Hamor Hollow Hedgehogs

Please do not click on any links on this page that have not been posted by either the Hamor Hollow account or my Kelly Sosik-Hamor account. We have some jerks spamming our page with their own links. I do not know anything about these Hedgehog people nor do I support their sites.

We only have 3 hedgehogs available. If you have already filled out a questionnaire and you are ready to buy, book your appointment immediately because they will be gone soon. Our next litters are expected to be ready in April, so if you want to get on our waiting list please post here and go to www/hamorhollow.com/questionnaire and fill that out. If I do not get the questionnaire, you will not be on the waiting list. Our babies are the crem de la crem of hedgehogs and are in big demand.

Your questionnaire responses also let us know how experienced you are. By putting time and effort into filling out our questionnaire you are demonstrating that you have a sincere interest in caring for a living creature.

We have some exceptional babies available right now. Our next available appointments are Sunday, Dec 1st. We will be closing for the Christmas holiday from Dec 15th through Dec 27th. We do not allow our hedgehogs to be given as surprise Christmas gifts because 20 years of experience has taught us that bringing a hedgehog into your home at an extremely chaotic time of year isn't going to go well. We currently have only 5 hedgehogs available and won't be breeding again till the end of January. So if you are interested in getting one of our hedgehogs, you should set up an appointment ASAP. We would also like to strongly discourage you from buying a hedgehog from a pet store. They are not socialized very well and chances are great that you will end up with a very prickly hedghog that no one (especally a child) will want to pick up.
OUr. hedgehogs are socialized daily and you will easily know the difference in handleability between our hedgehogs and a hedgehog from a pet store. If you don't buy from us, please buy from another USDA breeder who breeds from home.

It’s nail clipping day here at Hamor Hollow. Girls and babies are all done and the breeding boys are next.
The handsome boy above is available, contact us if you are interested. We don’t think he will be available for long!

Hedgehogs are available and ready to go. Please be sure that you have filled out our questionnaire and then contact me to set up either a 'learn and play' visit or a buying appointment. If you've never owned a hedgehog before, we are here to help you through the process of deciding and possibly owning a hedgehog.

This is a reminder to order our Hedgehog mix before the Holiday rush. The postal service starts to get really busy in December and we will be taking some time to visit with family and friends. So if you want your food in a timely manner and you don't want to chance getting your package lost, ORDER NOW! Don't forget to double check the address you are using for Paypal. If the package gets shipped to the wrong place, there is nothing I can do for you. www.hamorhollow.com/food

We have 3 newly weaned boys available this weekend. We also have some 3 month old hedgehogs available that would be a better choice if you have younger kids (Because they have been through the worst of their quilling, and are a bit more used to people). Check out our website to fill out an application and to request an appointment. www.hamorhollow.com

Hedgehogs are available NOW. We will not be open for Christmas, make your appointment now. Appointments available this weekend.

I have limited availability this weekend because I am doing an event at a library in Pepperell, MA on Sat. I can do appointments starting at 5:30 on Sat or Sunday between 11AM and 2PM. Our hedgehogs are in high demand and we have about 6 still available. When they are gone, we will be resting our hedgehogs and re-opening in January.

The average lifespan of a hedgehog is 3-5 years (7 on the outskirts). The average time it takes a 10 year old to get bored with their Christmas toys is 6 months to 1 year (and many times much less). Knowing this, I really hope you will think twice before getting any child a hedgehog or any other live pet for Christmas.

10/02/2024

We have about 8 hedgehogs that are ready to go to new homes. We will not be breeding for Christmas hedgehogs, instead I have decided to breed for hedgehogs that will be available after Christmas. Appointments are available this weekend for both Learning and buying hedgehogs. Please PM me to set up an appointment.

We are quickly getting close to that 'magical' time of year when every parent/ grandparent/ auntie thinks it is a good idea to get their child or relative a hedgehog or Christmas. My best advice (with 20+ yrs of experience to build on) is DON'T BUY THAT HEDGEHOG FOR CHRISTMAS. Don't buy it from me, and Definitely don't buy it from a pet store!

Hedgehogs are terrible X-Mas gifts. All animals are terrible Christmas gifts, but none more terrible than a hedgehog! And if you plan to wrap up that hedgehog and put it under the tree........ well, you are going to have a bad time.

WHY? well, a hedgehog is a specialized pet. They are prickly and those quills can hurt. That hedgehog is going to be super scared from all the yelling and loud talking around the tree. He's going to be super sharp and afraid and this is going to be your child's first experience with their new pet. After that, do you think your child is going to want to play with this hedgehog ever again?

From experience, I will tell you that the hedgehog will end up sitting around in his cage and never get played with, and then likely end up at my house as a rescue.

Follow me for more reasons why you should never give a hedgehog as a gift!

If you take your hedgehog to Tufts University veternary school for check-ups, PLEASE BE ADVISED: They told one of my clients that her HEDGEHOG WAS A TENREC. It is not. I have never ever owned a tenrec, and I breed all my own babies. This mis-labeling could have FATAL results. Tenrecs are not closely related to hedgehogs. Their health requirements are very different. I will be calling Tufts tomorrow and telling them that I bred that hedgehog and it is not a tenrec. Please feel free to share this note with friends or any hedgehog group.
