Welcome to Palmetta Plantation where quality hedgies are our #1 goal! We are a small husband/wife team who breed quality hedgehogs to share with others. Due to our small operation size we are not required to be USDA licensed and it is this small size that allows us to be able to give special attention to each individual pet like they deserve. We are hobby breeders and breed for health, personality and pets only.

Please read over our site to find out how to be placed on one of our lists; either the reserve list or the waiting list. If you are interested in signing up to become a new parent of a baby hedgie, please write. We offer before and after sale help with information on your new hedgehog so both you and your new hedgie are comfortable and happy with one another!

A reserve fee of $50 by USPS post office money order (the only kind we accept), Venmo or PayPal is required to reserve a baby (and comes off the total amount for the baby) and the balance is due in cash upon pick-up. Our PayPal address is [email protected]. Babies, male and female, are $200-$300. If you need more information or have specific questions please contact me.

Due to a hedgehog not developing its true color until it is approximately five months old, (after the hedgie loses its baby quills and new quills grow back in), we can't guarantee the color of any of our hedgehog babies. We will, however, try to match you with the color and gender you are looking for but cannot guarantee color.

All babies include verbal instructions, our phone number and email address should you have any problems or questions once you get your baby home. We do not disappear once the baby leaves us and are available if you have problems or questions. Complete container set-ups are available if we are notified in advance of pick-up but payment is required for set-ups in advance. We will not release a hedgie to anyone without making sure they are educated in the proper care and maintenance of hedgehogs! If you expect us to take your money, give you our baby, and then run off on your merry way, that is NOT how adopting from us works. We require that all prospective adoptive parents completely and honestly fill out a questionnaire so we can get to know you and learn the extent of what you know regarding the care of hedgehogs. By doing this, it helps to relieve our minds that our babies are going to good homes and it helps to give us an idea where we may be able to help educate you in a hedgehog's care. We are attached to ALL our pets and this includes our hedgehog babies.

Hedgies are VERY appropriate if you have children in your home as long as your children are gentle and are included in the care and maintenance of your new pet.

Also, do your homework by making sure hedgehogs are legal in your state. We will not knowingly sell to anyone who lives in a state where it's illegal to own a hedgehog. Georgia, Maine, California, Arizona, Hawaii and Pennsylvania it is illegal to have them or if you can have them there are certain states that require you have paperwork.

Thank you for looking and we hope you will want to add one of our babies to your family! Hedgehogs make great pets as long as you pay attention to them.
