Today's little monster is [West African Hedgehog/ Four-toed Hedgehog Atelerix albiventris], but when you see these little guys, do you feel a bit familiar? They are the hottest " African Mini Hedgehog "
They are about 12-30cm long and weigh about 400-1000g. Domestic pets will be smaller, and the female ones are slightly larger than the male ones. The reason why they are treated as pets is related to their short nose and short tail. Compared with other hedgehog , they are really the best among hedgehogs
Wild West African hedgehogs adapt to the temperature of 24-30℃ If the degree is too high or too low, you will also have the habit of hibernating or summer hibernating . What is more interesting is that in fact, in the wild, they are off-road kings and can walk 8-9 kilometers in one night. Therefore, if domestic individuals lack activity, they will also torture them. You can try the large pet roller~
In addition, wild West African hedgehogs will have the strange habit of applying saliva to the thorns. There is no conclusion on this at present. It may be that their saliva can allergize predators, and even observations will also apply toad toxins on their bodies...
This kind of very cute pet hedgehog, I hope you will like it!
