Welcome to Sunset Hedgehogs.
I am a hobbyist owner and breeder of African Pygmy Hedgehogs based in Swansea, South Wales. All of my hedgies are UKAPH registered and I strongly recommed others do the same as I believe that the registry is an important tool in the monitoring of our beautiful little critters. My hedgehogs are an important part of my family and are therefore pets first and foremost and I breed for health and temprament as a priority.
A little bit about me ... I have owned hedgehogs for a little while now and completely fell in love with my first little boy, Ripley. Following my experience with Ripley, I expanded my herd to include two other boys by the name of The Tidge (who is a very special boy indeed!!) and Gooner (my husbands hog, hence the name!!) and that was it, we were both smitten!!!!! We thought very long and hard about breeding because we were very well aware of the heartache of breeding animals and the toll this places on them - particularly with APH who are notorious for destroying their litters under stress!! Prior to breeding I researched thoroughly and was lucky to have a very experienced breeder who agreed to mentor me and whom has been very valuable and a constant source of support through my time owning hedgehogs.
All my hedgehogs are bred within the guidelines and ethics set down by the UKAPHR and therefore I pride myself on my herd and hoglets being of a high standard. Any Sunset hoglets leave us with a health guarantee, a full care pack and a guarantee of a lifetime of aftercare and support.

At Sunset Hedgehogs we fully encourage people to research their new potential pet as much as is practiable and recommend the UK APH forum as a friendly and open forum that has lots of helpful information and has a varied user group from potential new hedgehog owners to experienced owners and breeders to help answer your questions and provide valuable insight into the world of APH ownership. Please click the link below to join for more information.
Also, we are supporters of the APH UK rescue service. Due to the increased popularity of APH and their relative species within the UK, this has given rise to the necessity to provide a central place to organize the rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing of all types of exotic Hedgehogs and their relatives. The rescue is a central hub that co-ordinates, rescues and re-homes for exotic hogs throughout the UK. It relies on many volunteers around the country to give both their time and commitment, to help any unwanted, mis-treated or abandoned exotic hedgehogs and their relatives and relies on donations to ensure its continued success. Please click the link below for further information and to donate if you wish to support this cause.

Well, what can I say!
Fab people, very VERY helpful, kind, and lovely lovely little hogs! The hoglet I bought from them is a beautiful little boy, already well handled and litter trained... the care package was amazing, so much more than expected (especially loved the little hedgehog ornament- a treat for me!! :-) hehe). The after care and friendliness is invaluable. I drove all the way from the midlands to purchase my baby from them, well worth it.
They are amazing. Well recommended. xx
