Got a new website up and running now consolidating everything we do where you can go to scroll through our currently available animals, rescues who need rehomed, and animal videos for education and entertainment, along with cheap 2nd hand supplies for every animal under the sun!

The video archive hasn't been uploaded yet, but we'll upload more every day forever so check back! You can also schedule a tour of our "zoo" or invite us to bring some of the animals to your party. Our classroom here holds 12 kids so lots of possibilities!

There's information on how to get on the waiting list and a downloadable care sheet PDF as well.
Let me know if you have any questions or if you find any typos 🙃
Thank you!

If anyone is thinking about adding a hedgehog to their family this year, run on over to wal mart now and grab one of these tubs! They’re only for sale a couple weeks out of the year and they’re only like $30!

10 years ago today we went to the local pet shop and got Brus (Bruce) and Bedspread.

My 3 yr old daughter at the time wanted the big one to be the boy and the small one to be the girl, so the real girl was named Brus and she sarcastically said the other one would make a great bedspread haha

Turned out Brus was pregnant at the time of purchasing her, even tho she was only 2 months old, and the pet shop had them living together so we did also. The first time we noticed there were babies in the cage, Bedspread was laying on them keeping them warm and my daughter said
“See that one’s the mommy” 😂🤷‍♂️

Friendly reminder to winter-proof your hedgehog’s room! It’s hot now, but it’ll be freezing for hedgehogs next week!

TIPS & TRICKS:
1.) get the tub/cage off the floor!
2.) put a blanket under the tub/cage
3.) put fleece strips in the hiding house
4.) set the tub/cage on a puppy heating pad
5.) put a space heater in the room
6.) turn the heat on at night

Heat lamps are very inefficient for warming up the entire hedgehogs environment and the floor of the cage, especially inside the hiding house, can still be very cold even with a lamp on. The lamp is better than nothing, but don’t rely on it to keep the hedgehog warm in every corner of the cage, or rely on the hedgehog being smart enough to lay under it if it starts to get cold.
