Purchase Information
We have developed the following purchase procedure to ensure our babies have the best homes.
- Read our website (especially this page).
- Visit our nursery to find a baby you want to purchase.
- Click on the "Purchase Me" link next to the baby. You will be asked to fill out a short questionnaire about your experience and expectations.
- Review the information on the deposit screen to make sure it is correct. If you need an exact price quote, contact me prior to placing a deposit.
- If you agree to our sales terms and the information is correct, continue to PayPal to make your deposit. A deposit for a hedgehog is not refundable unless otherwise stated on this website.
- The hedgehog will be marked as pending. No one else can purchase this hedgehog; it is on hold for you.
- Within 48 hours we will review your application. We reserve the right to deny your application without reason. Most common reasons for application denial include:
- -living in an illegal area to own hedgehogs
- -lacking appropriate knowledge in hedgehog care and/or husbandry
- -we are unable to meet transport method request
- If your application is approved, the hedgehog will be marked as sold. If your application is denied, your refund will be returned within 7 days. We are not required to provide a reason if your application is denied.
- You will be given an electronic copy of our contract for you to review.
- -If you are picking up or meeting me to get your new pet, you can sign the contract when we meet.
- -If you are shipping your pet, you will be asked to print, sign, and mail a copy of the contract.
- If possible, bonding visits are greatly encouraged. You will also be sent weekly updates on the progress of your animal(s) via email.
- Your baby heads home. If your baby is shipped, payment must be made in full 1 week prior to shipping. If you are picking-up or meeting, you can pay cash or credit card at pick-up.
- Send us updates, pictures, and questions as your pet grows.
- If at any time circumstances arise, and you can no longer care for a baby you received from me, or anyone else, please let me know. I am willing to help you in any way I can.
