Available Adults
We occasionally have adult hedgehogs for sale that have been retired from our breeding program. An adult hedgehog can be a great choice if you're not set on getting a baby. Adults have already gone through the grumpiness that babies experience while quilling. They're already socialized and are set in their personalities, so you know what you're getting. This makes them an especially good option for a child or a first-time owner.
Our retired breeders are not "old" by any means, and they still have full lives ahead of them. Adults that were born here at Volcano View Hedgehogs come with the same guarantees as the babies we sell, including a lifetime warranty against WHS. Adults that were born elsewhere come with the guarantees that were provided by the original breeder (details available upon request). Retired females do not come with a pedigree.

We are also involved in rescue and rehome efforts in our area, and we sometimes have hedgehogs available that have come to us from these situations. The age, health, and temperament of these individuals can vary based on their background, and therefore the adoption fee varies as well. Rehomes and rescue hedgehogs are guaranteed to be healthy when they leave our home. They are not covered by any other guarantees (unless otherwise stated) and do not come with a pedigree. All rescues and rehomes must be returned to us if at any point you cannot keep them.
"Rehome" hedgehogs are those that come from good conditions and simply could not be kept by their previous owners for various reasons. These hedgehogs typically are healthy, well socialized, and do not have any special requirements. They can be great for first-time owners or anyone on a budget.
"Rescue" hedgehogs are those that come from poor conditions. They have experienced hardships such as inadequate care, unsanitary enclosures, neglect, abuse, or lack of necessary medical treatment. We do our absolute best to rehabilitate these individuals, which includes providing vet care and working on socialization. Rescues can make great pets, but they can require some extra work and patience. In most cases we will only place rescue hedgehogs with people who have prior hedgehog experience.

Waldo $175 Waldo is a very chill dude, and quite a looker with those stripes! He came back to us when his prior owner's situation regrettably changed, and with his charming demeanor we don't expect him to be waiting very long for a perfect new family. He has a goofy personality that would be a great fit for a first-time ownet. (113-M2; DOB 10/23/15) Waldo was born at VVH. Adoption fee includes a bucket wheel and 1lb of food. Reserved (Emma B.) |

Nero $175 Nero is a perfect little gentleman who has made exceptional contributions to our breeding program, and is now ready to be spoiled in a pet home. He's getting to be a little older but is in good health. Because he is very special to us, we are going to be very choosy about where he goes - we're looking for someone who is willing to keep in touch (or is active in the "Hedgehogs Anonymous" Facebook group), and who is committed to doting on him throughout his senior years. (DOB 10/2/13) Nero was born at VVH. Adoption fee includes a bucket wheel and 1lb of food. Available for adoption! |

Sphinx $175 Sphinx is a lovely "redhead" girl. She has a bit of a reserved personality initially but quickly warms up with consistent handling, and has the potential to be a great lap companion for the right person. Because she's prone to being scrawny, she'll have to remain on our high fat food mix to ensure that she thrives in a new home. (108-F2; DOB 9/2/15) Sphinx was born at VVH. Adoption fee includes a bucket wheel and 1lb of food. Reserved (Karen K.) |

Serqet $150
Serqet is a unique little lady, and not just because of her gorgeous split face. Due to an accidental injury when she was a very young baby, one of her front feet is "backward"; as a result she's adorably gimpy but otherwise in great health. She has always been petite and will be required to stay on our high fat food mix. She can be a little testy, especially in new situations, but blossoms with focused attention and assertive handling. She would be a great companion for someone with prior hedgehog experience. (112-F1; DOB 10/23/15) Serqet was born at VVH. Adoption fee includes a bucket wheel and 1lb of food. Reserved (Beth L.) |

Dementia $175 Dementia is a gorgeous reverse pinto who loves to cuddle - though it has to be on her own terms. She's a lover with a bit of sass, who originally came to us from Storybook Hedgehogs. She has the right temperament to tolerate handling by just about anyone, at least for a little while, but would do best with a teen or adult as her primary caretaker. (DOB 7/3/15) Adoption fee includes a bucket wheel and 1lb of food. Available for adoption! |

Conundrum $200 Conundrum is exceptional in every way, and one of only a few hedgehogs we have produced with heterochromia (one black eye, one dark ruby). Although she ended up not doing well as a mother, we're particularly attached to this sweetheart and in no hurry to let her go. We're hoping to place her with someone who is willing to keep in touch, preferably through the Hedgehogs Anonymous group on Facebook. (104-F2; DOB 7/2/15) Conundrum was born at VVH. Adoption fee includes a bucket wheel and 1lb of food. Available for adoption! |

Cal $175 (113-F1; DOB 10/23/15) Cal was born at VVH. Adoption fee includes a bucket wheel and 1lb of food. Available for adoption! |

Hobbes $175 Hobbes is a lovely dark girl with a mild independent streak. She can be a bit elusive, and is a firm believer in "if I can't see you, you can't see me". She can put on a spunky front; while it doesn't last long, she would be best suited for someone who isn't bothered by her occasional attitude. (110-F1; DOB 9/18/15) Hobbes was born at VVH. Adoption fee includes a bucket wheel and 1lb of food. Available for adoption! |
