1) Whats the smallest species of hedgehog you can get?
African pygmy hedgehog they may be more I dont know 2) roughly whats the price range? around £100-£180 usually £150 3) can you keep them indoors? whats size tank / hutch? / cage? would I need? They have to be kept indoors, some people use indoor rabbit cages, I use a vivarium with extra vents in, 3x2 feet I would say minimum 4) can you refer me to some good reliable hedgehog sites?

prices vary greatly, cheapest ive seen tenrecs for is £150, cheapest aph £80 ranging up to £200!! they are kept indoors, i have mine in well ventilated viv stacks, 4ft by 2ft housed on their own unless together for breeding

well all above is good info and i use a nero 3 for one of my hedgehogs and a zoozone 2 for the other and they are very good sized but yeah you do have to keep them inside but they are ranging around the 150 pound and they are good as a pet especialy as they are imo verry social and love to come out and see me they are also good if you work at the daytime as they come out at night.....
