After that, you'll be put on the waiting list until a baby of your criteria is available. A $50 nonrefundable deposit will be required to hold the hedgehog around the time it's 3 weeks old. It can be paid by: PayPal, Money order or check($25 fee for bounced checks). The deposit goes towards the full price of the hedgehog.
The babies are usually weaned around 6 weeks old and they can leave anytime after that. You can pay for the remaining amount of the baby with cash upon pick up. Or by PayPal before pick up. I will hold your baby up until he is 8 weeks old unless other arrangements were made ahead of time. After that period if you have failed to come and get him, he'll go back up for adoption and you will lose your deposit.
Guarantee:
All my baby hedgehogs come with a 2 year guarantee against death from any genetic disorder(this includes Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome). In order to receive a refund of a new baby or your money back(which ever is most readily available), I will require a copy of a necropsy report (showing that the cause of death was genetic) done by a licensed veterinarian, at your expense.
My return policy:
If for any reason you decide that a hedgehog is not the right pet for you, my return policy is below:
1-15 days - 100% refund
1-30 days- 50% refund
After 30 days, I don't offer a refund, but I'll gladly take the hedgehog back as a rescue.
When you come to pick up your little guy or girl it will come with:
- Pre & post support
- A weeks worth of food
- Free pet sitting for 10 days and discounts on additional sitting
- Referrals for veterinarians that take hedgehogs
