Sad to see TikTok go, I took this screenshot earlier today to remember how some of my videos got some pretty big views!

Never would I think a video I’d post to the internet would get over 375k views, or get a total of 88k likes across all my videos!!

Sneak peek at the product photos we took today! Now time to edit all the images, then edit all of our Etsy listings 🥲 let’s see if I can get it done today or by Monday 😂

Also your weekly reminder to stock up on kibble if you’re running low ❤️ ANY SALES HELP FUND TOWARDS MY NEXT SERVICE DOG! SO ANY SUPPORT IS EXTREMELY APPRECIATED 🥰

I told yall! New year means new updates and we have made some HUGE changes to all of our products! NEW LABELS & PACKAGING!! Yay!!!

Also don’t mind the bag saying it’s a 2oz ultra mini sample 😂😂 it’s the 1lb bag!! I was testing labels 🤪

Also our 2lb listing is deactivated temporarily, with the new bags we unfortunately cannot fit 2lbs in any of the sizes offered. I’ve tried looking at other supplies and cannot find a bag that fits 2lbs. But do not worry! I’m still troubleshooting what I can do, but we may have to downgrade it to a 1.5 lb bag aka 24 ounces instead of 32! And of course the price will reflect the less ounces ❤️

What do you guys think of this sneak peek? Any orders I shipped this week are already receiving the new packaging yay!!! Also any 2lb bags that were ordered before listing deactivation will still be getting 2 lbs of product! I just gave you all (2) 1lb bags. 😊

Please give me time to edit and update all the Etsy listings! I have to take all new product photos to reflect our update products and packaging which takes a while! Then edit them for all the listings ❤️❤️

LOTS OF EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR THEPRICKLEDROSE! SEE BELOW!! 🎉

With a new year comes new updates! We hope you like the changes and updates we made so far!

✨WE HAVE LOWERED OUR PROCESSING TIME FROM 3-5 BUSINESS DAYS TO 3 BUSINESS DAYS!✨
We know our processing times were longer than probably liked, but last year was a bit harder on me health wise! Fingers crossed we can stay at this slightly shorter processing time! Just a reminder though that processing times do NOT include WEEKENDS or HOLIDAYS! I follow the Etsy ship by dates when processing orders, so it determines for me when orders are needing to be shipped by! Also please note that processing times do NOT include SHIPPING TIME! Shipping is chosen AT CHECKOUT! Some items include free standard USA shipping, but if you need your order a bit faster once processed, I always recommend PRIORITY shipping as its most reliable!

🌟 8 NEW BOTTLE DESIGNS HAVE ARRIVED! 🌟

Sadly some of our beloved bottle designs unexpectedly got discontinued with the new year, I'm still holding out hope for our Rose, Sand, Sage, & Powder Bottles! But at this time they are not available for ordering. I also went ahead and updated names for all of the current bottles to make room for our EIGHT new additions!

⭐️PICKY PRICKLES IS GETTING NEW PACKAGING!!!⭐️

Say what??? Yep its time for new bags! While I've loved our current ones, I think its time we size them up a little bit as my wrists are KILLING ME from trying to stuff every ounce possible into the current ones lol! So stay tuned for our snazzy new packaging that will be arriving soon! Any current orders will have the older packaging until we run out ❤

New hedgehog parent? Looking to spoil your hedgehog? Want to switch up their diet? How about a spa day for your pokey pal?

⭐ Check out our featured products! ⭐

🍽️ Picky Prickles Hedgehog Kibble Mix - A blend of ELEVEN (YES, 11!!) high-quality kibbles (corn, soy, and pea/legume-free) + multiple freeze-dried insects + multiple freeze-dried raw toppers + cricket powder & probiotics 🤍

🐟 Pokey Potion Kibble Oil - Pure salmon oil that helps entice picky eaters to finish their kibble & nourishes dry skin from the inside! Since oils aren’t safe to apply topically to hedgehogs, feeding a balanced diet with healthy omegas & fats (like those in our oil!) helps nourish dry skin and promote healthier quills & coat.

🍼 Quill Quencher Water Bottle - A chicken nipple-tipped water bottle that’s safe for teeth and tongues compared to traditional commercial pet bottles! No more tipped or contaminated bowls!
NEW DESIGNS COMING NEXT WEEK, SO STAY TUNED! Some of our beloved designs unexpectedly went out of stock, so fingers crossed they return, but we’ve added some exciting new designs in the meantime that we hope you’ll love!

🛁 Squeaky Quills Bath & Grooming Kit - A must-have for new owners or those looking to treat their pokey pal to a spa day! This all-in-one package includes Whipped Hedgehog Wash, Oatmeal Bath Powder, Kibble Oil, Scrubby Brush, Mesh Bag, Scoop, & Nail Clippers!

🌹🪻 Prickles & Petals Oatmeal Bath Powder - Does your hedgehog have extra itchy skin? Are they quilling? Or just need a relaxing bath? Try our Oatmeal Bath Powder! Oatmeal baths are great for SOOTHING dry, flaky skin, especially quilling babies who are extra tender. Simply steep in warm water to create a "milky" solution, then let your hedgehog soak and allow the oatmeal to soothe their skin. Be sure to rinse thoroughly after soaking! Added dried rose buds/petals & dried lavender provide a calming and lightly scented experience for both you and your hedgehog. The optional mesh bag & scoop make for easy cleanup, and the contents can go down the drain! 🙂

🫧 Huff N' Fluff Whipped Hedgehog Wash - Our handmade whipped wash is a SOAP-FREE base that ensures no natural oils are stripped from your hedgehog's skin, which can further dry it out! This wash lightly cleanses skin, and when used with our scrubby brush, gently exfoliates any dry patches. Lightly scented to avoid irritation and enriched with lightweight oils to nourish the skin, quills, and coat while preventing pore blockages.

Thank you for checking out my shop! ThePrickledRose is owned and operated by me, so any support is greatly appreciated! ❤️

Happy New Year Everyone! With the new year finally here, we are making some updates to our shop! The first update that will be coming soon will be our water bottles ❤ Some of our beloved options unexpectedly went out of stock and I'm not sure if they were discontinued or not, and I didnt get a chance to purchase more 🥲 So while we wait and see if they do come back, I went ahead and found some NEW styles that I'll be adding to the shop by next weekend, waiting for them to arrive and see if theyll make a good fit for what we offer 🥰 Will post photos once theyre made!

Wanted to share our newest rescue intake over at Huff N' Puff Hedgehog Rescue, if you think Quill.I.Am is a baby, you'd be incorrect!! He's about 3 or 4 years old and is a tiny little dude, he came to us at around 230 grams, he did drop some weight after arriving, but after finding the perfect concoction for him, he's now 240 grams yippee!

It will be a bit until he's big enough to leave us, but I'm enjoying having this little dude!

Hope everyone is having a fun and safe New Year's Eve 🎊 Please celebrate responsibly!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Here’s a little throwback to a photo we shared a couple years back when we were still breeding 🥺🤍 I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe holiday today!

11/28/2024

Hey everyone! Recently we’ve been getting feedback about our processing times as Etsy may not be making it easy to see when purchasing from our shop!

Our current processing times are 3-5 business days not including weekends or holidays. Then shipping times are an additional time depending on what you choose at checkout. Priority shipping is a bit more than ground select but can drastically reduce shipping time for a couple more dollars.

I will try my best after this holiday season to get back to a lower processing time, but since I’m disabled there are some days I am stuck in bed, and with my health not giving me a reliable schedule, having a longer processing time ensures there’s no delays for my customers and orders are shipped out on time.

I appreciate all the support my shop has gotten this year! And i appreciate everyone’s patience during this holiday season as our postal services are extremely busy and weather can be unpredictable causing delays 🫶🏻🤍
