Welcome to Terrapin Hedgehogs

View our babies available here!

Click on link above for more details.Updated 8/29! A filled out questionnaire (see link above!) is required before being placed on the waitlist, and before placing a deposit.

With these babies you can be sure you’re getting a healthy, well socialized pet worth waiting for!

Please read this ENTIRE post for pricing, availability and other important information, before contacting us to make an appointment.

A non-refundable $75 deposit will hold the baby until he/she is weaned and ready to go home with you. The deposit is applied to the balance, so, for example, a $200 hedgehog would be reserved at $75, and have the remainder of $125 due at pick up. Deposits CANNOT be made without filling out a questionnaire and specifying a specific baby.

Stasi will contact you upon receipt of the questionnaire, typically within 24 hours. At that time she can answer any questions, set up an appointment if desired, and update you on the babies. *If* you have not heard back within 24 hours, feel free to contact us either by email or phone at 410-322-3650.

Hedgehogs are wonderful animals, and can be terrific pets, but are not for everyone. If after doing some research you feel that a hedgehog is right for you, please fill out a new owner questionnaire, and we will try to match you with the right hedgehog. Feel free to contact us with any questions.

If you are unsure a hedgehog is the right pet for you, we do offer introductory days where you can come visit and learn about them. Again, the questionnaire is required.

I will not sell hedgehogs to people in illegal states – those include AZ, CA, GA, HI, PA, VT. Please do not ask for an exception, and contact your Fish and Wildlife for more information.

Pricing – ‘Standard’*males are $190 and females are $200 – Standard coloration includes cinnacot, brown, chocolate – both the white belly and Algerian colors.

Grays, DARK grays, blacks, whites and Uber pintos (Uber is defined as more than 50% pinto) are typically more expensive, and will be marked as such up front.
Cash or money order is expected at pick-up, I cannot accept personal checks except for deposits.

Lineage is provided with all babies including parents’ names and birth dates, hedgehog sleep sack and toy, two-week starter supply of food, and an information packet.

Our hedgehogs are in high demand so, if you are interested, contact us now. To expedite the process be sure to fill out our questionnaire and include your name, address, telephone number, and a valid email address.

We are able to ship to major airports. Shipping costs vary, depending on the destination, but typically are an additional $220-$350. This charge includes a health certificate, kennel and airline charges. Please contact for more information. We will not export hedgehogs out of the US.

We don’t advocate giving a live animal as a surprise gift so we request that the primary caretaker or recipient be present when the hedgehog is picked up to receive a lesson on proper care and handling. We believe that children can make great hedgehog owners as long as a parent is actively involved. If your child is asking for a hedgehog please call us and we will be glad to discuss care requirements with you to help you decide if a hedgehog will fit into your family. We want to make sure your decision is in the best interest of both your family and the hedgehog and we would be more than glad to schedule a visit so that you and your family can interact with and learn about hedgehogs.
