Welcome to Prickly Creek Exotics
What's so unique with the hedgehog's from
Prickly Creek? Our
hedgehog's are
the best you will find in Michigan! We don't buy pet store hedgehogs for breeding.
Quality far outweighs convenience. We go the
extra distance and the extra
expense
to ensure that we breed quality hedgehogs. Diseases like WHS and cancer
are a real threat to these prickly critters, we are selective about
lineage and the
hedgehogs we breed. If you want an animal that is healthy, congenitally free of
disease, socialized, and tame then you have come to
the right place. Trust us-
you get what you pay for,
if you want a cheap hedgehog, then you should shop
around. We only sell quality pets, not pet store quality.
Our experience has given us the knowledge you will find on this web site, the
information you find here is NOT a copy and paste from other web sites. This
is our personal experiences from owning and breeding hedgehogs! We guarantee
our babies, and everyone is satisfied when they buy from us.
Whether your
interest in hedgehogs is new, or you have previous experience, you
can be
assured that you have come to the right place. If you take home a baby
hedgehog, and you have questions, we will
help guide you and answer any questions
you have.
UPDATE:
We do have some adults available for adoption!

Payments accepted are: Cash, certified check, and money

5 top reasons why hedgehogs
are good pets!
1- Hedgehogs are quiet animals that don't require large cages,
they are good pets even for people who live in apartments.
2- Hedgehogs are solitary animals, they will never require the
companionship of another animal, they also tend to bond
to their owners better when they are the only hedgehog.
3- Hedgehogs, unlike many other exotic animals, do not have offensive
scent glands and do not have a bad odor, proper bedding can help
keep normal waste odors to a minimal as well. They do not have
dander and are usually good for people who have allergies.
4- Hedgehogs are easy to care for, they require exercise, which can
be easily obtained by having a running wheel in the cage.
Rarely do hedgehogs ever get sick, and they do not
require routine vet appointments as they do not need
vaccines like other common family pets.
5- Just like any other animal- hedgehogs all have their own
personalities, no two will ever be exactly alike. They are fun
and interesting pets, and will always gain interest from people
who have never encountered one before.
5 top reasons why hedgehogs might not make good pets!
1- Their quills are very prickly, and can
irritate sensitive skin.
Most small children (usually under 10 years of age) have a
hard time handling hedgehogs due to their prickly quills.
2- They are nocturnal, which means they are
most active during the
night hours in which most people are a sleep.
3- They are exotic pets and will require a
diet that might be a little
harder to accommodate compared to your common family pets.
4- Although hedgehogs are typically healthy
animals, there are
times when an owner might be faced with a problem that would
require the attention of a vet, usually the vet bills are much more
expensive for a hedgehog than the common family pet.
5- Usually the only time I hear complaints
that a hedgehog was not
the right pet for someone is when people bought on impulse or was
in a huge rush to buy a hedgehog, those families would run to
any pet store that was selling them. Usually those cases don't turn
out the greatest because they are not buying something that
is very friendly or tame. Not all hedgehogs are friendly, that is why
it is best to only buy from a breeder and meet the hedgehog you
intend to buy to ensure you know what your getting into.
