About us
At Boston Hedgehogs, we raise exceptional animals in a loving and caring environment. Dedicated to following a responsible breeding program, our focus is on keeping our animals healthy and happy for when they find their new homes. We are passionate about our animals. We love helping people find the perfect new addition for their families and enjoy a reputation as a kind and caring Hedgehog Breeder. We are USDA licensed and all of our hedgehogs are pedigreed.
​
Boston Hedgehogs is owned by a husband and wife team, Rachel and Bill Hoffman. Originally from the Garden State (and still owners of New Jersey Hedgehogs too!) they have found themselves happily settled in New England.
​
In addition to their herd of hedgehogs, they have two dogs, Henry and Kash, and two cats, Puccio and Azula. Ask them what their favorite part about breeding hedgehogs, and they would both answer that it's seeing a happy and excited customers go home with a new pet and family member.

I felt very comfortable adopting from Boston Hedgehogs. It’s clear they love their hedgies and take excellent care of their herd. Rachel is very knowledgeable, helpful, warm and made the entire process a pleasant and smooth process. Navigating the website, communication, ease of ordering all needed supplies and Rachel’s availability to answer questions equipped us with everything we needed to prepare Watson’s new home. We also love that they are still available to answer any ongoing questions and to offer support whenever needed. The priority is in providing the hedgies with a good home and care. Watson is such a joy with a curious, warm and boisterous personality!"
