Please read the following Deposit agreement and Information below BEFORE you make your deposit...
To hold a Hoglet you must make a deposit. This deposit is NON-REFUNDABLE should you cancel. Your remaining balance is due in cash or postal money order at time of pick up. Hoglet selection by the deposit holders is held at 5 weeks of age (unless you are making a deposit on a specific Hoglet from the Nursery). Detailed pics, color, pattern, gender, pricing info and your pickup date will be emailed to each deposit holder. Selections will be made in order of deposits paid and final selections are due within 2 days. If we do not recieve your final selection after a reminder email, we will move onto the next deposit holder in line and your deposit will be forfeited. Hoglets are ready for their new homes at 6-8 weeks of age or once they are fully weaned from their mother. Pickups dates are Saturdays between 2 & 4pm. Should you be unable to make the pickup date, we will hold your Hoglet for one week. All other arrangements must be agreed upon in writing by or BEFORE the final selection date at hedgehogranch@yahoo.com.
