Hello everyone! I have seen some new followers to this page and I wanted to make a quick post to inform everyone that we are not breeding at the moment, and do not have plans to return for a few years at least. I will also say I no longer check the messages of this page, as I should.
During co-vid, I noticed extreme breeding and impulse buying. Because of that fact and an aging breeding stock I decided to stop breeding that year as I didn't want to contribute to a developing problem of unwanted hedgehogs. (Because as we all know, hedgehogs are not dogs and do not act like dogs.)
Since stopping, all of our older original breeders have passed from natural, age-related reasons.
The future: When we do begin breeding again you guys will be the first to know! The first posts will be an introduction to a single pair of well-pedigreed stock from other breeders in the community. I will not breed unfriendly stock as I believe it can contribute to personality if a meaner hog is raising the babies. We will only be keeping a single breeding pair when we begin again. This will mean litters will be limited to once a year and they can range in size; although our average litter size was five. This means Cactus Patch babies will be extremely limited!
Thank you all for your time and support! We hope to be back within the next five years. Until then, we hope you have luck searching for your perfect prickled friend ❤
