One thing definitely done right by this breeder is the hedgehog socializing. I got my girl at 6 months and she was incredibly friendly and easy to handle. What concerns me is some of the practices recommended - keeping multiple adult females together, a heat pad vs. a lamp, a dried insect diet, dusty clumping kitty litter. Wheels aren't even included in the "total set up". My biggest concern, however, is that my hedgehog had stomach issues her whole time with me that eventually ended in her needing to be put down at only about 1 year old with extreme gastrointestinal distress. While this may have just been a fluke, it seems like poor breeding to get such a disorder so young. I personally would recommend a licensed breeder that gives WHS and congenital health guarantees.
I got my hedgehog here 2 years ago. They were very kind and helped me understand how to take care of a hedgehog properly. They breed good hedgehogs! The one I bought was very friendly and cute!
Kristal is a pleasure to chat with, and extremely knowledgeable on everything hedgehogs. She has a wonderful little shop connected to her home, and really wants the best for each and every animal she has. I especially respect that she asks for photos and dimensions of your set up, and even offers set up packages herself if you’re unsure of everything you’ll need. Unfortunately many small animals are looked at as not needing much space, but that’s simply not true. Instead of only caring about the transaction (money) she truly cares about the hedgehogs future & care. This made her stand out to me, and I’ll continue to recommend Otsego Hedgehogs. We love our little peanut, Bowser. He’s the perfect addition to our family. Thank you so much, Kristal! 💚🦔
I brought a hedgehog and habitat from Otsego Hedgehogs last year and my little friend is thriving! They offer boarding for $5 per day and sell food that keeps him happy and healthy. Highly recommend if you're looking at adding a cute Hedgie to your family!
I adopted a hedgehog from here and she only lived to four years after developing arthritis in her spine. I tried reaching out to the owner back then to ask some questions but she never responded back to me. My daughter adopted a hedgehog from here and she is now four years old and developing wobbly hedgehog syndrome. The average life expectancy of an African pigmy hedgehog in captivity is 5-10 years and neither one of our sweet babies are going to even make it to 5 years. Very disappointed.
This breeder is very knowledgeable and has great information posted on her site. The kennels sold with the pets are a good starter but don't plan on them for long term. She also has a good amount of helpful additional items for sale and a private food blend, which is very useful and makes life easier for owners.
