If you want a pocket pet but not a gerbil or hamster then perhaps a hedgehog would be idea. Hedgehogs are low maintenance, nocturnal creatures that are known for their numerous quills. Contrary to popular belief, the hedgehog is not related to a porcupine. The quills of a hedgehog and a porcupine are entirely different. A hedgehog’s quills are actually smooth and soft to the touch. They quills of a hedgehog are often compared to the bristles of a hairbrush. The hedgehog only uses his quills as weapons if he feels threatened, but even then the quills do not shoot out from his body. Instead, the hedgehog rolls into a ball and activate tiny air chambers inside the quills. This makes the quills stick up all over the body. They harden and serve as a protective shell from predators and from falls. Learn more from your veterinary clinic Middletown, DE.
