Hedgehog Policies
Purchasing a Hedgehog
  • A $78 non-refundable deposit must be made to hold a hedgehog. That's $75 plus the $3 fee online payment companies charge. Remaining balance to be paid at pick up. If you pay the balance using an online program like Paypal, a 5% fee will be added. Paying cash will incur no additional fees.
  • The deposit goes towards the price of the animal (If the animal is $275, you'll owe $200 after the deposit)
  • ​No hedgehog will be held without a deposit.
  • By making a deposit, you are agreeing to all policies.
  • Please make sure that everyone in your family is on board with a new pet before making the deposit.
  • Hedgehogs must be picked up within 7 days of deposit being made (or the baby being weaned) unless other arrangements were made ahead of time.
  • If hedgehog isn't picked up within 7 days, it will be relisted for sale and any and all money already sent is forfeit.
  • If you no-show for pick up or give less than a 2 hour notice that you can't make it TWICE, your baby will be relisted, and any and all money already sent will be forfeit after the 2nd time.
  • If you need more time to pick up, all I ask is that you keep the lines of communication open and let me know what's going on. I will work with you on a case by case basis.
  • If you fall off the face of the earth and don't respond when I email, text and/or call you to let you know your baby will be ready on such and such date, after 72 hours of no communication, the hedgehog will be considered abandoned and will be relisted. At that time, any and all money sent will be forfeit.
  • A photo of the cage and heat set up will be required before the hedgehog comes home. If you refuse to provide a photo or to make recommended adjustments by pick up date, your deposit and all money collected is forfeit. Please make sure you research and are willing to provide proper housing before making the deposit.
  • If you buy a cage kit from me, I MUST have the money for it at least 2 weeks before your pick up date. If I don't have the money for it in time, you will be responsible for providing your own proper cage set up.
  • For pick up I normally meet at Feeder's Supply in Shepherdsville, the Fivestar Gas Station off the Brooks Road exit, or expo pick up. Sometimes delivery is available for an additional fee.
  • At this time we DO work with a couple ground transport companies and should be able to get a hedgehog to any legal state/area in the US.
  • Any hedgehog leaving the state of KY must have a health certificate from the vet. I will need to check with my vet to see what they charge, but it is $85 just to walk in the door. The buyer is responsible for the cost of the health certificate and office visit.
  • You must be over 18 years of age to purchase. ​​
  • I will not sell to you if you live where hedgehogs are illegal. (They are legal in Kentucky).
  • I reserve the right to refuse to sell to anyone for any reason.​
Wait List
  • It is a $78 non-refundable deposit to go on the waitlist ($75 plus $3 fee the online payment companies charge.)
  • When the babies are about 3 weeks old, I will contact people in the order they are in on the waitlist. ​
  • When someone is contacted on the waitlist, they will have 48 hours to respond or they will be moved to the bottom of the list and the next person will have choice.
  • If this happens, the deposit can still be used towards a hog when their name comes back up, provided they respond within 48 hours that time. If they don't respond on three separate occasions, any and all money already sent is forfeited. ​
  • I cannot guarantee that there will be enough babies in a litter, or that the litter will survive at all, to cover everyone on the Wait List. In the event your name is not gotten to, you will be contacted on a different litter when your name comes up. I have babies year round.
  • ​By making a deposit, you are agreeing to all policies.​
Guarantees
  • I offer a lifetime guarantee against WHS (Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome) on all hedgehogs that were bred by me, only with necropsy by a licensed exotic veterinarian, as this is the only way it can be definitively diagnosed. Without a necropsy showing the hedgehog had WHS, a replacement will not be provided. Replacement will be comparable in price (within $50) of the hedgehog that passed. No refund for any difference will be given. Necropsy is at owner's expense. Rescues and retirees not bred by me come As-Is.
  • PLEASE NOTE: FEEDING FOOD OTHER THAN WHAT I RECOMMEND VOIDS THE LIFETIME GUARANTEE.
  • If for any reason you cannot keep any animal you bought from me, I will take it back and find a new home for it.​
If you're having any issues with your hedgehog, I am here to help. My help and advice doesn't stop once you leave the door. That's the difference in buying from a petstore/backyard breeder and buying from a reputable breeder. I want to make sure you're happy and your new baby is happy for their whole lives!

I reserve the right to change these policies at any time.
