I have some bad news. I have been delaying this for quite some time as I don’t really know how to let you guys know about it. But I’m basically shutting down HedgehogVille.

As you guys know … I went back home for a vacation since Jan 10, 2024 and just arrived back on May 1. The purpose of my visit was to do a lot of health checkups because it takes forever to see a few specialists here. Although I had already had a hunch of what I have .. it was still more comforting to hear it directly from a professional.

I was diagnosed with early stages of Parkinson which can happen as early as 40 years old due to genetics and would need further treatment here to slow the disease progression as much as possible. And because of this … in as much as I want to continue what I love to do… I have to put my health first as a priority.

Half of my life was put into hedgehogville and to think of shutting it down is really hard to accept for me. But I have to do what I have to do to slow the disease’s progression down. 💜

All / majority of my herd will be posted in the next few weeks as I get their latest photos updated on the website.

After finishing my move on Monday sept 11 to Newmarket.. the pet show just happened to be on the same weekend so we were all burnt out but at the same time got a sugar rush when the show started.

Everyone had tons of fun 🤩. The hedgehogs / tenrecs adapted really well and was performing in public. See you next time !!!

These 3 sisters are just the most adorable boarders around whose staying with us till May 1st!

I have something to ANNOUNCE!

This may come as a Good News or Bad News for people but I want to tell you now in advance so you guys can start making plans as well.

WE ARE MOVING to NEWMARKET! I'll be beside the 404. Moving is around July to August 2023 (Tentative)

After getting my right pinky misdiagnosed and burned by a Doctor last June 2022... it has been very hard for me to maintain my business and just kind of given me a wake up call. Till now.. my finger is not even in perfect condition yet and still don't have a fingerprint lol.

Recently I have been getting some other health issues as well and my body can't keep up with all the work that needs to be done with maintaining the hedgehogs.

After thinking about this for a long while... I have decided to let go at least half of my African Pygmy Hedgehogs as they are the one that takes 90% of my time in terms of maintenance.

In the next few months.. I will start taking photos and posting them on social media and website.

BOARDING: Boarding will ALWAYS still be welcome and open. You may just need to plan ahead when to bring them over. Due to the move, I will be changing my TIME from Opening and Closing to accomodate the 404 traffic that you may encounter on the way to me.

ONLINE PURCHASES: For those who usually come for pickup on the same day... well you probably need to plan for weekend pickups or use shipping instead. I highly recommend to buy in BULK so you save on shipping as well.

Well that's it for now and if there's any new changes... I will keep you guys posted :)
