"Ortigea" female senior- super sweet (PIF S.Brooks)

We are a USDA licensed breeder in NC. We collaborate with many reputable breeders from around the country to track and verify pedigrees, update lineage, and pass on health information that may be vital to continuing to produce hedgehogs that are free of hereditary disease and issues. All of our breeding hedgehogs are pedigreed and we do not condone the breeding of hedgehogs without a pedigree and knowledgable tracking of verified lineage. As such, we choose to only sell hedgehogs for breeding purposes to reputable USDA breeders or hobby breeders that have a mentor and are an active part of the hedgehog community. We offer the same health warranties & guarantees as most ethical breeders and require a similar application process in order to protect our animals from buyers that are unprepared to provide proper care and homes. We belong to several breeder associations and groups so that we can connect with other breeders, rescues, and hedgehog enthusiast. We are happy to refer you to other breeders or veterinarians in your area and provide you with additional resources to further your own hedgehog knowledge such as the pdf available below of "Pet African Hedgehogs:  A Complete Guide to Care." This book is written by Kimberly Goertzen, a highly experienced hedgehog owner and breeder that has spent years researching and developing products to support the health and well being of pet hedgehogs. We do not recommend Facebook groups or YouTube as an education source. The majority of information found on these type of platforms is based on options, not facts. It can be unreliable and occasionally harmful. Please refer to reliable information sources like the book listed or http://blog.critterconnection.cc.
