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.
