Hedgie Haven Rescues...

Hedgie Haven started out as a Rescue for neglected Hedgehogs. From time to time, hedgehog owners find that they are no longer able to care for their hedgehogs. Regardless of what the situation is, whether they just don't have any time for their animal, or can't afford it, or are moving and can't take them with them. Please don't just leave them behind to fend on their own, Hedgie Haven does take in rescues. However, we can not give financial restitution to the owner, we can however offer that we will take your animal in, provide it with the medical attention arises, and properly care for that animal. If and when that animal is completely fit, we may try to find a suitable pet only home for that hedgehog. If for some reason that the hedgehog can not be placed in a pet only home, Hedgie Haven will care for that hedgehog on a permanent basis.

I do have a question fact sheet for anyone that needs to place their hedgehog in rescue. This is to insure that your hedgehog will get the care that it needs.

Lieal was a special needs hedgehog

7 1/2 years old, he had no teeth so he was on a speical diet. )

This will help with vet bills, supplies, medications, special foods, and adoption fees that many need to be paid in order to rescue a hedgehog.

Supporter are listed on the Hedgie Links page.

HI my name was Spunky. My owner needed to find me a loving home with folks that knew something about the care of hedgehogs like me. Now I was a little scared so I did one of those "Screams of Death" in 7 years my new care giver had never heard such a sound. She said that I would never have to be afraid here at the Haven. Since being here I have not been very "Spunky" like so the folks here gave me a new name "Spanky". I like the new name ,kinda goes with my new adventure in life.

My new owner Kelsey is showing me at the Cass County 4H fair this year. Her title this year is "Domestication" since hedgehogs are not a domesticated animal as of yet. Me being a rescue and of a different color than the first hedgehogs brought to the USA. Teaches the folks just how domesticated a hedgehog can be with lots of love and attention. I am so excited to represent hedgehogs in this learning event. I got a blue ribbon!

Peanut came to us from a pet shop. His mother was mated with her brother and was kept in a 10 gallon fish tank . Peanut had WHS! He also had a lump on his back that was cancer that the vet could not remove. We hope his final days with us made his life a happy one.

Peanut pass away peacefully on March 19th,2007.

So as you are looking at Hedgie Havens Herd below ask yourself some questions...

Is this pet for me? Can I give a hedgehog a permanent home? Do I have the funds to care for my new pet if it should get sick? Do I have a home planned out should I not be able to care for my hedgehog?
