the necessities, it was decided that I would be able to adopt Hamish. Some pictures of Hamish can be found below, his age ranging from 8 weeks old to about 1 year old:
