10 of the Most Unusual Pets You Won't Believe People Have

4. Hedgehog

Incredibly friendly and affectionate, the Hedgehog can make a great low maintenance pet. While they are in the baby stage, a Hedgehog requires a lot of attention. They are generally nocturnal and will be perfect for those that are night owls. If you’re not then you may want to consider a different exotic pet.

The Hedgehog is a generally quiet pet. They may squeak on their running wheel or rearrange their cage, both of which won’t disturb your neighbors. They are the perfect pet for people with pet allergies because they don’t have dander like cats or dogs do.

Hedgehogs, like Porcupines, have spikes and can be prickly. When you’re first getting used to your Hedgie you will get poked, but once you form a bond they can be rather cuddly!
