OUR STORY
How We Started
When I started keeping hedgehogs about 10 years ago, I did almost everything wrong. Access to straight forward and logical care information was limited, and so I purchased my first girl; Ivy from a pet store. She struggled with a fair amount of health & temperament issues, and unfortunately I lost her to a genetic, neurological disease called Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome (WHS). After seeing Ivy struggle so terribly, I started researching ethical breeders that had bred out Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome. It wasn't until I adopted my first well bred hedgehog & opened up a dialogue with his breeder that I truly understood the proper care that goes into a hedgehog, as well as how much nicer it is to have a predictable, and healthy companion. I now work closely with that breeder ( Marie, at Over the Hedge Moncton) and my partner and I are beginning our own lines. As the only ethical breeders in PEI we aim to educate new owners and set them up for success by providing them with the healthiest and calmest babies possible. We also aim to constantly educate ourselves and improve on our care as we learn. For any specific questions on us or our care please reach out on our Facebook page.
