ADOPTION INFORMATION
At Hedgehog Ville, we are a licensed, small, and selective pedigreed breeder based in Newmarket, Ontario, serving Toronto, the GTA, and beyond.
Each hedgehog is raised with care, handled daily, and placed thoughtfully into loving homes. Because of this, availability is limited and we operate through a waitlist.
Pricing
Our hedgehogs typically range from $275 to $450, depending on their color, markings, and individual traits.
Some babies with unique features — such as facial pinto markings (split face, smudge), mismatched eyes or ears, tri-colors, or full masks — may be priced higher.
As they grow, their colors and markings continue to develop, so final pricing may be adjusted slightly once these traits become clear.
Please note: We cannot guarantee the final color of any hedgehog.
Deposit & Waitlist
To join our waitlist, we require a $50 non-refundable deposit, which goes toward the total cost of your hedgehog.
We accept:
- Email money transfer
- PayPal (3% – 7% fee applies) for Outside Canada
We kindly do not accept personal cheques or money orders.
Taxes
As a licensed business, we are required to charge 13% HST on all hedgehogs and supplies.
All prices listed are before tax.
Choosing Your Hedgehog
Once your application is approved and it’s your turn, we will reach out to you when babies are available.

Our Commitment & Policies
We care deeply about where our hedgehogs go, and our policies are in place to protect their well-being.
- We do not sell to pet stores or wholesalers
- We do not sell opposite sex pairs within the same household
- Breeding hedgehogs are only offered to established breeders we trust
For companionship, we often recommend two females, as they are more likely to bond well.
Preparing for Your Hedgehog
We want every hedgehog to go to a safe and well-prepared home.
We offer quality supplies designed for their comfort and safety.
If you choose to set up your own habitat, we may ask for photos before pickup to ensure everything is ready.
If any adjustments are needed, we’ll guide you through it — our goal is simply to give your hedgehog the best start possible.
Health Guarantee
We stand behind the health of every hedgehog we raise.
- A vet check is required within 5 days of pickup
- We offer a 6-month guarantee for congenital or hereditary conditions
- We also offer a lifetime guarantee for Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome (WHS)
In the rare event something happens, we will work with you to make things right, with proper veterinary documentation and necropsy.
Important Care Note
If your hedgehog develops mites, please ask your vet to use Revolution for Puppies.
The use of Ivermectin will void the health guarantee.
Returns & Support
If at any point you feel a hedgehog is no longer the right fit, please reach out to us.
We will always take our hedgehogs back — no questions asked — because their well-being matters most.
Refunds (if applicable):
- 7–14 days: 50% (minus deposit)
- 15–30 days: 25% (minus deposit)
- After 30 days: no refund
Please note: supplies and accessories are final sale.
Ownership Responsibility
When you bring a hedgehog home, you take on full responsibility for their care.
However, if your situation ever changes, the hedgehog must be returned to us rather than rehomed elsewhere. This ensures they always remain safe and properly cared for.
Pickup Guidelines
- Please bring a secure carrier (zip, snap, or lock)
- For colder weather, proper transportation must be arranged
For safety:
- Wired cages must be fully lined with 10 inches of corrugated plastic to avoid cliimbing issues
- Glass aquariums are not suitable due to poor airflow
