QuestionI am a 9 year old boy who wants to buy a hedgehog. My parents want me to do research. I have two questions for you. First, Which makes a better house pet, male or female. And two, where can i buy one. The petstores near me don't carry any and neither does the exotic pet store. Please help!
AnswerI have seen far more personality difference between any two hedgehogs than I ever have between males or females as a group. The most important thing is finding a breeder who breeds for good temperament animals and socializes the babies well. This should assure you of a friendly pet that you can enjoy. To do more research I would suggest going to www.hedgehogworld.com. There are a ton of articles there that cover every aspect of hedgehog ownership. The site also has a breeders listing, and hopefully you will be able to find a breeder close to you who can help you out. Just let me know if you have any other questions!
