When you purchase one of our animals, you are agreeing to the policies listed below. If you have any questions please ensure to speak with us PRIOR to leaving your deposit. You must be 18 years or over to purchase one of our animals.
*** We do NOT hold any animal without a paid deposit. All deposits paid are non refundable and are used towards the purchase price of the animal.***
Mini Pigs - Our mini pigs are all spayed and neutered prior to leaving our care. We do not sell breeding stock! Our piglets are spayed and neutered, microchipped and vet checked by our licensed veterinarian at 7 weeks old. We offer a one year health guarantee with each of our piglets (from date of purchase). Our health guarantee is explained in length in our Piglet Contract (signed by purchaser before piglet leaves our care). Our piglets will be ready to go to their new homes when they are 8 weeks old. If at any time we feel the piglet is not ready to leave our care, we will notify the purchaser as soon as we have made the decision to hold onto the piglet for a longer amount of time.
We do not guarantee mature size of the piglets, as this is impossible to guarantee. A good size expectation is around knee height and the length and width of a bulldog, 60+ pounds. Pigs under 60 pounds do NOT exist! We do not guarantee colours within our piglets. Through genetics, the shading/colours of mini pigs often change. Our piglets are each $1300.00 (unless otherwise posted). We require a $500.00 non-refundable deposit to reserve the piglet of your choice. Once a piglet has been reserved, your deposit reserves the chosen piglet and can not be used for another piglet if you change your mind and want a different piglet. If you would like to get on our piglet waiting list we require a $100.00 non-refundable deposit (used towards the purchase price of your piglet).
Hedgehogs - All of our hedgehogs in our breeding program have extensive tracked lineage. We chose the hedgehogs in our program very carefully and ONLY come from the best breeders, in Canada and the USA. No hedgehog will leave our care prior to 8 weeks old and must be at least 200 grams. We have the right to hold back a hedgehog we feel is not ready to go to their new home. We will inform the purchaser as soon as we have made the decision to hold onto the hedgehog for a longer time. We offer a lifetime guarantee against WHS with all of our hedgehog babies. We also offer a 5 day health guarantee (from time the hedgehog leaves our care). If your hedgehog passes way within the 5 day guarantee, a necropsy must be preformed by a licensed veterinarian (at cost to the purchaser). If the results of the necropsy shows the hedgehog passed away due to a genetic health related issue (confirmed by veterinarian) we will REPLACE the hedgehog (of equal value) as soon as one becomes available. We do NOT replace a hedgehog if necropsy shows the hedgehog passed due to negligence (improper diet, care, environment, hibernation). We do NOT give monetary refunds under any circumstances.
Once we have received your non refundable deposit (50% of the total cost of the hedgehog) we will reserve the chosen hedgehog for you. Once a hedgehog has been reserved, your deposit reserves the chosen hedgehog and can not be used for another hedgehog if you change your mind and want a different hedgehog.
We do not offer pedigrees with our hedgehogs unless selling to an ethical breeder we have a working relationship with.
We do not guarantee colours of our hedgehogs at full maturity. Note that the colouring may fade/alter as the hedgehog ages.
