📖 Hedgehog Naming Guide
- 01When choosing a name for your Hedgehog, start by observing their unique personality and habits — the best names come from who they are, not from a generic list.
- 02Think about the sound of the name. Hedgehogs respond best to names with clear, distinct sounds — try saying it aloud several times to see if it feels natural.
