This app lets you raise hedgehogs, which are popular pets. Hedgehogs come in a surprising number of colors, and in this app you can choose from six colors, including standard, cinnamon, cinnamon, and the rare platinum, and you can raise up to two hedgehogs at a time. Hedgehogs can be swapped with other hedgehogs as you like, and they will grow individually. There are also a wide variety of layouts, including shelters, driftwood, plants, stones, flooring, wallpaper, and a running wheel, which is essential for raising hedgehogs. Please enjoy the sight of a hedgehog running desperately on its running wheel. You can customize the layout to your liking, such as the position, angle, and color, to create your own unique layout. Feed your hedgehog with crickets as a snack. You'll be soothed by the sight of your hedgehog tilting its head to follow the tweezers. Feed your hedgehog with pellets once every three days. Take care of your hedgehog, earn points, and use them to shop.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: My Hedgehog at 5.0 against My Kittens's 4.0. My Hedgehog also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 8 days). My Kittens's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and ratings volume (55 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

My Hedgehog holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Kittens has 55 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of My Kittens's written reviews are positive against 80% of My Hedgehog's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

My Kittens ships an update every 8 days, My Hedgehog every 2 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
