May i know your purpose of getting a pair of hedgies? To breed them or as companions?

Let's say you are getting a pair, are you ready to provide two big containers for each of them. And when the female hedgie gives birth and you're going to keep the babies, can you provide every each of them a cage of their own? Hedgehogs are solitary animals and they don't like to share their cage with other hedgehogs. And you have to seperate the male and female hedgehog as male hedgehogs are horny and female hedgehog is limited to give birth 2-3 times a year.

Wow....unless if the hedgies are gold plated, i do not believe RM2K per pair....

yott-chan,

have you owned any hedgies before? How come suddenly decide to get a pair? What is your motivation and reason for breeding them?

akachester,

try not to get from the same breeder? I say dun even try....just get from different breeder. I believe inbreeding or line breeding MUST NOT be done. Furthermore, the gene pool of hedgies in Malaysia is very small and there is a very high possibility all our hedgehogs maybe related.

Yott-Chan,

If i were you, i'll take their suggestion on getting Mandisa from X-Free. See if you really like keeping hedgie as pet first before you think of breeding straight away.

Yott-Chan, the standard market price is RM280 now. Like sangterap said, get one first and see if you like to keep hedgie first while learning before you're getting another one. And hope that you don't breed hedgies for money
