What is the name/breed of this hedgie?

[quilbert]

I really want a hedgehog, and I was looking at pictures on tumblr, and I found this picture and I thought that this is suuuch a cute hedge hog! So if you could please get back to me with the breed, and if it's possible to get it from pet stores, breeders & rescues in Canada, it would be great!

Thank you for your time!

This is the lil guy! (click here)

P.S: I just want to note that I do realize that there is such a thing of an albino hedgehog!

Welcome to the forum! :wave3:

I am not good with colors but I wanted to try to guess. I found my info here if you want to look for yourself. http://hedgehogcentral.com/colorguide.shtml

His breed is African pygmy. His color is what makes him look that way.

First of all he looks like a white-bellied hedgehog, because he has no cheek patches. That narrows it down some. He also has black eyes, pink ears, and a dark rimmed pink nose. His quills are lightly banded and white.

So my guess is he is a Cinnicot. I would say most likely a Black-Eyed Cinnicot White. Even though there is no picture in the list, the description fits.

I am no expert. Hopefully someone who is will tell me if I guessed right or not. The only thing I know for sure is he is adorable!

To find his color you would have to check out different breeders, but yes it is possible to get a hedgie like that in Canada.

There are too many banded quills to be a white. Based on the nose and the banded quills I can see, I'd say dark-eyed cinnicot, possibly snowflake.

Its possible to find them.

Thank you so much! I found that website after I posted this but still couldn't find him there, but thanks!
