The detail
A pinto hedgehog has patches of white quills over white skin mixed with areas of normal color, a spotting pattern rather than a base color. It needs the same warm, quiet, solitary setup as any African pygmy hedgehog.
- Housing
- 4+ sq ft, kept 72–80°F
What to weigh
The white patches can be pink-skinned and sunburn or dry out more easily. Otherwise it is an ordinary hedgehog, nocturnal and slow to trust.
