Did you know that Hedgehogs are available in close to 100 colour varieties and colour patterns?
We at heritage-pets.com are fascinated by genetics; although we occasionally do have some of the more common colours available,
we tend to specialize in raising some of the rarest and more of the unusual colours of hedgehogs available in the hobby.
Whether you want one to keep one as a personal pet or if you choose to keep several as part of your breeding program,
it is important to understand that some of these colours are uncommon as they can be a lot more challenging to reproduce.
While science (genetics) certainly influences colour variety, ultimately it is "Mother Nature who always has the final
say!
Because of rarity we do not always have specific colour patterns available.
For many hobbyists, when it comes to learning which genes and how certain genes influence colour, this subject can be
a bit overwhelming to learn. Being that we enjoy working with genetics, if you are a breeder who is considering working with
rare colours, don't hesitate to call us for more information or breeding tips.
