Breeding Schedule
This is our breeding schedule for the upcoming year. This schedule may be adjusted as necessary due to failed breedings, new breeding animals, etc. If you are interested in a specific pairing that is listed below, be sure to let us know when you send in the reservation form.
The health and happiness of our breeding animals is our top priority, and this is what dictates our breeding practices. Please feel free to contact us at volcanoviewhedgehogs@gmail.com with any questions or concerns about our breeding practices or our planned breeding pairs.
Our females are not bred until 6 months of age (or older if they have not yet attained their adult size by that time) and our males are first bred at around 4 months of age. Our females are retired at 2-3 years old (typically around 2.5 years), or earlier if there is any indication that they are not coping well with the demands of pregnancy and motherhood.
Females are bred approximately twice per year. We will delay a planned breeding if we believe the female needs a longer rest period following a prior litter.
Note: The month indicated is the month that the breeding is scheduled to take place. Gestation is 5 weeks, and babies are ready to go at 6-7 weeks, therefore babies from specific pairings will be available 11-12 weeks after breeding occurs.
* = male on loan
** = female's last litter
