WELCOME!!
Thank you for visiting my web site! My name is Zadie and I am a Vet based in cheltenham. I have a great love of all animals and have made this site to educate, instruct and share my lovely furry (and spiny/scaly) family with you!
This site is dedicated to my African Pygmy Hedgehogs and my many other animals too, which I am slowly adding on are here (4 ferrets, 1 horse, 3 cats (who reside with my mum and dad) and 5 snakes - oh and a twin sister...)
** Thank you to my dad Alan Looker for all the wonderful photographs he has taken for me of all my beautiful pets and generously made avaliable for me to use on this website**
I currently own 4 APH's, the first APH I got was in 2008 and he is a male that goes by the name of Igel, well his registered name is Angelzoom, however that was a bit of a mouthfull so I nicknamed him Igel (German for hedgehog!).
My next addition who I got not long after Igel is a beautiful albino female that goes by the name of Ivy - her registered name is Ivory Snow (she was originally called Farley, however we made the decision to change this : theres not much difference in the 2 names)
After Igel and Ivy made such an impression on me, I simply couldn't stop at two and made the decision to give 2 more a new home, they were rescues who's owner could - through no fault of her own - no longer look after them, these beautiful hoggies are a wonderful slightly huffy grey called Spicy Branston and a fantastic little albino with attitude called Snow White. I fell in love with the grey and the albino came along with her as they are sisters and were living together anyway.
I first found out about these wonderful creatures from Lois a friend at university and since then have fallen in love with them, they are unusual pets, they are definatly not the average animal and not really suitable for young children unless very tame! They are nocturnal pets and prefer a fairly quite environment!
Throughout the site I intend to provide you all with some information on these wonderful creatures! I hope you will all enjoy learning a little bit about African Pygmy Hedgehogs, as they really are amazing little pets to have.
