WE BREED AFRICAN PYGMY HEDGEHOGS
IN SEVERAL COLORS/PATTERNS.

SALT & PEPPER: THE COMMON WILD AGOUTI COLOR.
(SOME CALL THIS COLOR STANDARD)
CINNAMON: A LIGHTER, CREAMIER VERSION OF SALT & PEPPER.
ALBINO: OUR WHITE HEDGEHOGS ARE ACTUALLY ALBINO.
SNOWFLAKE: SNOWFLAKE IS ACTUALLY A PATTERN. THE ANIMAL CAN
HAVE A BASE COLOR OF ANY OF THE COLORS THAT WE BREED IN. MIXED
THROUGHOUT THE BANDED QUILLS WILL BE SOLID WHITE QUILLS. THIS GIVES
THE HEDGIE A "FROSTED" APPEARANCE. SNOWFLAKES CAN HAVE UP TO
90% WHITE QUILLS.
CHAMPAGNE: A LIGHT ANIMAL WITH MINIMAL QUILL BANDING AND LIVER
COLORED MUZZLE.
CINNICOT: A RUSTY VERSION OF THE CINNAMON.
OAK BROWN: A PRETTY BROWN ANIMAL THAT IS LIGHTER THAN A CINNAMON,
BUT DARKER THAN A CHAMPAGNE. THESE GUYS RETAIN THE FACIAL MASK
FEATURES.
APRICOT: A LIGHT COLORED ANIMAL WITH ORANGE & BEIGE QUILLS.
DARK EYED WHITE: THESE ANIMALS HAVE GLEEMING WHITE QUILLS...BUT
HAVE DARK EYES, EARS AND NOSES! THEY ARE THE ANSWER FOR FOLKS WHO
DESIRE A WHITE HEDGEHOG, BUT DON'T CARE FOR
THE PINK EYES AND SKIN OF ALBINOS.
PINTO: ACTUALLY THIS IS A PATTERN, NOT A COLOR. WHITE ON COLORED QUILLS. PINTOS CAN RANGE FROM LITE MARKINGS TO THE FLASHY TOBIANO PINTO, WHICH IS OUR FABULOUS HIGH WHITE STRAIN. WE ARE WELL KNOWN FOR OUR PINTO HEDGEHOGS AND BREED THIS PATTERN IN MOST OF OUR BACKGROUND COLORS!
PLATINUM: THESE RARE HEDGEHOGS ARE A TYPE OF DARK EYED WHITE.
THEY HAVE 99% SOLID WHITE QUILLS (NO BANDED QUILLS) AND THEY
HAVE VERY DARK SKIN AND FACIAL FEATURES. VERY STUNNING!

DISCOVER WHY TOASTY TENTS WILL MAKE YOUR HEDGIE
SAY "UMMM umm TOASTY!"

Hedgehogs are dry, arid, desert creatures that like it warm in their
environment. We get a little nervous if our hedgie's habitat gets much
cooler than 70 degrees. Having a supplemental heat source in the winter months is recommended in colder locations. Searching for an
economical and easy way to maintain a "warm spot" in our cages
led us to discover two great products commonly used by reptile keepers:

THE ZOO MED UNDER TANK HEATER
AND THE
ZOO MED REPTITEMP RHEOSTAT

The Under Tank Heater (UTH) sticks to the bottom
of the cage, and is designed to maintain a warm surface
temperature in one corner of the cage.
(We recommend placing this heater in the far corner
of the cage, away from the Whisper Wheel).

Since the UTH is designed to keep the cages of cold
blooded reptiles warm, if used alone, it tends to be a tad
too warm for most hedgies.

That is where the Reptitemp Rheostat comes in. The Reptitemp is a manual
control rheostat. Just plug the UTH into it. The Reptitemp Rheostat allows you to turn a
dial to adjust the temperature of the UTH! Turn it up in the winter and down in
the summer, depending on your inside house temperatures.

We sell both the ZOO MED UNDER TANK HEATER
and the ZOO MED REPTITEMP RHEOSTAT
as a package deal for
ONLY $50.00 + $6.00 shipping/handling

(NOTE: We recommend that you: 1. Do not guess at the temperature of your hedgehog's cage, and
always use a thermometer. We include a small thermometer with the Heater/Rheostat Combo.
2. We include a couple narrow boards in order to elevate your hedgehog cage above the
table top. This will create an airflow chamber around the UTH.
