Priority Waiting List
Welcome to the Priority Waiting List, designed for serious adopters who want first pick of our future litters—especially the most requested colors before they become publicly available. Purchase prices vary based on the individual hedgehog.
Educational Appointments
Considering a hedgehog?
Book a $25 non-refundable session to meet and learn about our hedgehogs! This fee is deductible from your deposit if you decide to adopt or join the waiting list within one month of your visit.
Our educational appointments are 30 minutes long and are a great way to:
-
Hold and interact with a hedgehog
-
Ask any questions about care, housing, or the adoption process
-
To protect the health and well-being of our younger hedgehogs, only those labeled “Ready Now” will be available for handling and interaction. ​​​
-
Limit of 4 people at a session​
Waiting List Policy
To maintain the integrity of our breeding program, we have the first selection.
As a Priority Waiting List Member, you get first pick of the babies before they are listed to the general public.
Waiting Times & Color Availability
If you want a specific color or pairing, your wait can take several months—sometimes up to six months or more. Unsuccessful pairings, small litters, or retired moms can extend this time. Rare or unique colors are priced higher, and we cannot guarantee or predict color or markings due to Mother Nature. Litter sizes average 1–4 babies.
​
Baby Readiness
Babies typically go home between 6–12 weeks of age, once they weigh at least 180 grams and are eating and drinking independently. We will contact you by text or phone when your baby is almost ready to go home. Once your supplies are confirmed, we’ll send our address for local pickup or arrange transport. You will have 7 days from notification to complete the pickup—so please have your supplies ready before the baby is 6 weeks old.
​
