Lesser Tenrecs

Lesser Tenrecs

Common Name: Lesser Tenrecs

Scientific Name: Echinops Telfairi

General Information: Lesser Tenrecs originate from Madagascar. They are rare in the United States. Although they look similar to a hedgehog they are not related. They are more closely related to elephants, aardvarks, and manatees.

They are primarily nocturnal animals but normally don't mind being held during the day as long as they are given the appropriate amount of rest in between. They are naturally gentle and easy to handle. The average lifespan is 15 years! Adult size is approximately 4.5" - 7".

Diet: We feed our Tenrecs our special blend of Hedgehog food and supplement it with mealworms and the occasional cricket.

Cancelation / refund: Please note, all sales are final. You are purchasing a companion, not a product. This is a big commitment, and we ask you to do the research and be fully committed before checking out. Also, once an animal is sold or preordered, they are considered unavailable. This means if you purchase and change your mind, it can potentially cost the animal a fur-ever home, as even with preorders, quantity is limited, and once the number is reached, other potential adopters will be told no. Due to this, animals are not refundable or transferable.
