Breeder, Rescue, Spa & Hotel! 

SV Hedgehogs is a small hobby breeder of African Pygmy Hedgehogs (APH), Lesser Hedgehog Tenrecs (LHT) and African Pygmy Micro Squirrels (APMS). We are located on beautiful Quadra Island, British Columbia, Canada.
Our herd consists of Pedigreed Hedgehogs, Tenrecs and Squirrels, from all over Europe, the USA and Canada.
We pride ourselves on breeding healthy, friendly, uniquely coloured babies that are not inbred and free from genetic diseases.

​We offer pet Hedgehogs, Tenrecs and Squirrels for adoption; and rescue ones that need new homes. Please visit our Available Page to inquire about babies, adults and rescues that need forever homes!

*** Please note that we will assume you have READ our Policies page when contacting SV Hedgehogs. If you have NOT done so, please read BEFORE contacting me. Thank You!*** 💕🦔💕

I have owned hedgehogs since 2005 and started breeding in 2016.
​Our Registered Herd Initials are SVHH.

NEW!! African Pygmy Micro Squirrels!

BIG personalities in Micro packages! These tiny squirrels are the sweetest and most soft creatures I have ever met! They love ear scratches and full body pets! They do not jump off of you and love chillin in your pocket or a snuggle pouch!

These little guys are quite easy to care for and enjoy a varied diet of nuts, seeds, fruit, bugs, eggs, cat kibble... They like a warmer spot in your home and must be kept in pairs or a group!

Please Visit my Available Page for more details and my Care Page to see if a Micro Squirrel is right for you!
