This is just my opinion, nothing more, nothing less but this line blew it for them
"Minis
Our minis are priced from $275 - $350. We cannot predict the arrival of minis."
Now, I've only been in hedgehogs for about 15 years or so, but to the best of my knowledge, there isn't any such critter as a "mini" hedgehog. Some are very small, some are very large. Some are runts, some aren't. But charging extra for what is a natural occuring variation that could very well impact future health (runts can be more delicate than the "average" size hedgehog) smacks to me of opportunistic marketing and, IMHO, is unethical.
Just as there is no such thing as a mini Yorkie or a Mini Chihuahua (aka "teacup"), there isn't any such critter as a mini hedgehog.
I'd find someone else.
Oh, and I'm amazed that the HBA endorses someone who advertises that.
