how it works

getting started

  1. please review our policies page

  2. if you agree with our policies and wish to proceed, please fill out the application form

  3. your application will be reviewed and you will be contacted within 48 hours

  4. if approved, there is a non-refundable deposit of $50 to be placed on the waiting list. the deposit will be credited towards the purchase price

  5. pictures of the babies will be posted once they are a few weeks old. babies will range between $300 to $450 (+ HST) based on their colours and markings

  6. families on the waitlist will be contacted one at a time in the order of deposit

  7. you will have 24 hours to choose a baby and pay the remainder of the total. if there is no baby available that you like, you may pass and wait for the next litter (you will keep your spot on the list)

  8. once payment is received, the baby is officially reserved for you

  9. if we do not receive a reply within 24 hours, we will move on to the next family

  10. babies will be ready to go to their homes at 6-8 weeks. you will be contacted to arrange a pickup date

  11. a reserved baby must be picked up before they are 10 weeks old (unless we have made an alternative arrangement beforehand). after 10 weeks, we reserve the right to re-list the baby as available and you will be asked to choose a different baby

now what!? preparing for your hedgehog

  1. get familiar with hedgehog care 101 - ask me all the questions!

  2. get all your supplies ready! (psst - just give me The whole Shebang Kit)

  3. be excited

day of pickup

  1. please let me know if you are running late. we understand life happens 😅

  2. you must bring an appropriate travel carrier to transport your hedgehog home in. it must be able to snap, zip, or lock closed. don’t have one? check out the bonding sling

  3. if picking up during colder weather, you must be able to make sufficient arrangements to ensure the hedeghog is kept warm for the entire transport home. (the bonding sling can be worn under your jacket to keep them warm!)
