Chuck left today to live his best life.
This sweet girl’s parents contacted us about wanting to surprise her with a hedgehog. She thought she had to wait until spring, but she fell in love with this boy. The dance and squeal when they said “ok, you can get him” was PRICELESS! We were so glad to be a part of this surprise.
Ryker loves his expo naps. Just as long as mom doesn’t make him stay in a tote and he can commandeer a cuddle cup on the table!
Y’all! I got to hold a serval kitten! She tried to eat me… but I got to hold a serval kitten at Indiana Reptile Breeders Expo **Clarksville** !!!
I think this girl finally figured out how to keep me from peeping at her babies… 🤣😭
The wait is gonna kill me!
Little Marvin is off to live his best life with his new parents!

Come see us this month at one of our expos!
Sunday 8/18 - Indiana Reptile Breeders Expo, Clarksville, IN.
Saturday, 8/24 - The Kentucky Reptile Expo - Lexington.
We have two little girls and one adorable dark boy available. After these 3, it will be about 7-8 weeks until we have more babies!
Oreo update—-
Mom said, “The vet just called and said he did fine! He’s recovered and has already eaten several mLs of some liquid food they offered him.”
Thanks for all the positive thoughts!!
Take a moment to send positive vibes, thoughts, or prayers please!
Meet sweet little Oreo!
Oreo is almost 16 months. He’s the brother to Athos that we bring to a lot of our expos. Somehow Oreo injured one of his eyes, and he is going to lose that eye. His eye removal procedure will be tomorrow at the vet.
I thought it would be nice for his humans to read some positive and encouraging words from the rest of us!

If you have previously adopted from us…
These two prickly potatoes need retirement homes. Their adoption fees will be waived with either the purchase of a setup or the submission of pictures of an approved setup.
If you are interested in giving these huffy butts a loving home, please message us!
This cute duo is living their best life together!
Mom says, “Kate is amazing and doesn't get nervous anymore when we handle her and loves her cuddles with all of us. What an amazing addition to our family.”
This is why we do what we do! 💙 🦔 Justine Rossman
We have four babies available to go home on 8/15!
All of these babies have great temperaments and are super sweet little ones.
See captions for more info and message us with additional questions or to reserve one!
Sweet Pea is off to live her best life! She is the sweetest girl, so her new name is just perfect. This little girl will be missed in the hedgie room!

Message us for details!
Just today and tomorrow left on our Back to School special!
I’ll go first!
First day back to school for students! 🤪
What is a “holdback” and why we do it?
Our females are retired between 1.5 - 2 years typically, it depends on the girl.
In order to retain lines that we wish to keep in the program, we hold offspring back. Sometimes we hold them back for temperament or a trait expression too! That could be markings, coloring, heterochromia (different colored eyes), etc.
So, occasionally a pictured hedgehog will be listed as “RETAINING” because we are keeping them in our program. We do this so we can continue to offer the best pedigreed hedgehogs to our followers!
Pictures are 4 babies we are retaining this year! The bottom two and the top left because their moms are retiring, and the top right because she’s super dark and the sweetest little thing ever.
There are 4 days left in our Back to School Special for these 3 retirees!
Good morning!
As many of you know, I am a middle school teacher! Today is officially my first day back to school.
If it takes us a minute to respond, please be patient.
Thank you so much for your amazing support of our small business!
Look at her hanging onto her toy! She is kinda playing, kinda daring me to take it.
We are loving the personalities (and sometimes the tudes) of the Long Ear Hedgehogs.
This is Deanna Troi, but I not so secretly call her jaws… 🤷♀️
These are the only babies we have available for deposits to reserve! Check the captions for availability and info!
Aren’t they gorgeous?!? 😍
Update— Kate was happily adopted!!
Don’t forget! We still have 3 retirees available! Nyota and Ez come at no cost with the setup!
**Updated photo! Thanks, Justine Rossman. Isn’t this just the cutest?!?
Oh my goodness! Kate is off to live her life with the cutest little human friend and his sister.
I’ll update the picture of Kate and pal when mom sends me one because guess who forgot to take one… again! 🤦🏼♀️
Kate will always have a special place in our hearts, but I feel really good sending her home with her humans. She will be loved a ton! Justine Rossman
This little guy is headed for his best life with his young human BFF. He’s gonna be the best little pokey surprise!
We are super excited that we already
met one of our breeding goals this year! We produced a pair of super dark babies that have partial import lines making them have an extremely low Coeffient of Inbreeding.
Meet Phoenix and Ember! 😍
We haven’t posted about Ryker in a while!
Isn’t he just the most handsome boy?
Long Ear Hedgehogs interact more and, in general, have a more curious nature than their relatives the African Pygmy Hedgehogs.
Ryker has been known to throw fits when he doesn’t get out when he wants, and he loves playing tug of war with his little blanket. 🦔

Peter Parker is enjoying digging for his wormies today! We dump super worms and depending on the day they get different substrates to dig through to find them. Today the bedding was just easiest.

When you’re hiding but need a drink! Athos is our special boy! 🤣
We are looking for a patient home for this sweet boy that we are retiring! He just turned 2 and is super sweet, but he’s very shy.
We are super super excited to add another baby from our friend Coley at Prickly Pet Parents in Deland, Florida! I’m so in love with handsome Pepa, and I know he will help us expand both our dark and facial lines even more! … and we adore Coley, go follow her pages!
This adorable little squeaker (girl) is available. I love her, but decided to keep another girl Instead! She’s super clingy just like her momma, so she may be a Velcro hog. 🤣
Family chow time! Two of these sweeties will head home soon and two are still available! Message us for details!
Oh my this sweet girl is dramatic! …and gorgeous! We love her!
Monday morning cuteness! How adorable is this sweet girl? ❤️
Here’s a cute video of a little nugget eating to make you smile! This little girl is on the smallish side, so we give her a separate bowl so she isn’t sharing and turn it sideways. She likes climbing in things and snuggling, so being in the bowl makes her feel safe despite her being away from her mom.
Sometimes parenting makes you work! …even for food! 🤣🤣
Come see us tomorrow at the Kentucky Reptile Expo! We have several babies available, a few retirees, and tons of sewn goods! We can’t wait to see you there!
Anointing babies—- sooo cute! This is my favorite baby stage! 😍
Cuddle Sacks available! Discounts available on multiples!
Come see us today at Kentucky Reptile Expo, 10-4! Located at 430 W Vine in Lexington!!
