Policies

All babies born at Beach Bum Hedgehogs will come with a 6 month health guarantee. Our guarantee covers medical and physical defects, unless the illness is caused by neglect.

All of our babies also come with a lifetime guarantee against Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome (WHS). If your baby should develop WHS, they will be replaced at no charge with a new baby (except shipping charges). I will require a copy of a necropsy report showing positive WHS from a licensed veterinarian of my choice prior to replacing the baby.

Return Policy

If you should decide that a hedgehog is not the right pet for you, following is our refund policy.

1 - 14 days - 50% refund
15 - 30 days - 25% refund

If you wish to return your hedgehog anytime after 31 days, we do not offer a refund. However, we will take the hedgehog back as a rescue.

Shipping Policy

We do ship our hedgehogs on occasion. We generally ship through Continental Airlines. Costs for shipping alone are normally around $210. This includes the cost of the flight, your crate, supplies for the baby hedgehog to fly, and also includes the cost of transporting the baby to the airport. Please note that the price of the baby is in addition to the shipping cost. We generally ship out of Tampa International Airport or Ft. Myers Airports. We only ship to states where it is legal to own hedgehogs. I usually only ship once every 4 to 6 weeks.

Deposit Policy

We require a $50 deposit to reserve or hold a baby for you. The deposit is
non-refundable, but can be used towards a different baby if your circumstances change or you would prefer a different litter.

If you are placing a deposit on a future litter, once we receive your deposit, we place you on the reservation list. At approximately 3 weeks of age we post the pictures of the babies on our website. Once they are posted we contact individuals to choose their baby in the order that the deposits were received. If you have your heart set on a certain color or sex that is not available, we are happy to apply your deposit towards the next litters due.
