Ainsley Willow Hedgehogs and More

17/11/2024

Today made one thing clear. I can’t even take a substantial deficit on these rabbits and move them. So I will be selling out of my hollands. Also have a French lop doe available. I will just have one French lop breeding pair left.

All my hamster breeders are available.

And I still have several adult (and baby) hedgehogs and some mice 👀. I might not have to renew my usda license after all.

UPDATE: It is too cold to bring the mice and hamsters

We will also have these babies with us today at Tractor Supply on Preston Hwy!

We will be set up at the Tractor Supply on Preston Hwy today with these baby bunnies right around lunch time. We will be at the back of the lot. Look for us near a gray Ford pick up truck! Reduced to move!

NOTICE

*I do not haggle on my prices. Would you go into Walmart and tell them you aren’t paying their prices and ask if they would take less? No, so please don’t do it here.

*I cannot deliver. My car is a piece of junk. I meet in Shepherdsville KY. No matter how many times you ask if I can meet here, or what about here, or how about there, the answer is no. I wish I could. I used to all the time, but I still owe $17k on my piece of crap car that’s got 55k miles on it and has already had three transmissions put in. And now the ignition is messed up. If I break it trying to deliver a $100 animal, that means I cannot get to work and I lose way more money than that on loss of income. Not to mention how much towing it home would cost. I do happily work with a few ground transport companies.

*No you won’t get a discount because you have to come all the way out here or because you have to use transport.

*Ive already said this before, but I’ll reiterate it. I cannot meet after dark. During the winter months I can meet between 10:30 am and 5:30 pm. It used to be 9 am but I can’t get everyone taken care of and myself out the door by then.

*I have decided I’m getting totally out of hamsters. I have one last litter due that’ll be ready at Christmas time (the weekend after) and then that’s it.

*I will be getting down to 6 or less breeding Holland Lops. They don’t sell well because the market is flooded so I’m going to basically only breed for Christmas and Easter. I may decide to cut back even more later. Their upkeep is costing me about $330 a month and people expect me to basically give them away so it just doesn’t make sense at this point. Out of a litter of 6, I’ve sold one. Out of the second litter of five, I’ve sold none.

*Once this wave of animals finds their homes and I can breathe a little easier, I’ll go through and decide the second wave.

Looking back at the past 4 years, I’m so grateful to all of those who have supported my small business.

I’ve mentioned lately that I’ll be cutting back. Costs of operating have now gone way over what I make through sales. An increase in backyard breeders flooding the market have sales at an all-time low. The majority of people just want quick and cheap and when you have the Amish and others popping out baby hedgehogs for 50-100 bucks and rabbits for 10-25 bucks, there’s just no way I can sustain my ethical practices and be able to compete with them. And I refuse to compromise my standards.

Lack of dependable transportation has also made it impossible for me to attend any expos not in Shepherdsville, and one of the two expos here won’t let me vend because they already have a wholesaler with their poorly bred babies vending and don’t want them to have to compete with me. I’ve lost numerous sales because I can no longer transport babies to other parts of the state and people don’t want to pay the transporter costs. This has added to the strain.

I have listed some retiree male hedgehogs. I’ll be listing some retiree females after the holidays. I’m also currently running a sale on everything listed on my website, so be sure to go there and check it out. Sale prices cannot be combined with any other discount.

I have some mice and hedgehogs that can go on this route. I’m in KY so anything after KY can get an animal from me. Cross country routes are rare, so don’t miss out! PM for more info.

Have you been wanting a pedigreed hedgehog or Syrian hamster from me, but you live out west and transport never goes that way? Here is a November route that provides an EXTREMELY rare opportunity to get one of my babies brought to you, and she only charges 6️⃣0️⃣!!!

Please keep in mind, I will not send a hedgehog to a state, such as CA or GA, that they’re illegal in. Also, any hedgehog leaving KY will need an interstate health certificate that’s 7️⃣5️⃣. Note: For the health certificate purposes, I will need a picture of your Drivers License or another photo ID with your address on it.

Please PM with any questions.

When people talk smack about “Only Backyard Breeders don’t want you coming to their house”… Nope! This is one of the reasons why. Doesn’t make me a BYB. Just means I value my family and my animals more than your opinion.

Paul Peavey, 57, was reported missing last Wednesday. His body was found Saturday morning by a group of concerned neighbors and friends in the 1000 block of Two Brothers Road near Idaho Springs.12 of his puppies were stolen along with anything of value.
Peavey was a long-time Idaho Springs resident and show breeder of Doberman dogs who also trained them for Therapy work. Everyone says he was a kind person who always had a smile on his face and loved his dogs dearly.

Listen this is why we breeders don't have visitors inside our homes anymore.
And why we have cameras and security all over, and most of us simply meet at the police station for our family's and dogs safety.

Such a tragic loss. This is so heartbreaking.

There is a suspect in custody already!
