Located on the second floor of this building located in a side alley, we had quite a hard time locating this cafe.
The name of the cafe was chiku chiku hedgehog and we made a reservation on the website.
The place was quite small but cozy and quiet. Not much ppl around at the time when we arrived, only another couple was around. There were about 10 hedgehogs each kept in an enclosure like the one shown above. It’s so cute, like a doll house with tiny furnitures and beddings.
The drinks from the auto dispenser machine was free flown and self service. We were given gloves to wear when handing them and we also bought some live worms to feed them.
Most of the hedgehogs were sleeping at the time we visit around 12pm since they were nocturnal creatures.
Each hedgehog had their own personalities as we discovered when we moved from 1 hedgehog to another. Some were more tamed and timid while others were more aggressive and agitated.
Each of them also comes with a card stating their birthday, names and their ID next to the enclosure.
We had a lot of fun feeding and playing with them. They were v food motivated and will greedily gobbled up the worms when they saw it.
They were bigger than I expected. The tip
to carrying them was to lift them up from their soft belly.
In the center of the room was this large enclosure containing many hedgehogs.
The cafe has its own bathroom and they also sell several cute and nice hedgehog souvenirs.
Before we left, the friendly staff even offered to help us take a picture with the hedgehog. This little fella needs to coax out using a worm bait otherwise it just refuses to look at the camera, haha....
Overall, it was an enjoyable experience with hedgehog and I can see the hedgehog here were taken good care of by giving them breaks in between customer.
The sign on the enclosure that state the hedgehog is taking a break. It’s a pity that hedgehogs are illegal for sale in Singapore....otherwise I would love to keep one as pet.
