sale policy

We do not sell to pet stores.

We do not sell to wholesalers.

We will not sell opposite sex pairs to the same household. If you are looking to get more than one baby, females are recommended as they are more likely to get along and can be housed together if they are from the same litter.

We will not sell hedgehogs where it is illegal to own one. Please check the by-laws of your municipality.

Adopters must be 18 years of age or older and will need to fill out an application before final approval. Minors under 18 must have their parent or legal guardian fill out the application form.

health policy

We guarantee that all hedgehogs sold by us are free from any known illnesses or defects, unless otherwise disclosed.

All buyers are expected to have their new hedgehog examined by a licensed veterinarian with hedgehog experience, within 5 business days from the date of pickup. Failing to do so will nullify our health guarantee.

Feeding hedgehog-specific food will nullify our health guarantee, this includes brands such as Mazuri, Sunseed Vita Prima, Exotic Nutrition, Wild Harvest, Vitakraft, etc. The ONLY hedgehog-specific food that we recommend and that is excluded from this list is Hedgehog Precision.

We have a 6 month guarantee on all our hedgehogs:

• If your hedgehog dies within 6 months of birth due to a congenital defect or a hereditary disease, we will offer a replacement at no charge

• A necropsy report from a licensed veterinarian with hedgehog experience, stating that the hedgehog had a congenital/hereditary issue, must be provided

We have a lifetime guarantee against Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome (WHS) on all our hedgehogs:

• In the rare event your hedgehog develops WHS, we will offer a replacement at no charge

• WHS can only be diagnosed post-mortem. It requires tissue from the spinal cord and brain to be sent in for testing

• A necropsy report from a licensed veterinarian with hedgehog and WHS experience, confirming that the hedgehog had WHS, must be provided

Death caused by, including but not limited to, negligence, improper care, improper nutrition, accidental injury, treatable diseases/illnesses, will void all health guarantees.

return policy

All hedgehogs purchased from Spiky Potatoes are welcome back at any time. No judgement!!

If for any reason you do not want to keep your hedgehog, please contact us and we will gladly take them back at any time! We do not want our animals to end up in the wrong hands.
