Where To Buy A Hedgehog

I get a lot of perspective hedgehog owners on my posts How Much Work Is A Pet Hedgehog? and Must Have Products For A Pet Hedgehog. One question that I have seen a few times in response to those posts is, I am ready to get a pet hedgehog! Where can I buy a hedgehog? Or, where do I find a hedgehog for sale? There are several ways to find a pet hedgehog to buy.

where to buy a hedgehog

1. Buy a hedgehog from a pet store. Larger pet stores sell hedgehogs. In my area, the nearest pet store has a ton of fish, and a small assortment of birds and hamsters but that is about all. However, there is a much larger pet store about half an hour from me that has a much wider assortment of pets including reptiles, birds, ferrets, guinea pigs and so on. That bigger pet store sells hedgehogs. If your nearby pet store doesnโ€™t have hedgehogs, try looking online for a larger pet store.

2. Buy a hedgehog from craigslist. Individuals who own hedgehogs and breed them will often list them on craigslist. This is how I got my hedgehog. Any time you buy a pet from an individual breeder there is a risk that they are not a skilled breeder so research the person you are considering purchasing from thoroughly if you go this route. Itโ€™s fairly common to see hedgehogs for sale that arenโ€™t just babies. So if you are looking to buy a hedgehog that is grown, this is a great place to try.

3. Find hedgehogs for sale in the newspaper. Similar to craigslist, individuals who have a litter of hedgehogs will post their hedghogs for sale in the newspaper.

4. Buy a hedgehog from a local exotic pet group. Hedgehogs are considered exotic pets. I know of a Michigan group called Even Keel Exotics that sells a variety of exotic pets in Michigan. I havenโ€™t researched them much (so donโ€™t take this as a recommendation) , but I know that this particular group regularly has baby hedgehogs for sale. Do a quick google search for exotic pet and your state and see if your area has a similar group.

5. Find a hedgehog breeder to buy from. Hedgehog Central has a hedgehog breeder list to help you find out where to buy a hedgehog in the us, canada, the UK & europe.

Regardless of where to decide to buy a hedgehog, be sure to really look into the person. Be sure to look up wobbly hedgehog syndrome, as that is a problem that you certainly want to avoid. Write down a list of questions to ask the breeder or seller, such as the hedgehogs age or birthdate, their current diet, and so on. Look around online for more advice regarding picking a good hedgehog breeder and a healthy hedgehog so you can make an informed decision.
