Once your deposit is received we will be in contact with you to confirm your preferences.... Gender, quill colors, facial markings, etc... If you have a picture of your "ideal" hedgehog please send it along to us. ( Be aware that pictures of adults are very different than babies and while we try to match you to the picture you send sometimes we can only get close) We will do our very best to match you with the perfect bundle of quills! Keep in mind that the more specific you are in your request, the more time it may take - We do not breed for specific colors or facial markings, we breed for health and temperament. While we wait... start making decisions of what type of habitat you would like to use for your quillie buddy. Check the Blog section here for more information on nutrition, heating, housing options and more... And always remember to check with us if you have ANY questions, We are here to help you make the perfect home for your little one!
IT'S FINALLY TIME: when your baby is ready to go home you will receive an email from us with all the necessary paperwork, policies for pick up and a picture.... THIS IS IMPORTANT: IF YOU DO NOT RESPOND TO THE EMAIL OR TEXT MESSAGE WITHIN 3 DAYS YOU WILL FORFEIT YOUR BABY AND YOUR DEPOSIT! Hedgehog babies have a greater success for easier transition to their new home between the ages of 7 - 10 weeks. IF YOU DID NOT SEE YOUR EMAIL OR TEXT.... AND CONTACT US AFTER THE 3 DAY NOTIFICATION PERIOD YOU WILL HAVE TO GO TO THE BACK OF THE LINE.... sorry, but others have been patiently waiting their turn as well.

Eriza x Hammy Litter of 2 Born 5/29/2025
AVAILABLE TO WAIT LIST: Female Light Brown Pinto $250 (photo as of 8/19)
This is Eriza's first litter. Stunning in color - her original reservation ghosted her. Since that time she is going through major quillings and her disposition is not as great as it was, she is a bit cranky and lets you know it huffing and popping. She does settle down but it takes her a minute. I'd like to see her go to a family with older children or to an adult owner

Esther X Magnus Litter of 3 Born 6/11/2025
RESERVED: Female Grey Deep Badger Andre J.
Esther is a wonderful mom and Magnus is from one of my best breeding boys. Three girls in this litter all very friendly and curious. They will do well in any family.

Espinete x toast litter of 4 born 6/12/2025
RESERVED: Male Dark Brown Deep Badger Alyssa F.
Espinete is a protective mom, as such her babies can be a little more shy . Working with them daily to gain their trust and they are coming along wonderfully. Might need a bit more love and attention in their quillever homes. Certain they will be great companion pets.

Thistle x Isaac litter of 3 born 7/1/2025
RESERVED: Male Reverse Pinto High White Odd Eyed
This little boy will be staying here at Morning Star Hedgehogs.
Between his temperament and his beautiful facials (he is a heterochromia - an odd eye) I can't wait to see what his offspring will look like.
AVAILABLE TO WAITLIST: Female Black Badger Stripe $275
How strange the colors in this litter two blacks and once reverse pinto high white. The girls are both easily handled and have experienced one quilling while socializing. They both were a little more reserved than their brother but both have settled nicely (quilling is a painful experience) They should do well in any family environment
