ABOUT THE WAITING LIST (for customers prior to 11/1/01): When your hoglet is approximately two weeks
old, you will be sent an e-mail requiring you to send in a non-refundable
$20 deposit fee via check or money order to reserve your hoglet to weaning.
The deposit must be received by the date stated in the e-mail. At the time
of pickup, the $20 will be deducted from the final cost of the hedgehog.
The remainder due must be paid with cash or money order; Personal checks
will not be accepted. If you wish to hold a hoglet past 6 weeks of age
we require payment in full prior to purchase. If you fail to arrive at
an appointment to pickup a hedgehog without expressed notice, you will
forfeit the animal and deposit.
Signing yourself up on our waiting list
signifies that you will also contact us should you need to be removed.
We maintain a list of customers removed due to negligant behavior and permanently
prohibit business with them.
OUR POLICY:
The Happy Hedgehog prides itself on the
health and temperament of our babies and breeding stock. Our babies are
assumed to be in excellent health unless proven otherwise. A partial-refund
or exchange (subject to availability) is available if the hedgehog is returned
within 48 hours in the same condition sold. A full refund or exchange (subject
to availability) is available only if the hedgehog sold is returned within
one week due to health problems listed by a licensed veterinarian. The
purchaser assumes all costs involved. We feel a hedgehog is an investment
of time and comittment of love and money only trivializes the emotional
bond the animal has formed with its owner. After one week, all sales are final and no refund will
be obtained.
Should the owner become unable or unwilling
to care for the hedgehog they must immediately contact The Happy Hedgehog.
We will either accept the animal back or find another home for it. We cannot
offer any financial compensation for this service. The Happy Hedgehog offers no specific color
guarantees on hoglets under 12 weeks of age. We classify our babies into
standards, albinos, and cotty (Apricot, Cinnicot, etc.). If a hedgehog sold is to be bred the owner
MUST have proper state and federal credentials, including a USDA
license. This information must be given to The Happy Hedgehog prior to
sale. The Happy Hedgehog retains the right to void a sale in cases of suspected
irresponsible breedings. Your must find a vet that treats
exotics prior to bringing your hoglet home. If you live in the Austin area
we recommend Westgate Pet and
Bird Hospital.
