African Pygmy Hedgehog: Complete care, Biology & Husbandry Guide is a comprehensive and authorative eBook. It is designed for both current and future keepers of African pygmy hedgehogs (Atelerix albiventris). With 119 pages of in-depth knowledge, this guide bridges the gap between practical care and scientific understanding. Thus making it an essential resource for pet owners, breeders and proffesionals alike.
African Pygmy Hedgehogs originate from the Sub-Saharan region, particularly the Sahel, an area known for its unique ecosystems and biodiversity. While these hedgehogs have become increasingly popular as pets since the 1990’s, reliable and structured information about their care, biology and welfare remains limited. This book adresses that gap by combining field knowledge, practical experience and academic collaboration.
Developed in collaboration with organisations and experts including the IUCN Red List, Hedgehogs of Asgard, The Hedgehog Program and a student from Utrecht University. This eBook offers a well-rounded and research-informed perspective on the species.
