African Pygmy Hedgehog
(Atelerix albiventris)
Northern Africa – "Licorice" and "Peppermint," these sweet-faced girls are small enough to fit in your hand—if you don't mind their 7,000 touchable spines! They like to walk on tippy-toes and wiggle their noses while looking for yummy insects. Gentle and easy to pet. Great for the youngest of audiences.
