We charge $150.00 for a hedgehog baby regardless of sex/color. The only time this will vary is if it an adult or a rare color that we do not normally see.
We require a $50 deposit at the time you decide you want to hold a hedgehog or if you decide to prepay a deposit to be placed on our waiting list for an upcoming litters. We do NOT accept personal checks! Once you pay your deposit, it is non-refundable.
Holding the hedgehog you have chosen, means that I take it off the market and it is no longer available. If you decide (for whatever reason), that you no longer want the hedgehog, you forfeit your paid deposit. The reason for this is that your deposit removes the hedgehog from the 'Available Hedgehog' list. During this time, there could have been another potential buyer for that hedgehog. So remember, when you choose your hedgehog.....be sure you are committed to giving the hedgehog a home and completing the purchase.
In the case where we have people wanting the same color/sex of hedgehog, and deposits have been made, we will notify all parties only once when we know the color and sex of the babies. From there, it is first come first serve as to who gets that particular hedgehog. This means that whoever has made a deposit and notifies us immediately after we announce what is available, they will get first choice in choosing their hedgehog. The second person will get second pick and so on.
We encourage people to make requests as to what they want, however, when we get a small litter and numerous people wanting hedgehogs, we see this as the only way to make it fair to everyone. If someone wants a particular hedgehog that has already been chosen and they have made a deposit, this deposit can be used on a future litter. As stated above, we do not refund deposits.
Individual hedgehogs are priced at 2 weeks of age, according to characteristics which include: color, sex, temperament, quality, and current demand. Once a hedgehog has been priced and a non-refundable deposit has been made, the price of the hedgehog will not change.
NP Hedgehogs is a small breeder trying to produce quality hedgehogs. We carefully select our breeding herd for the best temperaments possible. We handle our babies as early as the mother will allow, in order to help insure the babies will be hand-tamed at weaning time.
