We carefully choose each home our babies go to. We reserve the right to refuse to place a hedgehog in a home that we feel is not ideal for this type of pet. |
To reserve a baby, please complete our adoption application (see link at left) and return to us via email. Please wait to send your deposit until after we have contacted you AND HAVE APPROVED YOUR APPLICATION. After we receive your application and you are approved you can pay your deposit and we will add you to the wait list. You do not have to pay a deposit to be added to the wait list but those who have paid the non-refundable hedgehog or Sugar Glider deposit will be contacted first when a baby becomes available. After you are contacted and have picked your baby we will then ask for your deposit to hold the baby for you if your deposit has not already been paid. Please keep in mind that, with live animals, breeding success is never guaranteed, and as such, estimated wait time is never guaranteed. We do our best to keep our wait list moving along, but are not willing to compromise the health and welfare of our animals in any way to do so. Please be sure a hedgehog is for you and you are 100% committed in getting one from us before paying your non-refundable deposit. Please note that our hedgehogs and Sugar Gliders are sold as pets only. We do not sell opposite sex hedgehogs or Gliders unless you are an established, properly-licensed breeder. We require a $50+ tax non-refundable hedgehog deposit and a $100+ tax Sugar Glider deposit by the age of two weeks or if we have contacted you after your baby has turned 2 weeks of age the deposit will be expected within a few days. This deposit will hold your baby until the age of six weeks for a hedgehog and 8 weeks for a sugar glider. After the age of 6 or 8 weeks, payment in full is required to hold a baby. If there have been no arrangements made to pick-up the baby and/or pay in full by six weeks of age, you forfeit the $50 or $100 deposit and the baby goes back on the available list. We accept cash, money order (made out to Erica Nelsen) or Paypal payment (There is a 4% surcharge for using this method- see link at left). NO PERSONAL CHECKS, PLEASE. |

We recommend that all new owners take their new hedgehog to a licensed veterinarian who regularly treats hedgehogs for a full health evaluation within 7 days of purchase. Should your hedgehog develop an illness or other health problem within the first 30 days of purchase, Lilac City Hedgehogs will replace the hedgehog with another hedgehog that is available now or in the near future. The unhealthy hedgehog must be returned within one week of the illness becoming apparent and also must be seen by a licensed veterinarian who regularly treats hedgehogs within that time or the health guarantee is null and void.

The written report must state the nature of the illness/disease/or other health problem and that it was pre-existing at the time of purchase. This health guarantee is NOT transferable from owner to owner, it only applies to the original owner that we sold the hedgehog to.

If the test results confirm that the cause of death was Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome, then a replacement hedgehog will be provided. |

Lilac City Hedgehogs is a home-based business, and as such, we do not have established "visiting hours." Additionally, we wish to reduce unnecessary stress on our animals by having too many visitors. However, we welcome and encourage potential hedgehog & Glider owners WITH APPROVED ADOPTION APPLICATIONS ON FILE with us to come meet our hedgehog herd & Glider Colony, see our facilities and learn more about hedgehog/Glider ownership (at pre-scheduled times and dates). We love to "talk hedgies/Gliders!" |
