We are a USDA certified hedgehog breeder in East Central Minnesota; we strive to produce the best. At AJ's Lil Hedgies, we breed for quality, not quantity.
(10)

We strive to produce uniquely colored animals with outstanding personalities and temperaments. If, for whatever reason, we believe any of our baby hedgehogs have a less then stellar temperament it will be noted next to the hedgie. We definitely push for people to do their research on hedgehogs BEFORE purchasing one for their home. These are super sweet creatures, but they do need different care th

an most pets. Please read up on these lil guys before adding them to your family. We currently are USDA licensed.

There's a handful more that will be posted but here's a good chunk of them that are looking for new zipcodes 💗

09/21/2024

Starting next week I'll be helping a breeder friend of mine with some of what she'll have available, so if you're looking for beautiful hedgehogs, long ears, lesser tenrecs, or greater tenrecs, and possibly some cages there will be some looking for some new zip codes. Definitely feel free to reach out but I probably won't have many details until next week when I start posting pictures.

I was thinking maybe I could get by with keeping these two plus Evee in apartment life, but at the moment I really can only keep my Evee so Floyd and Lucy will be 👀 for a new zipcode. They do currently live together which long term probably isn't the best plan so I'd recommend seperate cages. I do have an 8x2x2 Zen Habitat that I do have ready as well minus supplies. We could possibly figure out shipping for them as well, but they are tegus and they are pretty decent sized so it may or may not be the best plan but I'm flexible with figuring something out. Lucy is albino and she is 8️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ and Floyd is a tribrid and is 4️⃣0️⃣0️⃣. The cage was roughly 6️⃣0️⃣0️⃣.

This lil guy is our last long ear ready to reserve. He has a week or two left for being here then he'll be ready for his new zipcode.

08/06/2024

The last lil baby left ready to reserve. She's not ready for a few more weeks, but man this girl is AMAZING!!

07/28/2024

I'm surprised this lil wiggle worm isn't reserved yet! She'll be ready in just a few short weeks 🥰

07/26/2024

Last handful left to reserve. Luna and Ruby are older and ready for a pet/retirement home. Dandy is blind in one eye and a proven daddy. And the babies shown here have a few weeks left until they're ready but definitely ready to reserve. Message for more info.

It's taken us awhile to make this decision, but we think it would be better for Rocky to be in a home that has more yard and has a job for him to do. He's a very active dog and is super sweet and definitely has a desire to learn. He knows sit, stay, kennel, and shake when he's not distracted and has his full attention on you. He is house trained. He is fully vaccinated. He is NOT neutered and is fully intact. He does amazing with other dogs and would I think benefit greatly by having another dog in the household. He's definitely not an aggressive dog but does have a good mean bark and will let you know if someone is coming up to the house - after a few minutes of seeing who it is then the bark stops and he's a complete baby with that person. Barking is one thing we've been trying to work with him on because he does like barking at cars and people driving or walking by the house consistently and doesn't always listen that it's okay, which depending on your patience level can be a frustrating thing to train them on or listen to. But like I said, he's a quick learner and I think with a little more time and patience can learn to manage that better. He's a puller when it comes to being on a leash so a harness is typically better for walking him, but he does really well off leash usually. He LOVES the dog park and interacting with other dogs and people. He is also microchipped. We think he might have a minor grain allergy because his eyes get a little pinker on foods that aren't grain free so typically we keep him on a grain free food. He's AMAZING with kids and originally came from a farm that had like 10 kids of varying ages so he's extremely patient with them. He was born December of 2022 so is about a year and a half old. He does come with all of his misc things and his kennel. He is a very good family dog and soo smart, but we just really don't have the space for the size that he is and the time that he really needs. If you know of anyone looking for a dog he is a purebred Australian Shepherd with a fully intact tail and just a complete lover.

These two cuties are ready in about 4 weeks. The long ear is a sweet lil boy and the african pygmy hedgie is a girl (possibly odd eyed, but too squiggly to get a good look)

And there's Lyle. This guy is so laid back and amazing! He'd be a joy for anyone to own. He did have an incident about a month or so ago where he lost his tail unfortunately. It is growing back nicely but it's still at stub level. PM for more info on him.

07/25/2024

As much as I hate to also be posting him, Floyd will also be looking for a new zipcode. He's a tribrid tegu and is gorgeous! PM for more info on him.

Some kind of sad news, we will be selling out and closing down for the time being. Due to some personal issues going on we feel this will be for the best at the moment. It's been a very difficult decision to come to but at the moment this is what's best for our animals and for us. There are some babies in the nest that haven't been listed but at the moment these are most of the adults that we'll have looking. Some are ready to retire and a couple we will be waiting on litters from but we wanted to list them for the time being and go from there. It's been a fun number of years and I've met some amazing people. One day maybe we'll start back up but this is what needs to happen for the time being. We are blessed and thankful for all of you for making this a fun experience!

Some of our retirees and lines we're cutting back on ready for their new zipcodes. PM for more info.

07/14/2024

My babies are growing 😍

07/12/2024

A few girls 👀 for a new zipcode. Luna and Cordelia are both hitting 2 to 2.5 years old and are ready for retirement homes. Millie and Thelma are right around the year and a half mark. Cordelia is a little on the sassy side, but the other threw are complete lovers and would make amazing pets or herd additions! PM for more info

07/09/2024

These cute boys are 👀 for the perfect new zipcodes. Some of them have some sassy temperaments that take a little longer to warm up to whomever is handling them but all of them are lil lovers! PM for more info

I'm surprised this lil wiggle worm isn't reserved yet! She'll be ready in just a few short weeks 🥰

I haven't done an update on my tegus since getting them! Well, as you can see, Evee has grown quite a bit 😂

The last young male tenrec ready for his new zipcode 🥰

Who needs a lil spice in their life? Habanero is 👀 to bring that spice of life and joy to someone. Who's ready to add him to their home?

And of course I need to show off the long ear babies 😍 All three will be 👀 for new zipcodes in a few more weeks.

Someone needs a lil Emmett in their life! He is such a sweet boy and just look at that face! He'll be a fun addition for someone 💗

Lil Miss Nadine is our next spotlight baby! She's a little shy when she's first woken up, but is quick to turn into this sweet, curious, adorable little girl. She is 👀 for a new zipcode so if she's catching your fancy feel free to fill out an application and PM us 💗

It's about that time I show off Moses! He was originally reserved, but unfortunately he was ghosted :/ He is now 👀 for his new zipcode and is the sweetest lil boy. He would make someone a super cute lil friend 💗

Who needs this gorgeous boy?? If I wasn't keeping his amazing brother and sister I don't think he'd be going anywhere buttttt it's time his gorgeous self found a new zipcode lol

I haven't listed Monkee as 👀 for a home yet, but he will be in a few weeks and he is sooo stinkin cute!!

These lil cuties are Lesser Madagascar Tenrecs and they will be 👀 for a new zipcode here in a few weeks. Tenrecs are interesting in the sense that you need to swab their mouths and send their dna into a lab to confirm what gender they are. At some point we are planning on doing that, but if you're interested in reserving one and don't care if you know the gender or not than I will offer a discount toward their total amount. Tenrecs are smaller than hedgehogs, less heat sensitive, and love to climb so they are very unique pets to own and love.

This lil cutie is just about ready for her new zipcode 💗 Along with a handful of other lil sweethearts in the nest. Feel free to reach out with questions about her or any of the others we have just about ready.
