salt and pepper hedgehog
SALT & PEPPER
This is the common wild color of hedgehogs. It is a mix of
chocolate, tan, & cream colored quills. Some call this color
"STANDARD" and distinguish between various shades
of brown. To keep it simple, we refer to all of our Standard
Hedgies as SALT & PEPPER.
The SALT & PEPPERS have beautiful raccoon like masks,
dark eyes, and dark ears. The quills are banded.

CINNAMON
CINNAMON hedgehogs are a lighter, creamier version
of the SALT & PEPPER. The shade of CINNAMON can vary
from almost chocolate to very pale.
The CINNAMON'S retain the mask, dark eyes, and muzzle features...although many animals have more of a liver
color to their nose and face.

Albino hedgehog
ALBINO
ALBINO Hedgehogs were the first domestic color mutation
of hedgies. ALBINOS totally lack color pigment. This results
in them exhibiting gleaming white quills, pink skin, and pink eyes.
Those Pink Eyes...you either love them or you don't.

Cinnicot hedgehog
CINNICOT
This color is very unique. Some have described it as
a "rusty version" of a CINNAMON. Since these animals
look like they are a cross between a CINNAMON and
an APRICOT, the name "CINN-ICOT" was coined early
on by hedgehog breeders.
CINNICOTS are a color all of their own! Some
CINNICOTS lean more towards the CINNAMONS. They have
dark masks and very few orange quills. Others can exhibit
more of the APRICOT traits...having lots of glistening orange
quill color!! Since there is quite a range of shades in the CINNICOT color, they can come in either DARK EYED or
RUBY RED eyed varieties.

Pinto hedgehog
PINTOS!
The PINTO color in hedgehogs is actually a PATTERN and
not a color. PINTO refers to the patches of WHITE markings
which randomly occur on the body of the hedgie. Just like
PINTO horses, PINTO hedgehogs are each unique.

Platinum hedgehog
PLATINUM
The PLATINUM color is an animal with 99.99% solid white quills...they are essentially devoid of any banded quills.
Their skin is very dark, can even be JET BLACK. They
have BLACK NOSES, dark muzzles and ears. The contrast
against the WHITE quill color is stunning!!! We list
PLATINUMS here as a separate color category because they
are extremely rare. When we have them, they are generally
a tad pricier than the other DARK EYED WHITES.
