What can you feed a baby hedgehog?
You need to ask the breeder you got the hoglet from what they fed the hoglet prior to purchase. Once they tell you, you should feed them that brand of kibble until they adjust to their new environment. Give them as much as they want to eat at night; but monitor how much they eat so you can tell if there's a problem. Once you've given them a month or two to settle in, you can switch to a different food if you wish. However, make sure it's a great quality food (no by-products), and that it has around 30% protein and 15% or less fat.
Is there an animal shelter on Knoxville that sells hedgehogs?
Animal shelters typically never have hedgehogs, as they are unequipped to take care of exotic animals. If you are wanting to rescue a hedgehog, check the links below. However, if you are a first time owner, I HIGHLY suggest buying a baby (hoglet) from a breeder, as first time owners are not prepared nor ready in any way to deal with a rescued hedgehog. I know from personal experience!
Could a hedgehog cost 10?
No. Straight from the breeder, a properly bred, cared for, and socialized hoglet (baby) will cost $150 - $400 in the American market. Rehomed hedgehogs typically cost around $75 - $100, though they usually do not make as good of a pet without a lot of work, since the original owner has lost interest in them and stopped properly socializing them, or the hedgehog has already bonded to the original owner.
How old do hedgehogs get in the wild?
typically 6-8 weeks. unless the hoglet is weak or a sickling. it may vary. the sow or mother hedgehog abandons her pups around six weeks after birth. and the pups learn to live in the wild alone. hope that helped!

What store sells hedgehogs?
I have never encountered a large chain pet store that sells hedgehogs. However, if you have done your research, you would know you should never buy a hedgehog from a petstore. Why?Petstores buy hoglets from irresponsible and sub-par breeders.A good hedgie breeder would never sell to a pet store! This means that their hedgehogs are almost always poorly bred - which leads to very unhealthy hedgehogs, and very ill-tempered hedgehogs.Petstores are not a proper environment for a hedgehog.This is because hedgehogs are nocturnal, and since customers come during the day, this greatly disturbs hedgehogs. This disturbance causes lack of sleep and stress, which can make the hoglets very sick.Petstores rarely ever properly care for hedgehogs.They are typically housed together - very bad idea, since hedgehogs are solitary creatures and need their space (2.5 square feet per animal). Not only this, but this also causes some hoglets to be bullied away from food/water sources, or injured by the others. They rarely ever are given wheels or other enrichment, and if they are, there are not enough for all of them.They do not properly socialize the hedgehogs.Socialization is the biggest part of making hedgehogs great pets, and total lack of socialization or improper socialization ruin a hedgehogs chances of being a good pet. Socialization needs to occur every single day, and it's rarely ever given.Given the circumstances, it's best to buy from a reputable breeder and do you research before buying a hoglet.
