Veterinarians

This is a listing of veterinarians who are known to care for our prickly friends. The list is small at the moment, so if you know a veterinarian that cares for hedgehogs, please send us a comment.

The vets on this list have been recommended by fellow hedgehog owners or have been used by myself. Each one is reported to have seen many hedgehogs. If you cannot find a vet in your area on this list, please visit Hedgehog Central for a larger listing of veterinarians who are known to be willing to see hedgehogs.
