Great Lakes Hedgehogs relocated to Cleburne, TX in 2023.
Why should you get your next hedgehog from GLHH?
When we got our first hedgehog it was love at first poke! Unfortunately, the feeling was not mutual. So, we got another--and she was the sweetest thing! What was the difference? Socialization.
Our first hedgehog wasn't handled as much as a hoglet, while our second was gently and consistently socialized from a young age. That experience taught us how important early handling is.
That's why, here at Great Lakes Hedgehogs, our goal is to raise well-socialized hedgehogs that you can enjoy handling and bonding with.
We raise our hedgehogs in our home, where they experience everyday family life. They hear the children laughing, the vacuum running, the dogs barking, and all the normal sounds of a busy household. From an early age, they're gently handled by both us and our children, helping them become comfortable with people and making the transition into their new homes less intimidating.
We also proudly offer lifetime breeder support. Whether you have a quick question or need guidance months or even years after bringing your hedgehog home, we're always here to help!
How do you ensure that your hedgehogs are healthy?
At Great Lakes Hedgehogs, we carefully breed pedigreed hedgehogs, meaning we track each hedgehog's lineage for multiple generations. We know their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents, allowing us to make informed breeding decisions that prioritize health and temperament.
If a hedgehog is found to have a hereditary health condition, it is immediately removed from our breeding program. These practices help us produce healthy, well-bred hedgehogs for years to come!
To give you added peace of mind, we proudly offer a lifetime guarantee against Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome (WHS), a six-month congenital health guarantee, and lifetime breeder support.
Our commitment to our hedgehogs doesn't end when they leave our care. Whether you have a question the next day or years later, we're always here to provide guidance and support.
