General information about myself and Hedgehogs

Thanks for your interest in a hedgehog as a pet !! 

The following is a brief statement about the care and feeding of hedgehogs. It is in no way a complete care sheet for a hedgehog. Please research as much as you can about this great pet before you purchase one!! There are great web-sites and information on the internet. 

Hedgehogs can and do make GREAT pets !! They are sweet and lovable. And very easy to care for, however they are not for everyone.  

Some recommended books are...

The Hedgehog: An Owner's Guide to a Happy, Healthy Pet by Dawn Wrobel, Susan A. Brown.

The Pygmy Hedgehog, A Perfect Pet by Sharon Massena and Bryan Smith.

Hedgehogs come in a variety of colors. I can not guarantee what colors I will have. But my breeders are: 1 male salt and pepper pinto, 1 salt and pepper male, and 6 females, 2 salt and peppers, 1 cinnacots, 1 salt and pepper pinto and an albino. So colors run in their genetics. They have produced a nice variety of colors.

My hedgehogs are $225 each (price could vary on demand). I will reduce the price with the purchase of more than one.

I DO have a wait list for my hedgehogs. I do not need a deposit to add you to my wait list. If you would like to be added to my wait list please email me your...

How many hedgehogs you would like??

Do you have a gender preference??

I also do not sell to anyone under 18 without permission from parents. A parent will have to be along when the animal is bought. I also like to speak to the parent ahead of time so that I know it is ok. 

I will talk to you on the phone before you actually get a hedgehog as I will want to see that you are prepared, and serious about taking on the responsibility. I do reserve the right to refuse to sell to anyone I feel will not take care of the animal, is not serious, does not have proper housing set up, or is only getting the animal as a "novelty". My animals are my first concern. And seeing that they go to a loving a responsible home is the most important thing.

I in no way consider myself an expert on hedgehogs. However, I am more than happy to answer questions that come up with your hedgehogs as best as I can by offering you advice on what has worked for me in the past. I will try to help in any way I can, before you get your hedgehog and after you get one.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask me and I will get the information to you as soon as I can.

Thanks for your interest!!
