Welcome to our HEDGEHOGS AVAILABLE web page. This page is designed to
highlight some of the hedgies that we have available for sale at the current time.

Originally we designed this page to showcase some of our PINTO COLOR patterns.

is well known in the hedgehog community for our exceptionally flashy

and well-marked PINTO HEDGEHOGS. Like pinto horses, each animal is
slightly different and unique. By using this page to post the pictures of some
of our PINTO "kids", we felt that our customers would have a better idea of
what marvelous color patterns are available.

Now that this page is available, we have decided to use it to post pictures of
other animals that we currently have in stock also. Check back often, as the
pictures and listings on this page will be constantly changing.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS PAGE IS NOT A
COMPLETE LISTING OF ALL OF THE ANIMALS THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN STOCK. THIS PAGE IS ONLY DESIGNED TO SHOWCASE
SOME OF THE SPECIAL LITTLE GUYS THAT
ARE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE.

We will make every effort to keep the postings on this page current. However, since we have
full time jobs in addition to the hedgehog care responsibilities, it is
IMPORTANT THAT YOU CALL to confirm the availability of animals listed on this page.

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR HEDGEHOGS FOR SALE IN ILLINOIS? OR HEDGEHOGS FOR SALE IN CHICAGO???
PLEASE NOTE:
1) Most of our hedgehogs are sold locally.
2) When sold locally, they are generally
between 7-9 weeks of age.
3) If you are out of the area, and will need for us to ship your hedgie via the airlines, we will not ship them until they are 8-10 weeks (due to the additional stress). So keep in mind that your wait time will be a tad longer than if you are willing to drive to the Chicago suburbs to pick him up.
4) We sell our baby hedgehogs to
PET HOMES ONLY.
(Please no breeder or dealer calls).

Now that the calander has flipped over and 2010 has arrived here in Chicago, we realize that 2009 has whizzed by WAAAAY too quickly for us and the quilled kids!!!!!
We appologize for not being able to keep fresh faces of our little buddies posted on this page in recent weeks. Quite frankly, all of our baby hedgehogs have been pre-sold to folks on our WAITING LIST ever since the
CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY SEASON .
Our 15+ years of raising wonderful little hedgies and the customer referals that come with our reputation, have meant that we have not had many animals to showcase on this web page in awhile.

The good news is that most of our customers who have put in a request for a baby hedgehog prior to CHRISTMAS have already begun to bond with their new hedgie!!!

Here at HEDGEHOGS by Vickie we are continuously endeavoring to match up individual baby hedgies with families that are the right fit for each other.
If this sounds like that might be you, we encourage you to contact us as soon possible to be placed on our WAITING LIST.

Please realize that the length of time that you will have to wait for your new baby hedgehog will be minimized if you are open to a variety of quill colors, eye colors, sexes, and price ranges. The more versitile you are, the shorter your wait!
We suggest that you spend some time on our COLORS PAGE and determine which hedgehog colors would be appealing to you. We encourage you to contact us as soon as possible to be placed on our WAITING LIST
or for more information.
We are always eager to "talk hedgehogs" and we will be happy to answer all of your questions regarding upcoming availability.

Currently, our average waiting time is 4-6 weeks.
(Although a few lucky folks have had animals available sooner!!!)

The common Standard color hedgehogs generally have the longest wait.

Since WE are more fascinated with the fancier colored animals, that is what we tend to produce more of. And we like to mix up our pairings so that we have a few animals of a variety of colors being born at any given time.

Although we breed hedgies year round, WINTER is not the normal breeding season for hedgehogs.
In past years, customers who were somewhat particular as to their requirements regarding EYE COLOR, QUILL COLOR, SEX, and/or PRICE RANGE
were wise to add their name to our WAITING LIST well prior to the traditional SPRING breeding season.
NOW WOULD CERTAINLY NOT BE TOO SOON!!!

NOTICE!
JUST CAN'T WAIT?
NEED THAT HEDGEHOG SOON??

Well you may just be in luck!
There is a possibility that we may have a
FEW SELECET HEDGIES AVAILABLE coming up in litters that are currently not spoken for. These bouncy little quill balls will be ready to go home sometime in FEBRUARY.

Depending on your needs and preferences, we may just have something that
will work for you!!!

For those of you who watch this page regularly, we are constantly in the process of weaning more wonderful spikey babies.

As I write this, we have more youngsters in the nest box that will be available for purchase in coming weeks.

If you are interested in purchasing a hedgehog, we encourage you to call us with your requests...currently most of our animals are sold without ever making it to this page!
