All around cutie! Her Mom and Dad are Molly and Stewart. 10/04/21
Thank you Coastal Quills for helping us grow our herd!
All the way from Texas. A huge shout out to Coastal Quills Hedgehogs.
My mom is Molly and my Dad was Stewart the Great!
My Dad is Calvin and my Mama is Shaymin. I think I look more like my Dad.
Sweet as pie! All the way from Coastal Quills located in Texas. She is going to be a great little Mama.
Simply sweet and so tiny.
Healthy gal and super sweet!
I can't believe how lucky we are to be adding to our herd again from
Coastal Quills in Texas and
AJ's Lil Hedgies in Minnesota! Woo hoo!
TO PLACE A DEPOSIT
PLEASE GO TO THE SHOP!
(at the very top)
Please be aware that our waiting list operates on a first-come first-serve basis, which will follow an application process (coming soon), pre-screening, approval, and deposit.
(Baby prices range from 355 and up)
**********IMPORTANT**********
I will notify you when it is time to pick out your baby, you will have 24 hours to respond. If I do not get a response, I will place you next in line. After a 2nd attempt, you will be placed last in line if there is a 3rd time, you will be removed from the waiting list.
Thank you, for your understanding.
Purina Sensitive Skin & Stomach and a 50/50 mix of Purina Tender Selects (15% Crude Fat) are what we use.
Blue Buffalo is also a good brand for hedgies. Around 32% protein and Crude Fat 16%.
Hedgehog Precision has excellent food and snacks for our precious hedgies.
I switched from paper bedding To Aspen and we love it. It's a great way to go. Don't forget to spot clean. Fleece is okay too, watch out for toenails catching on the fabric.
Plastic bins minimum 110qt is preferred. You can drill holes for the water bottle if needed.
I LOVE everything about this setup.
The heat lamp (a must).
A thermometer (to make sure it's warm).
Plenty of hiding places and toys.
You can see the clear plexiglass 12" high to prevent climbing, paper pellets under the wheel, heat source, hide, and thermostat.
Most wire cages are NOT recommended due to the hedgehog's ability to climb and can get hurt. Coroplast 10-12" high is a great way to prevent climbing and help keep the heat in.
RAMPS ARE NEVER A GOOD IDEA WITH HEDGEHOGS.
A tray under the wheel or a ferret litter box in the corner is a great idea.
Eight out of ten hedgehogs can be litter trained.
DO NOT USE KITTY LITTER!
You can use wood pellets, fleece, or bedding on the tray under the wheel or wherever your hedgie decides to use for their bathroom
Facebook has many groups like Hedgehog Talk and other sites that can offer a lot of information and valuable resources. There are so many ideas and opinions; do what makes you and your hedgie happy. Make sure your heat source is not emitting light. Hedgehogs need 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of dark. A good temp is a minimum of 76 to 80, depending on your hedgehog's needs.
Please ensure your hedgehog's wheel is safe. As long as your hedgehog has play times, they do not have to have it every night. The Carolina Storm Wheel is the best!
Be sure to use creamy wash and NOT shampoo. Your hedgehog does not need a bath regularly; once a month at best. Foot baths daily are okay and a great way to bond.
Not all hedgies are cuddles bugs; you might feel discouraged with "bonding". Giving them an article of clothing with your scent is a good idea. Hold them on your lap while you watch a movie or give them a little foot bath to explore. As long as your hedgehog is warm, watered, fed, and their nails are kept trimmed; you are doing an amazing job and your hedgie IS happy.
You may find your hedgehog anointing, They use their spit as a way to mask their scent and get into all kinds of positions to accomplish their mission. A strange way to sort of camouflage and blend into their environment. It can also be new smells or tastes that intrigue them to do this. I also always wash my hands with Dawn dish soap before and after every time I handle my precious little hedgehogs.

Payment and Pricing
Hedgehogs START at a minimum of $355 and up.
To reserve a hedgehog there is a $75 non-refundable deposit to be added to the waiting list or reserve a specific hedgehog. The deposit goes towards the purchase price.
Pick-up or Pet Transport
Please bring a carrier to take your baby home in.
If you choose Pet Transport, I can help you set that up at your expense. Prices can vary, but they are usually around $200.
Health Guarantee and Warranty
As babies grow, their color and temperament can change. We guarantee (to the best of our knowledge) that all baby hedgehogs are healthy and free of any parasites when leaving CBH.
WHS Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome
As far as Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome goes, it isn't fully understood.
The Only Way to know for certain, is to have the diagnosis confirmed via necropsy by a licensed Professional. Many veterinarians may say or diagnose your hedgehog with WHS.
Again, the Only Way to know 100% for sure it is WHS, is with necropsy. If your hedgehog has passed due to WHS with a confirmed necropsy we will gladly offer you a new baby free of charge.
Company Policies and Support
We are here for you for the life of your hedgehog!
If you cannot care for your hedgehog, we will gladly take your hedgehog back - at No Cost to us.
Again, your hedgehog is sold to you as a pet onlyand NOT for breeding.
Buying for children
Please remember that children can often change their minds or lose interest. When purchasing for a child you need to be just as invested (if not more). Bringing home a hedgehog can be quite an adjustment for children/families/or first-time hedgehog owners. Please, please, please, do not impulse buy.
