In Italy it is not allowed to keep the European hedgehog at home. However , there is the smaller African variety that can be purchased without any problems. This small mammal, belonging to the family of the erinaceids , certainly has a very nice aspect, but the commitment to keep it and raise it at home is not indifferent.

Fennec
In Italy it is allowed to own a fennec, a small fox that lives in deserts but which, more and more often, is adopted as a pet. As for his personality, we could say that the desert fox is halfway between dog and cat, affectionate but also independent.
He is very sociable and, in fact, does not usually have problems with other pets. Perhaps this is why many choose it for their homes. His biggest pastime is digging, so if you have any plants in your garden that you care about, better protect them in some way. The fennec is the smallest canid in the world, has nocturnal habits and is intelligent and curious. It hunts insects, lizards, birds, reptiles and small rodents, but sometimes also feeds on berries and leaves.
As you have seen, pets that are in fashion are really curious and interesting. Of course, their choice depends on an infinity of elements. Like your pace of life, the size and type of your home, as well as what you are looking for in a pet.
As always, we advise you to adopt abandoned dogs and cats waiting for a second chance: there are many and all ready to give you unconditional love. Exotic animals are best left in their natural habitat . But, if you really want, then the living beings that we have presented to you can certainly be a valid alternative.
