Welcome to Kelly's Quills Hedgehogs

I am a African pygmy hedgehog breeder in Slidell, LA. I started breeding in 2009 and I breed pet hedgehogs for temperament and health, first and foremost. I handle all babies , and as much as possible, on a daily basis to help ensure a happy pet!

I am proud to provide continued support after the purchase of my hedgehogs.  It is very important to me that my hedgehogs go to a good home, so I provide guidance to my customers even after you bring your new baby home.  Some of the things I help my customers with are creating the right living conditions, feeding, and most anything else that comes up. If you ever have any questions, do not hesitate to call, text or email me.

A little about us

As a breeder we follow a strict code of breeder ethics as outlined by the International Hedgehog Association (IHA).  Our herd and babies all come with their own pedigree and registration numbers.  All of our hedgehogs are family pets first and are socialized on a daily basis.  We don't sell pet stores, wholesalers or as classroom pets. We have acquired a diverse lineage from reputable USDA breeders all across the country and can track their lineage over 7 generates back.

Being Arizona's first USDA licensed breeder.  Our goal is to raise the healthiest and most social hedgehogs as possible.  We stand by this by offering health guarantees and a return policy on all our hedgehogs.  Most pet stores do not.  We are local and do not import our animals. All of our babies are born here and never imported. That allows us to social with them at a very young age.

Healthy and social hedgehogs are our goal.  That's why we offer a health guarantee and lifetime support for our babies.  Our herd is registered with the (IHR) and has extensive healthy lineage from bloodlines all across the country from other reputable USDA licensed breeders.

Can you buy a hedgehog in a pet shop?

You usually can't find hedgehogs in the large chain stores like PetSmart, but many of the smaller independently owned pet stores have them. Check your local listings in your area and call the stores for availability. Local Breeders.

How can I get a pet hedgehog?

To meet their exercise needs, pet hedgehogs need an enclosure large enough to accommodate an exercise wheel and space for natural foraging behavior. The enclosure also needs smooth sides (so the hedgehog isn't able to climb out) and a hiding spot for sleeping. A 2-foot by 3-foot enclosure is considered a minimum size.

Are hedgehogs in NJ?

Hedgehogs were introduced to Jersey in the middle of the 19th century, around the same time as red squirrels. They have no natural predators in Jersey, as there are no badgers or foxes on the Island, but there are still many hazards for them to face. Rats, feral ferrets and dogs may attack them and even kill them.
It is currently not legal to own a hedgehog as a pet in the state of Georgia. Due to a few reasons including health risks and ecological concerns, they are included on the Georgia Department of Natural Resource's list of regulated exotic animals.
