 Hedgehogs need liberal exercise and are competent climbers.
Logs can be arranged in the enclosure to form caves, tunnels and arches. They will use exercise wheels, but do not “play” with toys.

Although the African pygmy hedgehog is being commercially bred and raised, it is essentially non-domesticated, and is an extremely timid and nervous animal.
Young hedgehogs do not mind being held, but many adults struggle to be let loose, especially males. Their first defense is to roll up into a tight ball of crisscrossed spines, with the [...]
