Well, I am starting to look for a sibling(although not another dog)for Pippit. I honestly don't know how he would do not being the only dog.

Tanya has been great in answering all my Hedgehog questions. So, I am looking into several Hedgehog rescue groups. Another possibility is a Chincilla(again looking at rescues)

I did find this great Hedgehog breeder~so..........I am just in the beginning stages. And don't know if it will happen or not. But, I wanted to all to know. Wish me luck!

I think hedgehogs are the absolute cutest things EVER, but Bailey has such a strong prey drive I don't dare bring even a cat into the house, much less something that small!

We want lots of pics when Pippit's new sibling joins the clan!

The best of luck with your search!! I take it you've verified that Pippit has a low prey drive......

We'd love to see pics of another doxie/hedgehog family!

He seems to have a low prey drive(except for squeeky toys) And he is so sweet with kittens or little puppies, too.

Good Luck in finding the perfect addition to your pack! Kelly, my two are the same way, their prey drive is so strong we can't have cats either.

I would love to get something differant but both Mitzi and Dudley wouldn't let me ever sleep again. I think little sugar gliders are super cute but then again HH are right up there on that cutness scale.

I just got off the phone with a breeder of hedgehogs. She is in New York(hmmmmm~could we possibly set up a transport from NY to Massachusetts??)

Anyway, she's expecting 2 litters in a few weeks. And 6 weeks later, I will have a new baby. I've checked her references(2 vets and a client)and feel very comfortable and also feel that her animals are healthy. The babies come with pedigre cert., health guarantee and lifetime support.

I am very close to putting down a deposit so I can choose one when the babies are born.

My question to all of you is~(I know it's a hedgehog and not a dog, but....)should I ask anything else???

Woohoo! No advice, only congratulations! Have you told Pippit all about his new brother/sister? :D

I would ask all the same questions you would ask a dog breeder. If she's the right breeder for you she won't mind taking the time to answer your questions. Congrats on your new addition, I can't wait to see pics!!!
