Policy

                                    Revised 7/18/2011

 Any Hoglets born at Hurricane Hedgehogs will come with a 6 month good health guarantee against medical and physical defects unless illness is due to neglect or disease caused by you or any other animal in your home. I also offer a life time warranty against WHS. If the defect shows up I will replace your hedgehog (equal or lesser value)  free of charge as long as you have a necropsy completed by a licensed veterinarian that I chose stating that the cause of death was Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome. I require that you contact me ASAP as soon as you think your hedgehog is becoming ill. There are many other diseases that can mimic Wobbly hedgehog syndrome. Once you contact me we will go over the possibilities and have your vet rule them out. If the hedgehogs quality of life has not improved then s/he may have to be put down (with both buyers and breeder consent) for the necropsy. If the approved vets necropsy comes back positive we will move forward to replace the hedgehog with a new hedgehog of equal value. Buyer must select an available hedgehog with in 90 days of the necropsy. After 90 days there will be no replacement. If I have no hedgehogs available then I will extend the 90 days until I have more available. If your hedgehog dies from other causes and not due to WHS then the warrantee is voided. Shipping is not included.

 

Return Policy

  If you decide that a hedgehog is not for you with in 15 days you will receive 50% of the amount you paid for him (not including deposit). After 15 days and up to 30 days you will get 25%. Anytime after 30 days there will be no refund but please do not hesitate to return the hedgehog to me. If the reason you are returning the hedgehog to me is because it is sick and you do not have the money to take the hedgehog to the vet then there will be NO REFUND.

Once any Cage setup and or supplies are in buyers possession there will be no refund.

Deposits

 We ask for a $50 deposit as a down payment when baby is 1 to 2 weeks old. The deposit will hold your baby until s/he is fully weaned. Deposits can be paid by check or through Paypal. (When paying with a check/ Money Order please make it out to Selena Buck) When you arrive to pick up your baby the remaining amount must be in the form of a M.O. or Cash.  There is no refund on the initial deposit. Once baby is ready to go home, you have 7 days to arrange pick up or else you forfeit your deposit and the baby goes back up for sale. When you put a deposit on a baby you can only  change it to a baby in the same time frame yours was born. I don't hold deposit for future litters. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

We accept Paypal for your convenience but there
 will be a 6% surcharge when using this method.

 

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone if for any reason we feel one of our Hedgehogs would not be the best choice for animal companionship for them or their family.

Shipping

I charge $265.00 for standard shipping when going through Continental Airlines. I can also ship Delta Standard shipping for $295.00. This includes Pet carrier, Fleece and a receiving blanket to keep your baby warm, small Bag of food and a few other extra costs. I ship mostly on the weekends but am pretty flexible with the time. Babies that are going to be shipped will have to be 8 weeks or older. I prefer not to ship if at all possible but will ship to hedgehog experienced buyers. If you have any questions or you are new to hedgehog please contact me to discuss your options.

You  may purchase shipping insurance through Continental for an additional $50.00. It is not required but is recommended. This will insure your animals are covered (Shipping and animal cost), If something unforeseen happens during transport. Continental will reimburse up to the purchased amount. 

Warning: Since I can not be with them during shipping
and protect them I can not be held responsible if
anything happens to them while being transported, if you choose not to get insurance.

 I do not ship to any states that hedgehogs are Illegal so don't ask!

 

 

Breeders

 We do NOT sell breeding stock to first time owners.
We only sell breeding stock to USDA licensed certified breeders. Florida breeders WILL have to have a Florida fish and wildlife Class 3 permit before picking up the baby if they are planning to breed them.
If you are a new breeder looking for breeding hedgehogs you will have to go thru an extensive interview by phone or via email. I do not sell my hedgehogs to just any random person looking to make a quick buck.

 As a breeder, you should want to better the species. All of my hedgehogs have pedigrees and make beautiful babies. You NEVER want to breed an un-pedigreed hedgehog! Just because the hedgehog in question is cute or super sweet doesn't mean he wont pass on bad genetics. Since the hedgehog gene pool is not huge there is always a chance of possible inbreeding.

 If you are a new breeder I HIGHLY suggest finding a well qualified breeder mentor to help you along your breeding adventure. Trust me, breeding hedgehogs is not for the faint of heart and you will need someone there to help you thru. Hedgehog breeding is by no means easy! They are very fragile paranoid animals.  You need a great vet on call and to be prepared at any giving moment that a problem may arise.
