What to Expect

You reserved your hedgehog, prepared their enclosure, and patiently counted down the days until they can come home. Now the exciting day has arrived! But what should you expect during pickup, and what should you bring?

Once your deposit has been placed, I will reach out to schedule your hedgehog's pickup appointment. The exact day your hedgehog is ready to go home depends on several important milestones. Before leaving GLHH, each hoglet must:

• Be eating and drinking independently

• Be gaining weight appropriately

• Reach the minimum weight requirement we have established for going to their new home

The health and readiness of each hedgehog comes first. If a hoglet needs a little extra time to meet these milestones, we will simply reschedule pickup. We want every hedgehog to have the best possible start with their new family.

​

What to Bring

Please bring a safe travel container for your hedgehog, such as a small box or carrier, along with some bedding for the ride home. This helps your new hedgehog feel secure and comfortable during the transition.

​

Pickup day is also your opportunity to ask questions! I schedule enough time during appointments to go over care information, answer any concerns, and make sure you feel confident bringing your new prickly family member home.

 

We are excited to meet you and help you begin your journey with your new hedgehog!
