haha.. you Heggie look very chubby. Where you bough from, isnt the seller should tell you what colour is it and how to take care? If I am buyer I am sure dig lot of inform from the seller of care fact.

Not only he cant tell the colours, mostly cant also Their colour is very hard to descrice, not so obvious like chinchilla la.. Back to ur Thread!!

Hehe joking.. I know he is from a good hand, dats y the previous owner only let go to me, from a long list he had, after serious consideration, Bro Chin.. Taking care n his habits, he told me d lo.. I also can see everyday n learn humprey behaviour, just beside me, everyday n everynight.. Only the colours, there r African n Algerian line of colours..

Still waiting for pro to help me..

Kelvin, as what Bonai he did look like Algerian line.. most of our pokimon also more to Algerian line... I wonder if anyone got African line? I really wan Pinto for now... but then its not available in malaysia

Humprey looks more like Algerian brown snowflake to me. Due to his cheek color, his ears.. thats wad i see from my research. lol..
n yet again... im suspecting my Echt is not an albino as his quill aint white, but pale cream.

^hiyuki : albino color is not white but a lil bit cream... if white of snowflake looks like this *picture shown* and that's my ken, S&P snowflake or Algerian grey snowflake .. and sorry its old pics just wan to give u see the color

If wan to know more bout the color u can refer to http://hedgehogcentral.com/colorguide.shtml

hehe.. yaya.. i know. but things are i found that his quills are actually banded, which might fall into the pale apricot type.
albino quills are not banded. =)

n FYI, our domesticated hegehog are africans type. Algerian is a color which falls under the African-pygmy hedgehog. The European hedgehog, which is larger than the african type, are wild n banned (illegal) to keep.

then maybe "PALE APRICOT SNOWFLAKE" xD

Sorry if mistaken but I'm not really sure bout Malaysia domestic hedgie will be African line cuz I din really go research bout it... but I did found out that most of our hedgie seems like from the Algerian type... but I would like to have African type thou wan to see any side diff other than color?

I wan algerian black!!! its so cute!!! if i can have one of each color it would be nice for collection.. but then could be hell of work as i needs lots of space n cage

hahaha.... u wan a hedgehog zoo?? cute loh~~

yaya.. from the research i did, 99% of our hedgehogs are African.
some are long-ears, huge ears, ears like mousie..
N then this African hedgehogs are split into several color groups - Algerian, White-bellied, Snowflake, Pinto, Albino.

I found 1 species of hedgehog, which falls under the European species have no more than 10 quills, looks so ugly n weird.
The European species are rather different looking, some even look like poccupine-shape, wild but facing danger of extinction d.
European types appear to be darker in color, can obviously see from the underbelly n face.

Hope this info might help abit. Coz i was rather confuse about african n european n the wadever algerian, so did some sort of research.


I love the cinnicot color. looks very cute.

kelvin.. i love ur Humprey~ so cute that i cant help starring at his pictures in ur flickr. LOL!!! chubby chubby ball!
I wanna carry him n steal him away!

altho i did the research.. im still not very sure how to decide the colors.
but most Algerian colors have colored cheeks, n the belly there slightly colored (not purely white).
can see from ur Humprey that he got the brownish cheeks. 50/50 banded white n brownish cream quills > snowflake for sure... his ear is brownish dark or maybe gray... from these elements, Humprey could be Algerian snowflake. Algerian choco snowflake...Algerian brown snowflake... algerian gray snowflake... not sure. It still depends on the exact ear color, face mask, the cheeks, n importantly the underbelly part whether it's mottled or not.
Need more expert ppl to confirm on this, n to really really confirm it, maybe picture is not enuf.. need see the rl thing. coz color may vary from picture.
n oh yea, I can confirm Sir Humprey is African-pygmy yeah~! He's not European. LOL.
