Hi everyone! Some of you may know that one of our rescue owners is a now retired USDA Licensed & Pedigreed Breeder! Mariah here!

I offer lifetime support for all of my past babies, and one of my 2022 babies, Hannibal now known as Burrito was just surrendered today due to family life changes 🤍

His DOB is 05/13/2022 so he is about 4 years old! He looks so good for his age and was a sweet boy upon surrender and let me snap some cute pics of him 🥰

He will be with the rescue for a min of 2 weeks to ensure all health & habits are good! Once he is officially available for adoption, we will post along with more information on adoption fee & supplies included!

We currently have another male who is looking for his home, Simba! If you would like to message our page for more info 🤍

Simba is a handsome boy who is looking for his quillever home 🩵

Simba is a 2 year old male who was surrendered to us last month, after giving his skin some much needed TLC he is ready for his new home! He can be a bit spicy at times, but is a great boy for baths & nail trims 🥰

His adoption fee is only 5️⃣0️⃣
He does not come with any supplies, so proof of enclosure is required before he can go to his new home!

If you are interested in Simba, please send our page a message once you've completed an adoption application from our website!

Adoptions are on a first come first serve basis once approved, pick up for adoption day will be in Peoria, AZ! 🩵

*For the safety of our rescue partners and rescue hedgies, we do not allow meet & greets, but are more than happy to send photos and videos of a hedgehogs temperament!*

Hey everyone it’s been a hot minute since we’ve posted! We are still open and able to take in surrenders 🩵

Rescue has been a bit slower than previous years which is good! Because our team has been pretty busy with life as well.

But we are still able to take in a few fosters as needed. We currently only have 2 rescue stations at this time; one in Peoria, AZ and one in Surprise, AZ!

We are a west valley based rescue but can take in any hedgehog as long as you drop off at one of our rescue locations!

On the rare occasion we can sometimes meet on the east side, but only if we happen to have prior commitments out that way 🩵

We still at this time require the $50 surrender fee, this helps pay for any supplies or possible medical care your hedgie needs while at our rescue!

If you need to surrender please message our page and submit a form to our website, we are slow to respond to our email as it sometimes doesn’t notify us!

Picture of our most recent surrender, Simba, for attention! he is a 2 year old male who is currently being evaluated/quarantined before becoming available for adoption 🩵

Thank you for supporting our rescue! We wanted to give a little update on how things are going, when Simba is available for adoption we will make another post with all his info!

Please excuse how atrocious my garage looks! Currently deep cleaning the house and throwing a ton of stuff away!

We have a TON of supplies that are unfortunately not safe for the hedgies to use that were donated when hedgies were surrendered.

If anyone happens to know of any small animal rescues that could use any of the supplies let me know!

The purple kaytee wheel, Midwest habitat cage, and some of the hides are the only things possibly usable for hedgies that we could sell if interested!

Any proceeds would go to the rescue, but we’d love to help out another rescue if possible!!

Barred cages are just too small and unsafe for hedgies due to climbing, and the exotic nutrition wheels are a nail ripping hazard, and the large white cage is best suited for a hamster due to lack of airflow hedgies need to prevent URI’s

The black metal unit cage is unfortunately way too small compared to the critter nations!

First intake of 2026 🤍

Meet Sage! She is a 3 year old female 🫶🏻 she is a bit underweight and has some dry skin. She will be with us for a bit until she’s looking better 🤍

We got this adorable photo from Tonks’ new home 🤍 this is why we do what we do!

We are so thankful for our amazing adopters who take in our beloved rescues and give them the best lives possible!

Also wishing everyone a happy holidays! We may be slower to respond during this time as we are finishing up last minute shopping and spending time with family!

At the moment our rescue does not have any available rescues, we may see an influx of intakes after the new year, but no adoptable hedgies at this time 🫶🏻🤍

Also we just took in this cute little dude this morning! Name suggestion?

He got a nice little bath and nail trim, and cleaned up his ears!

He isn’t ready for adoption yet, and most likely already has a home lined up for him 🩵 but he will stay with us just to ensure all is well before going to his quillever home!

Thank you to everyone who donated to Tonks’ medical bills! This little piglet got all better and even regained full/normal mobility in her leg again!! Yay!

It’s shocking how much a URI can mess with the rest of their body 🩵

But Miss Tonks is going home today, and we are so excited for her! We just know she is going to be so spoiled 🫶🏻

🚨NEWEST MEDICAL INTAKE, HELP OUR RESCUE REPLENISH OUR EMERGENCY FUNDS 🚨

Meet Tonks! She is our newest foster intake, as the holidays approach our rescue has picked up and getting more and more surrender requests ❤️

Tonks came in on the evening of 11/18 and we had her immediately seen by our amazing exotic vets due to the immediate concern with her breathing and movement. *Photos & videos will be posted in comments of her condition*

This girl has been such a trooper! But she will have to be with us for at minimum 30 days, her current treatment is 2 weeks of two medications but it’s not guaranteed it fixes her issues.

We suspect she has a pretty bad upper respiratory infection along with possible trauma or neurological issues which are affecting her ability to use her back legs.

Course of action is to trial medications for 2 weeks and see if there are any signs of improvement, but if we do not see any progress we will need to get X-rays and try other routes.

Her initial appointment for exam and medications was $138.92 and the quote for future X-rays is $354.67 not including any other possible necessary treatments! Donations also help fund any food, bedding, supplements, etc while they are here!

While we have had funds this year due to rescue being slow, any further intakes or visits will wipe out our rescue fund 😔🩵

If you would like to support our rescue mission and help hedgies in need, please help by sharing this post! Any donations are greatly appreciated 🫶🏻

Trying to give Ursula some one on one time while I sit at my desk, this poor girl is so beyond shy it breaks my heart! She is still looking for that special home to take her in 🩵 as the holidays approach we are getting more intakes and losing space! I would love for her to go home before Christmas if possible so we can open up a cage spot at the rescue 🥹

Got notified that we recieved a 1 star review on our google business profile and was confused as we havent done any adoptions recently...when I checked the review I was even more confused as we DO NOT have a public phone number listed anywhere 😅 Somehow a 619 area code number was added to our business profile and the poor owner was getting spammed with calls and texts in regards to our rescue, 619 isnt even an AZ area code!

Phone number has been removed and we replied to the 1 star review 🥲 BUT PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DO NOT GIVE OUT OUR PERSONAL PHONE NUMBERS UNLESS WE CONTACT YOU DIRECTLY FROM A SURRENDER SUBMISSION!

If you need to contact our rescue please see our website, message our page here, or send us an email!

With the holidays upon us, we are getting a lot of inquiries and also picking up on surrenders, but please be sure to give us time to respond, as this is the start of a busy season 🤎
