This is an fully enclosed (top, bottom, sides) tank holding 4 adults that appear to be related. It has lavender scented bedding, a dirty water bowl, and a nursing mother with babies underneath her. The pictures are not good because they were taken with my phone camera. In a different but much larger tank with the top open they had a few young ones for sale. I saw this yesterday and went back today to speak to the store about it and offer them a care sheet.
I asked if they were boys or girls and was told both. I asked if they were concerned about selling pregnant females and they said they were too young to get pregnant. They are about 10 weeks old.
I asked if they were concerned about the breeder hedgehogs giving birth with adult males in there and they said no, they are all happy and we remove the mom and babies after they give birth.
I asked why they push selling 20 gallon fish tanks with corn cob litter and wood chew sticks when they have Ferret Nations and several guinea pig houses that were so much better for hedgehogs. The salesgirl looked nervous at this point and I had to get out of there. :evil:
It was very upsetting.
