Genetics research
When we started The Hedgehog Program, we launched a major project to discover the genetic colors of African Pygmy Hedgehogs and this project has already been completed. However, we are not closing this project as there are plenty of other species that also have fascinating colors and we love to research these other species. The genetics research helps breeders distinguish different colors, but also helps to avoid breeding colors that may be of concern regarding the health of hedgehogs.
