Heavenly Hedgehog Retirement Home

Welcome to the residents of our happy, loving hedgehog rescue and retirement home. Message us about adoptable hedgehogs.

We have been rescuing hedgehogs since we fell in love with our first, who we adopted in 2015. Since then we’ve had over 100 hedgehogs pass through our care and many have been adopted. Hedgehogs that are older or require expensive health maintenance are permanently homed at the sanctuary located in North Canton, Ohio. If you are in need of re-homing a hedgehog we often are willing to meet halfway.

Patch has been with us for a few years now. He is going to the rainbow bridge today and lived such an amazing life. Like many hedeghogs, he has developed a large mouth tumor and due to his age and location of the tumor, surgery is not a good option. The message from his previous owner, Liesl Hasselfeld was so heartfelt and truly what rescuers need to hear once in a while. Thank you for being a wonderful human being and hedgehog mom.

Yesterday, our girl “Big Momma” was adopted. She is living her best life with an experienced hedgie mom, Erika Matthews. ❤️🦔❤️

One of my favorite pictures- Hazel (who was recently adopted) and her momma Abbe Studer Harshbarger.

Looking for someone with previous hedgehog experience to adopt a special girl. She came to us with a string wrapped around her foot. Sadly the circulation was cut off for too long and she lost some of her foot. However, she is very sweet and lives a (mostly) normal hedgie life.

Please message if interested! ❤️🦔❤️

Hazel was adopted today and is setting into her new home nicely. ❤️🦔❤️

These two are NOT housed together. On the left is Hazel, a female hedehog of average/normal size to other hedgehogs. On the right is “Big Mama,” who is a little more than double the average size. Hard to tell from the picture but she’s a big gal. ❤️🦔🦔❤️

We just got in this sweet, Cinnamon colored girl. She was dropped off in a box at a reptile rescue in Pennsylvania where a kind man found her and reached out to us. (Hedgehogs are illegal to own in PA and proper veterinary care for them is not available). Cinnamon received a nail trim, a lavender soak bath for her dry skin and otherwise seems sweet and healthy. She will be up for adoption and her forever home in the next few weeks. ❤️🦔❤️

Names needed!

Yesterday we traveled to Toledo to pick up these three rescue girls. Let’s just say… they’ve never missed a meal. 🤣🦔🦔🦔❤️ They all seem healthy otherwise…their ears need some attention (possibly had quill mites at one time?) Thank you so much to Sara Harvey for making the trip with us!

Hopefully they will be up for adoption soon-

With rescue, comes knowing when an animal needs help crossing the rainbow bridge. This was my first Sir Quilliam Spikespeare (not our current boy) and his autopsy findings. With hedgehogs, it’s always important to get a necroscopy to help add to the veterinary knowledge of treating them.

Hedgehogs are prone to tumors and WHS -wobbly hedgehog syndrome, a neurological disease. Anything we can learn to help prevent and treat these ailments in the future is a step forward.

Update on one of our adopted hedgehogs- Dexter is doing great! ❤️

03/06/2023

Today one of our hedgehogs (he is tentatively named Arthur) was adopted by a teacher at Ross College. He’s adopted from us before and is a very knowledgeable Vet Tech. Arthur is bound to have a wonderful life with students to learn from and vice versa. ❤️🦔❤️

Did you know that it is still illegal to have a pet hedgehog in certain states? Pennsylvania, California, Georgia and New York are a few.
