Prickly Pear

Baby African Pygmy Hedgehog
 
Hi! I’m Prickly Pear! I may look a little spiky, but I’m actually a shy little sweetheart once I feel safe and cozy. I’m still just a baby, so I’m learning all sorts of new things every day, like where the yummiest bugs hide and how fast I can zoom on my exercise wheel. (Spoiler: very fast.)
 
If I get nervous, I curl up into a tiny ball, but I also love soft blankets, warm hands, and gentle voices. Give me a little time, and I’ll show you my cute snuffley nose and curious whiskers exploring everything around me.
 
Favorite hobby: Late-night wheel marathons
Snack of choice: Mealworms and crunchy treats
Special move: The Super Sonic Hedgehog Ball Roll™
