Holiday Hedgies
Advance Reserve for December Hedglets
Available now through December
Is a hedgehog on your loved one's wish list?
We understand a hedgehog can be an exciting gift. However, a pet should only be considered as a gift for someone who has done their research, prepared for the responsibility of hedgehog ownership, and has wanted a hedgehog for a long time.
In an effort to prevent impulse purchases during the holidays, we only sell hedgehogs through our advance reserve list during the holiday season. We also understand a hedgehog can be a large purchase, so we offer several payment options for hedgehogs that will be ready to go to their new homes in December. This year's Holiday Hedgies will be posted and advance reserve customers will make their selections the week of Dec. 8th-13th.
Option #1: Advance PIF Reserve Gift Certificate for Holiday Hedgie $300.
This is a paid in full reserve that guarantees you a hedgehog from our litters that will be going to their new homes prior to Christmas in December.
Option #2: Holiday Advance PIF Reserve & Cage Combo $500. This is a paid in full reserve that guarantees you a hedgehog from our litters that will be going to their new homes prior to Christmas in December with a full cage kit set up, playpen, and soft sided animal hut. (You may also opt to select a gift certificate for an after holiday hedgehog.)
Option #3: In-House Payment Plan
$100 deposit and balance split in $100 monthly installments due the 1st of each month until balance is fulfilled.
Option #4: Afterpay
We can invoice with afterpay as a payment option with a 6% processing fee added. This gives you the ability to split the total into biweekly payments through Afterpay. Limit approval is set by Afterpay based on buyers' information.
After Holiday Gift Certificate $250
If you prefer to wait until after the holidays to introduce a new pet into your home, you can purchase a gift certificate a hedgehog that will be ready to go home after the holidays (usually Jan. babies). Price reflects a $50 discount. We do offer gift certificates for tenrecs and short tailed opossums upon request.

Definitions of personality terms:
Cuddler These are the super sweet, very trusting, rarely raise a quill or ball up, and are the social butterflies with the top notch friendliest personalities. Lovebugs that like being held and cuddled. These are the ones you see on social media being bragged about and shown off. The ones everyone wants.
Adventurous Super active, bordering on hyper. Always wants to explore. These hedgehogs are sweet and have no issues with being interactive AFTER they get their zoomies out with some exploration to burn off their abundance of energy and curiosity. They do not like to ball up or sit still, but do not mind being picked-up or held. Typically have friendly, outgoing personalities.
Comedian These are extremely friendly hedgies that comical personalities, sometimes bordering on clumsy, but without the hyperactive of the adventurers. They are interactive after the typical groggy wake up time of an average hedgehog, but the highlight is they are just plain funny. They unball with easily, don’t mind being held, are gentle and social. Their comical personality traits that will keep you laughing.
Average These are your typical hedgehogs behaving like a hedgehog. They wake up acting as if they need a cup of coffee before they deal with the world. After they are given time to wake up, they are friendly, quickly unballs when picked up, and are in a good mood most of the time.
Independent These hedgehogs are friendly, not shy but not fond of being picked up and seem a bit stressed when held. They like independent exploration. They enjoy human interaction in the form of verbal communication. They can be quite comical with their facial reactions and head tilts when being talked to. If you are looking for interactive but not fond of the feeling of their quills, this personality may be for you.
Improving These hedgehogs are slightly shy but showing potential for improvement. These hedgehogs require a little extra time to un-ball, may huff and puff or pop and click, may unexpectedly dart or attempt to run when being held, and may unexpectedly ball up when reacting to movement, loud noises, or at times when being moved around. Although jumpy, they will build trust quickly with continued attention from their human. But be prepared as they may regress and may need to rebuild trust with each new person, animal, surrounding they come in contact with. Though they start off shy, owners often find bonding to be most rewarding with these hedgies.
Shy These hedgehogs are nervous and would prefer to keep to themselves. They prefer less physical contact. They can be very noisy, huffing and puffing or making pops and clicks when they are uncomfortable. They take extended time to relax and unball. Once unballed they will unexpectedly dart or attempt to run and will unexpectedly ball up when reacting to movement and noise. These hedgehogs require time and patience, but for the right person, can be the perfect fit.
Grumpy These hedgehogs does not like interactions. They are not aggressive but not at all social either. They are happiest when left to themselves and do not like being picked up or held. They are known to show their agitation with pops, clicks, jumps, and hissing while staying balled up most of the time..Unfriendly These hedgehogs don’t want any interaction. They are generally unfriendly, stay in a ball, may occasionally bite if aggravated or irritated.
