Tips for Naming Your Hedgehog
Coming up with a name for your hedgehog can be easy if you give it a little thought. What does your pet look like to you? How does it act when in its cage? If that doesn't work for you, think about a favorite actor or character from pop culture. Hedgehogs only live about three to five years. So, if the name you choose is trendy now, it should be relevant for the lifetime of your pet.
