All hedgehogs are sold as 'PET QUALITY' unless sold to an approved and/or mentored breeder. Therefore, should we find that any hedgehog sold as pet quality has been used for breeding purposes, PEH may confiscate the hedgehog(s), along with any offspring remaining at the owners residence.
PEH will not sell a male and female hedgehog to the same person, to people living in the same residence, or to any group of people that we feel could 'accidentally' let them spend time together. It only takes a few minutes for a female to become pregnant when 'accidentally' placed with a male.
We carefully screen potential breeders and offer Mentoring at no additional cost should we feel that person would make a good breeder. We only sell "Breeding Quality" hedgehogs with excellent pedigrees and clean lines to potential breeders, current Small Private Breeders, or other USDA licensed breeders. We take the breeding of healthy, quality hedgehogs very seriously, as we feel anyone breeding any animal should.
BREEDER INQUIRIES: If you would like to purchase a hedgehog listed as breeding quality, please email me for PRIVATE TREATY pricing.
REFUND POLICY: If a buyer decides for whatever reason, that a hedgehog is not the right pet for them or needs to return a healthy hedgehog (and can't or does not want to exchange the hedgehog), we will buy back the hedgehog for the following pro-rated amounts*:
Returned within 7 days of the date of purchase = 75% of the sale price.
Returned within 8 - 15 days of the date of purchase = 50% of the sale price.
Returned within 15 - 30 days of the date of purchase = 25% of the sale price.
Returned after 30 days of the date of purchase = no refund is given.
Note: Shipping & Delivery Costs are non-refundable
*This policy does not apply to a hedgehog returned to us which is not healthy or is injured for reasons that were the buyer's fault (or due to neglagence). This includes but is not limited to, poor diet, drafty/cold living conditions, harm caused by the owner, owner's children/guests, or owner's other pets.
Hedgehogs often do NOT do well in environments where cigarette smoke is common. If you are a smoker or there is someone who smokes near the hedgehog on a frequent basis, we will not exchange the hedgehog, since it is likely that the same thing will happen with another hedgehog. Instead, we will offer a refund of the hedgehog (if it is healthy) at the pro-rated amount listed above, upon its return to PEH.
If you can no longer keep your hedgehog and our 60 day policy has lapsed, then we will gladly accept the hedgehog back and take it off your hands. Should an owner not be able to keep their hedgehog, we ask that owners contact us FIRST if they need help finding new homes for their hedgehogs. We will do our best to see a good outcome, for the situation. If you need to re-home a hedgehog that was not originally purchased from us, please attempt to return it to the original breeder or owner. If you are unable to do so, please let us know and we will do our best to help assist you in finding a loving home for your hedgehog.
If you have not already prepaid your $50 non-refundable deposit to be placed on our HOLDING list for first priority on upcoming litters, then a $50 non-refundable deposit is required at the time you "pick out" your hedgehog from any available litter. Until your non-refundable deposit is received by PEH, that hedgehog will remain "for sale" and thus may not be available at a later date. The pick-up date must be within 2 weeks of the hedgehog being weaned. If the hedgehog needs to remain on PEH premises (for any reason) past 2 weeks from weaning, you will need to make another payment immediately and pay for the hedgehog in full. Otherwise, your deposit will be retained (not refunded) and the hedgehog will be put back up for sale to the public.
Deposits may be paid online through PayPal, by money orders mailed via Priority Mail (with delivery confirmation), or any overnight service carrier.
The remainder of the balance must be paid on or before the date of pick-up by cash, money order, or PayPal...(absolutely NO personal checks will be accepted).
Deposits are non-refundable and will NOT be refunded, unless something were to happen to the hedgehog and make it impossible for us to replace it with another choice....NO EXCEPTIONS!
