PLEASE READ THIS PAGE  AND FOLLOW THE  SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS 

Easy To Follow Step-By-Step Instructions 

Step 1:                   HABITAT

We are unlike most breeders.  We have habitat expectations. Our goal is to find forever homes for these fun little hedgehog babies and we believe the key to a happy hedgehog is their home!  So first and foremost the habitat must be a minimum 8 square feet.   We know finding the right habitat is time consuming and can be challenging as most pet stores sell hamster cages and habitats too small for hedgehogs.  We have available a Habitat Starter Kit that includes everything a hedgehog needs for life!

Our habitat kit includes:

a 2 foot x 4 foot habitat with modified food tray that includes stainless steel food and water bowls, a 12 inch solid wheel, a large igloo (or cuddle sack), a bag of bedding, a custom cut litter box, a bag of litter, a litter scoop, and a bag of food.

$125

Step 2:                   DEPOSIT 

Otsego Hedgehogs requires a $50 deposit.  The deposit instantly reserves and guarantees you a baby hedgehog. The $50 is deducted off the total price and the balance is due at your adoption appointment. If you are purchasing the Habitat Starter Kit from us, and you are ready to place your deposit to reserve a baby from the next upcoming litters, OR if babies are available for picking NOW than you can use this quick form to request an invoice

What are your habitat plans?

If you have an existing habitat  then you would need to text pictures with dimensions for approval to Kristal @ 952-261-8829.  All habitats must meet our size requirements  and expectations. All habitats must be approved prior to us sending a deposit invoice. 

Step 3: 

Kristal will text you confirmation that your deposit has been received and direct you to choose a baby on the available babies page or from the next litter available. (If you do not see a baby that you wish to adopt, placing a deposit allows you first choice of the next upcoming litter)  

Step 4:                  PICKING YOUR BABY!!!!

After you have chosen your baby, there is a video below to watch that has all the habitat options and a form below for you to fill out with your selections.    (At the time you are notified to pick a baby, if by chance you do NOT see a baby your heart desires, you can easily pass the picking to the next family and you will have first choice of the next litter!  We want you to have the perfect baby so you do NOT loose your place in line.)

Step 5:              CUSTOMIZE YOUR HABITAT KIT !

Two IMPORTANT ITEMS FOR A HEDGEHOG:

* Insects:   Mealworms are a very important element of a hedgehogs diet, 8-10 per day are recommended. As an Insectivore, mealworms help a hedgehogs digestive system with processed cat food.   (If not purchasing now I strongly recommend purchasing some type of insects:  mealworms, crickets, grubs, slugs, earthworms, superworms, waxworms, etc.) A hedgehog can become constipated and live in pain without insects in their daily diet.  

Please select the items you want:

* Heat Pads:  Depending on the temperature of your home, you may also need a heat source for your hedgehog. Hedgehogs need temperatures of at least 72 degrees at all times to prevent hibernation (both in the wintertime when our homes can be drafty and also in the summertime when we run air conditioners).  Please watch the video on the care page (in the red section regarding placement of heat pads)
