Privacy: We are USDA licensed. What this means to you: USDA licensed breeders are required by law to share information on every buyer with the USDA.
Information that is shared by us:
- Name

Buyer information is ONLY shared with the USDA.
Warranty: We offer a lifetime warranty against WHS. Never buy from a breeder that doesn't offer this warranty; it is required of all licensed breeders.
Guarantee: We guarantee that all hedgehogs sold by us are in good health and free from any known defects. The buyer must have the hedgehog examined by a veterinarian, licensed by the state of Florida and accredited by the U.S.D.A., within 5 calendar days of the date of purchase. A copy of the final examination report must be sent to us within 2 calendar days of the exam. Failure to comply will void any and all guarantees.
Note: If a hedgehog sold by us should become ill, it must be vetted immediately. We are not responsible for any medical expenses at any time.
In the unlikely event that a hedgehog is found to have a life-threatening congenital or genetic defect, we require a copy of all documentation (from a Florida licensed and U.S.D.A. accredited veterinarian who is experienced with hedgehogs) confirming such a diagnosis. We reserve the right to a second opinion by a veterinarian of our choosing to confirm the defect. If this guarantee is exercised, a replacement of equal value will be given. In such event that a replacement is given, the original hedgehog must be returned to us.
If a hedgehog sold by us should die, a necropsy must be performed by a Florida licensed and U.S.D.A. accredited veterinarian who is experienced with hedgehogs. A copy of ALL documentation, including the formal necropsy report (stating the cause of death), must be sent to us. If it is determined by the veterinarian (and stated on the necropsy report) that the cause of death was WHS or a genetic or congenital condition, the hedgehog will be replaced with one of equal value as soon as one is available.
To the best of our knowledge, no hedgehog from us (or in the ancestry of our breeders) has presented with WHS. In the event that a hedgehog sold by us, or in the lineage of our breeders, presents with WHS, our related breeder(s) will be retired upon notification.
Note: It is very important for all buyers to notify the breeder when a hedgehog dies from WHS or any other congenital defect.
