Home to Happy and Healthy African Pygmy Hedgehogs
About me!
At Ciera’s Hedgehog Haven, I am passionate about raising healthy and happy African Pygmy Hedgehogs. With years of experience in breeding and caring for these delightful creatures, my mission is to provide new owners with the knowledge and resources they need for successful hedgehog ownership.
Ethical African Pygmy Hedgehog Breeder & Holiday Care – Warlingham, Surrey
I offer professional holiday care for African Pygmy Hedgehogs (APH) in Warlingham, Surrey, at £10 per day. This includes all supplies needed for their stay:
- Spacious enclosure
- Exercise wheel
- Bedding
- Food and water bowls
- Hideouts
- Litter tray (optional)
If your hedgehog is on a specific diet, please provide their usual food. During their stay, daily spot cleans are carried out, with a full enclosure clean every 5–7 days. You’ll also receive daily photo updates of your hedgehog to keep you reassured.
Ethical Breeding
I breed African Pygmy Hedgehogs ethically and responsibly, prioritising health and temperament. My breeding females:
- Begin their first litter at 9 months old
- Retire by age 2
- Are bred only once per year, ensuring they have time to recover between litters
- Are pets first and foremost—if a hedgehog shows signs of distress or illness, breeding is stopped immediately
Hoglets leave at 8 weeks old (or occasionally from 6 weeks if they meet the required weight). Every hoglet goes to their new home with:
- A blanket that smells like mum
- A starter pack of their current food
- A toy
- A travel carrier
This helps ease their transition into their new environment.
Why Choose Me?
- Ethical standards and scientific care practices
- Studied Animal Care Levels 1, 2, and 3
- Currently employed at an exotic pet shop
- Committed to ongoing research in hedgehog health and behaviour
- 24/7 support for life—no question is too small
- Discounted boarding for all hoglets sold
- Opportunity to meet both parents and see all enclosures
- Hoglets priced from £200, to ensure they go to committed homes
I genuinely care about each animal I raise and board. My goal is to ensure every hedgehog is happy, healthy, and properly rehomed—not treated as an impulse purchase. If you’re looking for a dedicated breeder and carer who puts the animal first, you’re in the right place.
