QUESTION: do you know any stores or breeders that would sell me a hedgehod for a small price, or free?? my parents are very tight on money, but we cannot get one untill my guinea pig dies.. so if you can, please tell me!
Answer Well you could try to look at some rescues. There are small animal rescues everywhere. You could keep your eye out on various web sights such as www.kijiji.com or www.craigslist.com hedgehogs are sometimes sold on there for 25$ or sometimes free. Good luck
