We at heritage-pets do not always have babies weaned and ready to go to new homes every day. However we usually have a small selection of babies either already born or do to be born throughout most times of the year. We understand that many people wanting one of our pets, live a fair distance away and need to make special plans to pick up their pet. If you live out of province/state and need to arrange pick up on a certain date/time, sometimes if we know long enough in advance, we can arrange our day around your schedule. What is the ‘approximate’ date that you would like to have a hedgehog ready to bring home?
Everyone has different reasons for selecting what they believe is the perfect pet for them. But sometimes do to lack of knowledge or misinformation people make the wrong decisions and later need to re-home their much-loved pet. In order to help avoid these kinds of situations, please tell us a little bit about why, “besides the cuteness factor” you want a hedgehog versus another type of pet? Why do you believe a hedgehog would be the perfect pet for you?
Do small children share your home? Hedgehogs are very cute, and most children find them adorable but sometimes-smaller children are better suited for a pet they can pet and cuddle with bare hands. While most adults are okay with holding a baby hedgehog, if smaller children will be interacting with one, then it may be better to consider purchasing a hedgehog that is a bit older. Usually a teenage hedgehog, over sixteen weeks of age, has already gone through it’s initial quilling. By then their quills are slighter thicker and are not as uncomfortable to tender hands.
How many other pets do you have in your home? What types? Are you the primary caregiver to those pets? We as responsible pet caregivers, need to accept that every pet requires a certain amount of time if it is to be cared for responsibly. Do you have the time?
Can you arrange to pick up the hedgehog at our home or will you require shipping or delivery? If you live out of our area (or province) and require delivery whether by land or by air, have you looked at our shipping page to get an idea of what your additional charges will be? While the costs associated with shipping seem quite reasonable, this may be a deciding factor on whether or not you want to pursue purchasing a hedgehog from us.
Those who would like to purchase a hedgehog to keep as a pet have different requirements than those wanting one to add to their breeding herd. People with the intentions breeding or showing usually have very specific goals and require lot more information regarding lineage, genetics etc.. Therefore we ask that all breeders (even though you have completed this form) that you call and discuss your breeding objectives with us at heritage-pets.com and we will do our best to help you make the right selection. (Please note…To discourage unethical breeding practices we do not supply pedigrees with any of our hedgehogs that are sold as pets.) DO YOU WANT A HEDGEHOG TO CARE FOR AS A PET OR AS A BREEDER?
What is your preference regarding the age of the hedgehog your are thinking about purchasing? We suggest the younger the better for mature caregivers, a little older for those with smaller children and six months and older for breeders. Retired adults or rescues may not always an ideal choice for first time hedgehog owners.
What sex do you prefer?
What colour type? Algerian or White Bellied?
Hedgehogs are available in a number of patterns and colours. Which colour pattern do you prefer?
The eye colour I prefer is
Hedgehogs come in a variety of colours. What colour do you prefer? (White, platinum, charcoal, black-eyed white are only available to breeders we know!)
We understand why and appreciate the fact that a lot of people choose to purchase their new pet from heritage-pets.com, but sometimes do to location and availability we may not have the hedgehog that matches the description/ requirements that you have provided us with. If we do not have the hedgehog that you are looking for, would you like us to forward your request, to another breeder, whom we feel might be better able to assist you with your quest? We only refer people to breeders that we know personally and only to those who we feel are dedicated to caring for their animals the way we do (in a humane and ethical manner) CLICK NO …if you feel more comfortable purchasing my hedgehog from Heritage-pets.com ONLY
I have cared for or owned a hedgehog before.
I have wanted a hedgehog for a while and have taken all the right steps to educate myself before I decided to add a hedgehog to my family. Besides reading every page on the heritage-pets.com website I have also read lots of other websites and other information regarding hedgehogs and now I think I am ready to add a new pet into my home. PLEASE CHECK… YES or NO.
I have read the recommendations on the heritage-pets.com and now have all the necessary supplies that are described on your shopping list page. I PROMISE THAT I WILL USE A SAFE OPEN AIR CAGE AND WILL NOT USE AN AQUARIUM OR ANY ENCLOSED BIN TYPE STRUCTURE TO HOUSE MY HEDGEHOG IN. I understand that by keeping any mammal in that type of enclosure is not healthy for the animal. PLEASE CLICK ON YES OR NO
I have looked at the price guide on the heritage-pets.com website and understand that prices do vary according to availability, colour (rarity), age and gender. PLEASE CLICK ON YES OR NO
I realize that not all veterinarians deal with hedgehogs but I do have access to a veterinarian that does deal with hedgehogs. PLEASE CLICK ON YES OR NO
I understand that heritage-pets.com does not sell animals to people under the age of 18 and either I am at least 18 years of age or I will have someone 18 years of age or older with me at the time of pick-up that will be required to sign/witness the health guarantee / bill of sale.

If we do have babies that are not reserved we take pictures of them and post them on our site and we update our site often! Being that our baby hedgehogs find new homes fast and our availability list changes daily,we suggest that if you see one currenty posted on our site that they really want, contact us ASAP!!! or it will likely be gone fairly quick.
