Been a bit since we’ve shared the hedgie crew!

Priscilla is a foster fail and little old lady who turns 5 this December 🩵

Theodore is a more recent foster fail, he is such a messy dude and so petite 🤭 he is around 6 ish years old and just loves to eat, p**p, and run on his wheel!

And then my sweet Poppy who is 3 and from one of my final litters when I was still breeding!

I honestly miss breeding and have been considering getting back into it… but it would still be years from now once my seniors are no longer with me 🩵🥺 but for now I’m fulfilled with my shop and helping rescues when I can!

Hello everyone! I am back from Vacation and just placed some orders to get back on track with inventory. We had a decent bit of orders that were placed while I was out of town, so getting prepped to get them hopefully shipped out Tuesday, forgot monday is a holiday!

I also wanted to announce that our kibble mix recipe is ever so slightly changing but no need to panic!! Some of our beloved kibbles recently went discontinued so I had to do some deep diving to find some wonderful replacements, and our new additions come from a well loved brand I used in the past as an owner but they slipped my mind. So no worried, our mix will still be loved!

Here is the UPDATED complete ingredient list for our kibble mix, it can also be found in the item description for every one of our kibble mix listings on etsy

I WILL BE PROCESSING ALL ORDERS BEFORE I LEAVE SATURDAY MORNING SO GET YOUR ORDERS IN NOW!! OTHERWISE ORDERS WILL NOT BE PROCESSED UNTIL I GET BACK ❤

I decided very last minute to join my family on their vacation, so im sorry for the very late notice of our temporary closure.

Our normal processing times are 3 business days but while I'm on vacation I will be bumping them up to 7 days so orders do not go overdue while Im away!

I will see if my partner is able to do some orders while I'm away but its not guaranteed.

Thank you for all the support with my shop, I apologize for any delays!! Make sure to place an order today or tomorrow to get it shipped on Saturday, otherwise I look forward to packing orders once I'm back 🥰

I apologize for any delays recently, I was going through a bit of a health flare resulting in extreme fatigue, then USPS suddenly decided to cancel USPS pickups from my home which I relied on heavily due to the amount of orders I ship out and being disabled makes it hard to transport them to the post office myself. So currently trying to figure out a new system to transport a couple times a week! And because of no pickups I lost my option to ship on Saturday now too 😭 So I appreciate all the support and patience during this time!!

Big mountain of kibble ready to be packaged and shipped off!! Working early this AM to ship out a batch of orders, I’ve been going through a health flare where I’m extremely fatigued so sleeping way more than usual but also messing up my schedule 🥲

USPS has also suddenly stopped allowing scheduled pick ups from my home, so I will have to start dropping off packages again myself which is really difficult due to the weight and amount of packages I ship out at a time 🙁 so I’ll be making a post office run today to drop off this big batch of orders 🫶🏻

Also wanted to include a little pic and update on Sparkle my 6 month old service dog in training! She’s settling well in the home and doing so great with her Service Dog Training so far 🥰❤️ it will be interesting trying to drop off the packages today with her lol

Fresh batch of our bestselling kibble mix was made last night! Your weekly reminder to stock up before you run out 🥰

www.theprickledrose.etsy.com 🤍

We also made some major updates to some of our listings to hopefully improve shipping calculations as Etsy seems to be a little wonky when it comes to ordering either multiple items and/or shipping internationally! We hope these adjustments mean cheaper and more precise shipping charges! But note we always refund shipping overage whenever we catch it!
