HEDGIE DELIGHT

SEPTEMBER 3rd 2009 UPDATE:

All of the babies have found good homes at this time!  If you are interested in getting on our wait list - please contact us!  We plan to have more litters in Dec. & Jan. of this year...

Kindly, Sue 

All babies will go to new homes between 6-8 weeks of age.  We determine this based on weening, eating of solid foods, and overall size/health.  They are posted online with photos at 4 weeks of age and chosen. 

More updates are to come soon!  Kindly, Sue

FYI: We have decided to start our waiting list again!  If you would like to get on our waiting list for HOLIDAY BABIES - please contact us (contact us page and form) and also be willing to send a non-refundable $50.00 deposit.  We want to help as many people find hedgehog babies as possible - but we also want committed hedgehog buyers too!  We look forward to hearing from you soon!

MISSION STATEMENT:
Hedgie Delight is a small scale family operated USDA breeder dedicated to providing first quality African Pygmy Hedgehog Pets.  We PRIDE ourselves in our "PET FIRST" attitude, that overrides the concept of breeding for color or quantity!  Our Parent Hedgehogs are pure bred and most were sought from outside of the Minnesota Area. They come from top producing hedgehog breeders & are bred to produce healthy & temperamentally sound hedgie babies.  All hedgies are born and raised in our home and socialized from birth on.  By the time you encounter them, they have become accustomed to the HUMAN BOND that we all hope for in our pets.

OUR HERD:
I have 3 FEMALE hedgehogs that I breed: Piglet, Flower and Skittles (For Pictures - Click Here)

Typical Colors of Babies include:  Salt and Pepper, Grey, Dark Grey, Cinnacott, Apricot, Chocolate Chip, Brown-White and Albinos

I only breed compatible hedgies, to obtain the most optimal temperaments and dispositions in the young.

OUR HERD'S LITTERS OF BABIES:
The babies are HAND HELD as soon as possible after time of birth, on a daily basis, until they transition into your households.   They obtain a lot of human contact from both us and friends/family.  In addition, they become used to PLENTY OF ACTIVITY, due to being introduced to exercise time from early on in their youth - in our play pen, use of wheels, and the ability to roam around the house :).

I have litters available at most times of the year, breeding each mother up to 3 times a year.  This allows for optimal rest and recuperation between litters.

Typical litter size runs between 1-6 babies, on average 3-4 hedgies each litter.

Each baby is transitioned into solid foods, soft food, meal worms for treats, and learns to drink from a water bottle.
