We got our little guy from Granite State Hedgehogs at the end of June and he’s been an absolute joy! He is so laid back, adorable, fun and so cute. All our kids are just obsessed with him. I highly recommend Granite State Hedgehogs. The owner is so nice and knowledgeable. Hedgehogs are such great pets! Thank you for our sweetie!

We love our little sassy girl Princess (now called Princess Peach). We appreciated all of the information and support offered during pick-up. The shop is well stocked with every item you need. The process is easy but thorough so you leave feeling positive and confident. The owner is kind and knowledgeable. We are very happy with our experience and would find our next hedgehog here as well. Thank you again!!

We had an excellent experience buying our first hedgehog from Granite State Hedgehogs. Sam was very patient in answering our plethora of questions. His hedgehogs are so friendly, well socialized, and very healthy and well cared for. 100/10 could not have had a better experience! Thank you!

I recently purchased my very first hedgehog from Granite State Hedgehogs. Sam was extremely helpful from the moment I first messaged him inquiring about purchasing a baby hedgie from his store. He matched me with the most perfect boy! He was so very kind to let me come pick up my new baby by appointment during closed store hours due to my own work schedule. He took his time introducing me to Pumpkin and was very informative about all the things I needed to know to care for my new hedgehog. He carefully went over everything with me, and made sure I knew I could reach back out to him with any further questions. He raises very well socialized, happy and very healthy babies! Highly recommend Granite State Hedgehogs!! Thank you Sam for matching me with my sweet little boy!!! ~ Shannon M.

He answered all our questions and we could tell how passionate he was. I HIGHLY recommend anyone interested in getting a hedgehog to reach out to Sam!!

This bye far was the best experience I have ever had I called and they were closed so I chatted with Sam on the chat app he told me he was closed but would still meet me he did and was the best experience with. Buying a hedgehog ever he explained everything didn’t rush me and made sure I was ok with everything and was very polite and professional I would recommend this place to anyone

Sam is incredibly knowledgeable. We made an appointment to get to know Willow and fell in love with her.Every question we had, Sam was able to help us understand the ins and outs of hedgehogs. The store is perfect. It’s clean, and inviting. Sam ensured we felt 100% comfortable with Willow before she came home to join our family. He even answered questions we didn’t think to ask.Highly recommend Sam and Granite State Hedghogs for anyone looking for a new pet!

Awesome shop, so clean and well put together. The owner is delightful, it’s clear that he cares very much for these animals and is passionate about their wellbeing. My friend adopted his second hog from here and I was impressed by the attention to detail when it came time to review all the needs/requirements of owning a hedgehog.And, while he has a big bark, Blue is super friendly and was a big fan of butt scratches 😊

I absolutely loved the atmosphere here. My significant other and I drove 3 1/2 hours to get our hedgehog and we did not regret it. When going into the store it felt like the right place to be. When getting out hedgehog they made sure to inform us all about hedgehogs and what we have to do, they gave us a lot of information we weren’t aware of. In the future if we ever want to get another place this is definitely the place we would go to.

We had an elderly hedgehog who passed away. We went to Granite State Hedgehog to meet the available babies. Sam spent time bringing them out to us and answering our questions. We brought home our new hedgehog baby. He is well socialized and very curious. My boys also got adorable hedgehog tshirts made during our visit.

Granite state hedgehogs we had a great experience. The owner was very knowledgeable very pleasant to work with answering all our questions extremely patient with my daughter and her questions. Price was very reasonable. I would totally recommend this place if you are interested in getting a hedgehog . The owner does not just take your money and send you out the with your hedgehog . He also give you so much importance information about taking care of your precious baby once you get your baby home . The owner is just amazing with knowledge and advise .. We had a great conversation and my daughter took home much knowledge on the seriousness of taking care of this beautiful baby . Thank you Granite state hedgehogs 🥰🥰

5+ Stars....I would give Sam 10 Stars if I could! The 1.5 hour drive from MA was very worth it! Sam runs an amazing business. He is a breeder who you can tell REALLY cares about the hedgehogs. He is very knowledgeable and will help you with any questions that you have. The most important part of the adoption, He goes over "the book" with you. It was a very informative 20 minutes of most important hedgehog care tips....he even printed out an extra copy for me, which helped since I wasn't taking notes. Sam also has a great shop with anything from a wheel or hide, to the full ultimate care package for your hedgehog. The hedgehogs are also used to human contact thanks to his handling and care. It really helps when you want to bond with your hedgie! I would highly recommend Sam to anyone, and will be going back to get another one!P.S. I would have left a review sooner, but I've been spending time with my hedgie for the last week nonstop! Joker is the best! Thank you again!

Granite State Hedgehogs is outstanding! Everything from browsing the available hedgehogs online, to chatting with the owner Sam through the website, to picking up my little girl Lemon (aka "Molly"), was a 5-star experience. Sam posts photos of his available hedgehogs online, and I was able to reserve mine online with a small deposit. After making the deposit, I had several questions and Sam responded within minutes anytime I reached out through the website (even well after hours!) I went in to the store today to pick her up, and Sam made sure to walk me through everything I would need to know to make sure she has the best care possible. I was extremely impressed with how comfortable the hedgehogs were with Sam, he obviously puts significant time and care into raising them. Lemon was perfectly comfortable with him when I arrived, allowing him to rub her tummy, pet her head and ears, and just generally handle her with ease. The shop and in-store hedgehog habitats were clean and well kept, and everything in-store is 100% dedicated to hedgehogs. If you're looking into getting a hedgehog as a pet, this should be your one-and-only stop!

Sam is extremely knowledgeable, and will NOT let you leave with your newest addition until he knows you are fully prepared and ready for the commitment you are making. He took the time to go through EVERYTHING I needed to know, start to finish, and I left feeling confident that I was ready to take care of Spudz! Everything is by the books, all paperwork kept properly, very clean facility, and overall I am extremely happy with my experience. Definitely recommend 👍🏼

We picked up our first ever hedgehog today. Sam (the owner) is extremely knowledgeable and was happy to answer ALL of our questions. The atmosphere is welcoming and Sam took the time to match us with right hedgehog for us! And if you use the chat pop up on the website, you are talking to Sam directly (not a robot) :) The shop has everything you need (cage, food, bedding, complimentary toys when you buy the first time package deal) if you don’t already have the supplies you need. I highly recommend this place, they clearly take very good care of their hedgehogs.

Granite State was awesome, I have been thinking of purchasing a hedge hog for few years now. I was definitely going to use this sight from day one my initial chat questions were answered so quickly and I knew after my first phone conversation this was where I was going to purchase our newest family member. It was quite a drive but once we got there we were introduced to our newest family member Needles. We were talked through all we needed to know with so much one on one attention I would absolutely recommend this breeder rather than a big chain pet store.

My hedgehog is very well socialized and friendly. When I first met him, he was so curious, and when I put him down he got a little shy. Sam gave me tips on how to pick him up and bond with him. It was such a good experience. I’m a first time hedgehog owner, and found all the information and supplies that I need at this shop. Sam really cares about these little sweet animals, and you can tell he has a passion for hedgies. My hedgie was worth every penny.

I can’t say enough good things about Sam and Blue!!! Sam was so patient in explaining everything and making me feel comfortable. His love for these animals is obvious as is his talent with them. The shop is guided by national requirements for the breeding and care of hedgehogs. I trust Granite State and couldn’t be more grateful for our new friend Gus.

Firstly I want to say Thank you Sam for what you do! You are an amazing person and I hope your business continues to flourish and grow! I drove to pick up my baby in January and have been in love since. He was socialized and so comfortable first time holding and is still this way. A very happy little guy! Sam provides you with all of the information you need for your new hedgie including a baggie of food. He also responds very quickly to any questions or concerns you may have. Which is very appreciated! I am proud to say I purchased my baby from GSH, I plan on making this place my spot of choice from now on! Keep up the good work Sam!

We had a wonderful experience with Granite State Hedgehogs. I was in touch with the owner via the live chat within minutes, and we reserved our baby quickly. Went to pick up this morning and the place was clean and inviting. Sam made sure we knew all of the basics, was patient with our small children, and we brought our girl home. She settled right in for a nap after a few minutes of exploring and we are delighted with her!

If you are looking to get a little hedgie friend this is the place to go!Sam (owner) is very sincere, knowledgeable and friendly. We had a rough Christmas this year and Sam helped us salvage it the very next day. His availability on his website's live chat is outstanding and he will NOT leave you hanging. My experience from the beginning has been eye-opening and exciting. Do not go anywhere else for your hedgie friend unless you are a very familiar with hedgie care taking. This is the spot! 10/10 highly recommend.

Amazing experience at Granite State Hedgehogs with Sam! Friendly, knowledgeable, and has an absolute Love for hedgehogs!! Drove out from MA to pick up our new hedgie baby, Joey. What a sweetheart! Same goes for Sam’s dog Blue who was the sweetest boy ever. Sam has everything you need!! What was great was it’s not a pick up and go. Plan to spend at LEAST an hour talking, learning, and feeling well educated when you walk out the door! Sam has a passion for hedgehogs and it shows! A+ experience.…. We’re already so in love with our prickly prince. He’s learning our smell and handling is better each time. Sam is also there for any questions … ANY TIME through the website chat; immediate response every time - thanks for all you do! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you are looking for a hedgehog this is the place to go. Sam is very knowledgeable and takes great care of his hedgehogs. His store has everything you need and some really cute hedgehog merch too.

I recently adopted a little hedgehog, a sweet girl named Mochi who has been a joy and a treasure. I felt comfortable the whole way through the process of adopting her, and was made very welcome to ask any questions or advice.I can't recommend this place enough if you are looking into adopting a hedgehog. A stellar experience through and through.

I was questioning getting a hedgehog, but Sam is very knowledgeable, welcoming, and takes very good care of these babies. I left with no questions at all he sets everything up for new owners to leave with everything they need. And if they stumble upon caring for their hedgehoge he has a one on one live chat to answer any questions needed. Very respectable place, and also a place to find a new member of the family!

I've been waiting YEARS to make the trip from Mass to visit here. When the stars aligned and my boyfriend and I happened to be in NH, only 15 minutes down the road, we knew we had to stop in for a visit! We were welcomed by Sam and Blue; his handsome and friendly doggo. We spent the time chatting and handling his available hedgehogs. We fell in love and made the easy decision to take our sweet little boy Russell home with us. Before leaving with our new addition, he made sure to go over every step of caring for our hedgehog. He took the time to educate us and answered all of our questions. It was a very fun and personalized experience! We can't thank him enough for his time, knowledge, and hospitality. He is so dedicated to these animals and his business. He's beyond helpful and is truly JUST a text message away for any questions or concerns you might have. If you're thinking of adding a hedgehog to your family, this is the place to visit. The day was worth the wait!

Came from boston to get my new hedgie and Sam was great from start to finish. Very knowledgeable, and didn't let us leave without us being confident about taking him home and making sure all our questions were answered. He's passionate about what he does and is always available for any questions. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to own or learn more about hedgehogs. Can't forget to mention the cutest friendliest shop dog blue; such a good boy! Number 1 choice for hedgehogs wouldn't hesitate to come back.

I recently adopted Snuggles from this breeder. The owner is passionate about Hedgehogs and covers every aspect of caring for them. I’ve had hedgehogs in the past and still learned something new. She was sent home with a great informational packet to reference if needed. The store is very well put together, and overall had a great experience!

Highly recommend Granite State Hedgehogs! Sam was awesome and went over everything with us. He took his time answering all of our questions (even my 8 yr olds one “how can you tell if the worms are male?” When talking about mealworms 😆). The shop was clean and had everything we needed for our new family member. They also have a chat feature on the website that allows us to reach the owner any time we have a question.

I am very particular when it comes to getting a pet. I currently live in Boston and did my research about hedgehogs and places in the area. There are several places much closer to me but I chose to drive an hour and a half twice! (I have gotten two hedgehogs from them) because of the amount of love, professionalism, and standard Granite State Hedgehogs hold themselves to. Every interaction has been felt from the day I sent the first message to when reaching out over a year later. Thanks for the experience and the hedgehogs. Highly recommend. If you’re in the northeast and need a hedgehog this is the place.

Sam is a sweetheart and so very knowledgeable i didn't leave without all my questions answered. And even when I got home and called he always answered the phone and answered any question I had even if it was miniscule. And he is very patient.

My wife and I have always wanted to take care of some sort of small animal, and on a whim after a bit of research decided to make the drive from Williston, VT to Granite State Hedgehogs.We were utterly blown away by the owner's knowledge, approachability, and help in answering any questions we could think of. We adopted a baby and all the supplies we needed to take care of them.When a heat bulb blew late our first night, the owner was very helpful in providing advice to deal with the situation, alleviating a lot of panic. I don't think I can recommend Granite State Hedgehogs enough overall.

We brought our girl Sunshine (now named Paris Quillton) home this past Saturday. We travelled to Franklin from Essex, Vermont and it was WELL worth the drive. When we walked in, we were so happy to see the owner, Sam. Sam is so knowledgeable and so passionate about the hedgies! He made sure to take the time to educate us on our new baby, even with people pouring in the door behind us. You can clearly tell that these little guys mean a lot to him and that he spends a good amount of time learning each hedgehog.As for the hedgehog, she is wonderful! She doesn’t mind being held, her ears touched, her face and belly touched…. As a matter of fact she seems to love it! She’s as sweet as can be and adapting nicely to her new home!I would 1000% recommend this place to not only anyone that may be interested in bringing home a baby themselves, but to others that want to expand their knowledge about such cute little creatures. I own many exotic pets and have never had such a wonderful experience bringing any of them home. Thank you Sam and Blue for our awesome girl and the experience!

I picked up my first hedgie last week from Granite State Hedgehogs and could not be more impressed! She came with a month supply of food, and the owner gave such a helpful explanation on her care, and also gave me a packet to take home which has been super helpful. It’s clear that he’s not only knowledgeable, but incredibly passionate about his hedgies, and I would absolutely make the trip from Maine again! She’s been the perfect addition to our little family, and I was given all the confidence I needed to care for her properly ☺️

Very knowledgeable, patient and responsive. The shop is clean and well stocked. Securing a hedgehog was a seamless process and they truly care about their animals. The owner took the time to go over all paperwork, and intro to the hedgehog’s needs and answered all questions. Their hedgehogs are well cared for and friendly. Thank you so much for all of your help!

Granite State Hedgehogs is a great place to purchase a hedgehog from. I would definitely get another hedgehog from here in the future. The store has everything you need to raise a healthy friend.

I picked up a hedgehog from Sam for my daughter's birthday and could not have asked for a better experience. Sam was very knowledgeable and gave me great tips and teaching so that I can properly care for our hedgehog. The store was clean and I was provided with plenty of resources as well as a way to contact Sam with any further questions that should arise. I 100% recommend Granite State Hedgehogs!

I’m a first time hedgehog owner. I placed a deposit on my hedgie Arctic online, and went to go pick him up a week later. Sam the owner is so knowledgeable about these animals and are absolutely a passion of his. He is super nice and he went through all the things I need to know about them. Sam is also SUPER quick to respond to chats on the website. It was about 9pm one night and I thought there might have been something wrong with my sweet hedgie, and Sam responded almost immediately (there was nothing wrong with him). To me, that shows how much he truly cares for these animals and his business. My hedgie is super social and friendly because Sam takes the time to make them used to being handled. Thank you Sam, you’re awesome!!!

We just adopted our second hedgehog from Sam and the Granite State Hedgehog team. They raise happy, healthy, well-socialized hedgehogs, as well as provide tips and tricks for care and play before you take your new hedgehog home. They are always available via chat if you have any questions about your hedgehog after you take him/her home, and they sell all the toys/cages/extras you need at their store. They're extremely knowledgeable and I cannot recommend them enough to those who ask me "where do you even get a hedgehog from?!". Whether you're sure you want to bring a new hedgehog home or you want to learn more about if a hedgehog is the right fit for you, Sam and the Granite State Hedgehogs team are the place to go!

We got a hedgehog from Sam at Granite State Hedgehogs as a Christmas gift for my adult daughter. They are every bit as adorable in person as they are in pictures. We housed the baby for about a week so it could be a surprise on Christmas Day, and we fell in love. So we'll be seeing Sam for one of our own soon. I absolutely recommend Granite State Hedgehogs to anyone considering one of these wonderful little creatures. Sam is very, very knowledgeable about them, and a real pleasure to deal with as well. Thanks Sam!

I just brought home the most adorable hedgehog that I got from Granite State Hedgehogs. The owner Sam made sure I got the perfect Hedgehog for me! He also made sure I was comfortable with all of the care little Harry Pawter would need! I highly recommend Granite State Hedgehogs!!

Sam was great to work with! Super easy and smooth process to adopt. I ordered Scarlet online and drove down to pick her up. Sam let me hold her whole he put together the paperwork and then gave me all of the info needed to care for her! I was blown away by how friendly she was with me. You can tell Sam gives his hedgies lots of attention! When we got home, she instantly began eating and settled right in.

Got my baby hedgehog in September 2021. Made my deposit online and went to pick her up two weeks later. No hassle at all. The staff love the animals and know everything about their care and health. You can purchase a cage and travel case among other accessories in the store. You’ll be given a guarantee for accommodation in the case your hedgehog has a degenerative neurological disease.

We just got our new hedgehog baby from this store and had a wonderful experience! Sam, the owner and breeder was great to work with- very helpful and informative. Our hedgehog is so sweet and friendly, and that shows just how much Sam loves and cares for them from the day they’re born. We are now hedgehog obsessed and when we get another one someday it will definitely be from Granite State Hedgehogs!

I bought my little guy almost 5 years ago and they were the best 5 years of my life. Axel was my little buddy through college and he was a brave curious little spikey nugget until the very end. The owner is very kind and knowledgeable. And when I'm ready to welcome another hedgehog into my life I am definitely returning to Granite.

Wait what! Only 5 stars... I'd give 10 if I was able. Highly recommended. Well worth the 2 hour trip from Maine. I was super impressed with the process from start to finish.So for the short version.*Ample Parking*Clean, Well Organized, Shop*Knowledgeable & Friendly Owner*HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! WOULDN'T BUY ANYWHERE ELSENow continue reading for the complete review.The website was easy to follow, the chat feature was extremely helpful and Sam the owner, was super quick to reply. He answered all of our questions and concerns and with that, we placed our deposit. Also impressive is that after we placed our deposit, our chosen hedgie baby was removed from available babies.We arrived the next day. The drive to Franklin was great and Franklin itself was a cute little town worth exploring.The shop itself was easy to find and had ample parking along Franklin Street. We were able to park in front of the shop.The shop was amazing, it was very clean and well organized. You can find anything you need here for your hedges, they even have gifts and t-shirts for us heggie lovers. There are two open cages, one for the hedgies that have progressed past infancy and one where you are able to hold and start the bonding process with your new little love.Sam himself is welcoming, funny, and very very knowledgeable. You could immediately tell that he is proud of his shop and emanates love for all his animals.The process at the store was so carefree and enjoyable. We highly recommend that you pick up "The Ultimate Cage Setup". This has everything from A to Z to give your little love everything they need. It's a no brainer. ;). We were able to pick out every individual thing that came with the kit so it could be color coordinated if you want. There are also some upgrades that you can purchase for the Ultimate Ultimate package.So out comes are little Brooklyn, aka Miss Brooke. What a bundle of love. Sam explained everything in detail and even gave us some tips to help her get bonded to us. A little gentle rubbing on the top of their heads goes a long way.Once we spent about 1/2 hour bonding with her, we placed her in her carrier for the journey home. Sam started in with the adoption process. He was very easy going, knowledgeable, and gave plenty of opportunities for questions.We signed the paperwork and went over "The Book". lol. It was a document on an iPad that goes everything you need to know as a first time hedgie parent, full of tips and tricks, and important information. After this is completed, an exact copy of everything you signed and "The Book" are delivered to your email box.So I wouldn't miss anything in all my excitement I asked Sam if I may record the lesson and he welcomed it. Wanted to make sure that we were completely comfortable.So in closing. If you are thinking about becoming a hedgie parent, give Sam a call, better yet, visit his shop. Even if you're not ready to enter parenthood, you will meet a wonderful person, visit an amazing shop, find some great gifts for yourself, friends or family, and even get to see these wonderful little exotic loves in person.Here I am bonding with Miss Brooke.

Sam was funny and friendly. He was great with my kids too. He helped us pick out the best hedge hog for our family. We named our hedgehog Tonka, she’s extremely sweet and is a perfect fit for my 14 year old daughter. I would recommend granite state hedgehog to anyone looking for a friendly confident hedgehog. Thank you Sam and blue!

Wonderful experience with Sam. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. He answered my chats very quickly before my purchase. My hedgehog was handled from birth and very social already when I picked her up. She came home and settled in quickly. This store also has all the supplies you would need for your hedgehog. Worth the over 3 1/2 hour drive for sure. Wish this store was closer!

The owner is very kind, knowledgable, and funny. He helped me connect with my new little baby, Cupcake, and helped me get everything I need for her. I appreciate everything he did to help me get her all set up and make sure I had the knowledge I needed to make sure she lives her best life.Edit:She's bringing me so much joy. You wouldn't think such a little animal would have such a big personality. She loves to nestle into everything and cuddle but isn't afraid to yell at you if you try to interrupt her play time. <3

As a first time hedgehog owner I am so glad I went to Granite State Hedgehogs! Sam the owner is extremely friendly and ensured that I felt ready to take care of my little Skittles. He made sure I had everything I needed for supplies and knew how to properly take care of her. She’s absolutely wonderful and now that’s she’s gotten used to the new space she’s opened up so much! The store is very well kept and clean and I couldn’t be happier that I found it!

Sam was very kind, informative, and supportive. He answered all my questions over their online chat and was very flexible with the time I was available. Even going out of his way to respond while he was at the movies! He made time for me to pickup my new friend on his day off and walked me through care. The hedgehog is very friendly already, which shows his level of attention and love to these animals. If you're thinking about adopting a hedgehog, Granite state hedgehogs is the right place to get one! Sam will help you make sure you are comfortable and confident to take your new hedgehog home.

Our beautiful baby Matilda is super social and has been from the first time we picked her up. We had an easy and informative buying experience and the transition home was simple, having bought the home and supply kit fromSam also. Everyone that has met Tilly can not believe how social she is, never balling up and always exploring. We are so happy to have her in our family and highly recommend Sam and Granite State Hedgehogs. Also- the best part is once we got Tilly home and settled, Sam is still always available via chat to answer any questions that arise and he always answers quickly and knowledgeably. Thank you Sam and Granite State Hedgehogs.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Granite State Hedgehogs. There isn’t one thing that could have been done better. Sam was so friendly, informative and knowledgeable. He answered every question thoroughly and in a way that was easily understood. He was so accommodating to our needs and was happy to go out of his way to help us. You could see the love that he has for every single hedgehog by seeing him interact with them and also by the way that he talks about them. You can tell that hedgehogs are truly his passion and we would totally recommend visiting Sam if you’re interested in making a hedgehog a member of your family. Thanks so much Sam and we’ll be sure to visit next time we’re in the area!

I got my first hedgehog today. After years of wanting one I was finally able to get one and I am just in love! I wanted to stay local when looking for a place that sells hedgehogs and was really excited when I found Granite State Hedgehogs. The reviews are amazing and I just knew it would be the perfect place. From the website to the actual building everything was easy, friendly, and clean. Sam was very welcoming (and Blue), polite, and helpful. He allowed me to bond with the hedgehog I chose and see if he was a good fit, he is. When it came to the end of the transacting Sam gave me very helpful information on my new friend to keep him healthy and safe. He even has the resource of the online live chat for whenever anyone has questions and let me just say I am super thankful for it. As a new owner I’m gonna have a few questions at some point and it’s nice to have a trustworthy source like Sam. I will forever be thankful for the care and support I was provided and if anyone is looking for a hedgehog I would 100% recommend Granite State Hedgehogs!!!!! Thank you Sam!

Just go to Granite State Hedgehogs and live your best life!And when you get your HH, don't forget to purchase a cage! I cannot emphasize this enough: do not purchase your cage from a pet store! Purchase it from Granite State Hedgehogs! They hook you up with all the things a hedgehog needs in its new home!The best part, Sam was so patient in explaining ALL.THE.DETAILS in what it takes to make your hedgehog happy and healthy! Bonus, we had the best time patting Blue, the hedgehog protecting pup!As a first time hedgehog owning home, Granite State Hedgehogs has definitely set us up for success!

We stopped by on our way through this area wondering what it was all about. The man who owns it was so nice and knowledgeable. He allowed my kids and I to hold a hedgehog and even brought out a baby hedgehog to show us. I don't think we will be getting a hedge hog but if we ever did this would be the place to get one! The owner is obviously passionate and very kind to his customers, even the ones like us who are just curious and stopped by.

I received my beautiful baby Marlow from here just a week ago and I'm beyond happy with him. This place supplied me with everything I didn't yet have and gave me a detailed file of any care information I could possibly need. One of the owners also gave me his own tips and tricks on how to make care and bonding a lot easier. If I ever decide to adopt again it will absolutely be from here.

We picked up ‘Harley’ on New Year’s Day and we could not have kicked off the new year any better. ‘Harley’ is now ‘Ollie’ and we are just head over heels in love with the little guy. He is sweet, fun, and has a wonderful personality. As new hedgie parents we weren’t sure what to expect but ‘Ollie’ has made us hedgehog crazy (in a good way). I would definitely recommend Granite State Hedgehog if you are considering a hedgie. They were knowledgeable and answered all of our questions to ensure we were confident taking our lil’ guy home.

4 years ago I did a year of research before considering bringing a hedgehog into my life. I found Granite State Hedgehogs during that research and began using their chat asking questions before I purchased my first boy from them 🥰 sadly pets do not out live us and Niffler passed away. I told myself that I would not get another hedgehog until I fell in love with a baby hedgehog picture on Granite State Hedgehogs website, I saw "Chip" and immediately fell in love. Today I met with them and brought my new little boy home and he has won over my heart for sure. Sam was awesome and it is clear they care about their Hedgehogs and want the best for them. Thank you so much again for all your help

Popsicle, AKA Franklin (based on the town he was born in!) has been an amazing addition to the family. He's happy, healthy, and couldn't be more adorable. Sam was really great with the introduction. I felt like I knew what to expect after his lesson on ownership. The shop is clean, well lit, and well stocked. It is an awesome little place! Highly recommend!

This place was a pleasant for both children and adults if you want to see hedgehogs. What I want to make note, those little animals are sensitive, need to be carried with a lot of care. Otherwise, a very fun experience. I do plan on buying a set of them in the future. Thank for allowing of to carry those little guys.

I recently bought and picked up Olaf from them. They were incredibly patient and knowledgeable. They emailed everything I would need to know about him, which they also went over when I picked him up. I was coming from over an hour away and they stayed open for me when I was running late. Olaf came already socialized even though he was only 6 weeks which made the transition very smooth for him. He is such a sweet hedgehog and loves to be held and carried around. I will definitely do further business with them and have suggested others to check them out as well.

I got my baby three years ago in October. They are amazing people and today 10/5/21 at 10:15 pm, my baby passed. She was three years old and the most amazing hedgehog in the world. I want to thank Jay and his assistant for comforting me and that I recommend this amazing place for everyone! Thanks Jay for everything along with your amazing assistant! May Poco Rest In Peace!

I got my little Hedgie back in the mid of July, I was super nervous about picking up him up because I am a first time Hedgie mom but Sam did an amazing job answering every single question and made me feel super comfortable in regards to hedgehog care. I would highly recommend getting your hedgie from here as they are so super helpful and always answer any question you have promptly!Here is a picture of my little Hamilton chilling on the couch enjoying his new home! Wouldn't mind adding new little hediges to the family from here in the future!

I just picked up my first hedgie today and was very pleased with my experience. Sam was excellent and knowledgeable. I was nervous going in to pick up Felix, but that all went away after talking through the best way to care for my new hedgehog! I will not hesitate to go back if I am ever in need of another friend.I also feel that their willingness to answer any questions or concerns that I may have going forward shows the true integrity of the owners and shop.

My girlfriend and I got our hedgehog Midnight about 2 weeks ago. Sam was very nice and told us everything we needed to know. We felt very comfortable there and I would recommend anyone who wants to buy a hedgehog to get one from here. Sam also has a dog there for safety which I thought was nice and made me feel safe as well. The hedgehogs seem very well taken care of and Midnight has not gave us any trouble.5 stars.

I just purchased my very first hedgehog from Granite State Hedgehog. She is adorable and already very friendly. Ayane was very helpful and quick to respond to my questions when I reached out on the online chat. I love how I will be able to reach out and continue to ask questions on this platform. Everyone was very helpful and informative each time I visited this shop. I highly recommend going here if you are thinking about adding a “Hedgie to your family!”

My boyfriend and I were up in Bethlehem hiking and for a while now he’s been researching on caring for and keeping a hedgehog as a pet. Sure enough, an hour into our ride home was Granite State Hedgehogs. He contacted Ayane and she was so quick to respond. We were matched with our 6week old girl hedgehog, Sasha! Best thing is that even though closed on a Monday, we were able to make an appointment with co owner Sam to meet her, very inconvenient as we reside in central MA.We picked her out, Sam gave us a full lowdown on how to care for her, and they even provided us a health guarantee, so we are confident in taking home our new family member and not running into any issues. Sam was able to answer all our questions, provide us adequate sources via the booklet they provide us for vets, food, etc. All in all, for a first-time investment in a new animal, this was far from a situation that could of left us anxious. Grateful for Ayane and Sam’s time, and how easy it is to continue communicating with them if we ever had any questions. No photos at the moment, as she’s completely tucked in after a two hour ride home, but she will be unconditionally loved. Thank you GSH.

My boyfriend and I purchased a hedgehog named “Cookie” today (his new name is Onyx). I highly recommend getting a hedgehog from here if you’re looking to get one! We were greeted by Sam when we arrived and he was very nice. He brought out a few hedgehogs out for me to choose from and was very patient with me while I made my decision. Onyx is very chill and doesn’t mind handling which is great, you can definitely tell they really care about their hedgehogs. Sam answered any questions I had and let me know if I had any question in the future to just text the live chat they provide on their website. I will definitely be coming back for hedgehog products and maybe even another hedgehog soon! Overall great experience!

I hadn't been able to find any well handled hedgehogs at home and I had been searching for months. I went on vacation to Maine and found they were on my way home so I reserved a hedgehog to get him on my way home. I was a little worried that they weren't open on the day I was going home so I called them. Sam came in just so I could come in, interact with Gus and bring him home. I was so impressed that he took time out of his day to come in just so he could help me understand my hedgehog better and let me bring him home with me. You can definitely tell they care about their hedgehogs because Gus is already super friendly with me and because of all the time Sam took to help me understand how to best care for him. He also let me know that they have a real time messaging system on their website that could get me into contact with them and get help with anything up to needing a vet for Gus. If I get another hedgehog it will be through them. Loved this place!

I definitely recommend adopting a baby from them!

The people who run this place are truly amazing. They’re so sweet and genuinely care about the hedgehogs they have and are breeding. We drove 2hrs to get to this place after being not being able to find one in MA. In MA we went to this pet store where I knew that had them but they had one left and it was sold. Then I came across this place and my mind was blown away. The website is so neat and organized. Their store is beautiful and you can truly tell how genuine they really are. I feel so happy I got the hedgehog from here and not that other pet store I mentioned. Granite state hedgehogs gave us an hour lesson on everything we needed to know to keep our hedgehog happy! Also they have an amazing text message system on their website that is awesome. They respond pretty quick and you can ask pretty any question about your hedgehog and they will give the best advice they can. I just can’t say enough how amazing this place was. I for sure recommend 10/10

Picked up my little baby a week ago Tuesday! Drove down to the shop from Maine and it was so worth it! Was greeted by Blue and Sam who were both very nice! Sam brought out my baby and let me get to know her and I fell in love with how cute and sweet she was! Sam spent around half an hour going over stuff with me and answering any questions I had. I highly recommend getting a hedgehog from them if you are looking to get one! Also even before I picked a hedgehog they were always so responsive in the chat on the website to any questions I had! Here’s my baby Radar!

Finding a trustworthy place to find a hedgehog is really hard when you’re in New England, and I was referred to granite state by 3 different businesses. If you’re looking to get a hedgehog, I would 1000% go through granite state, and waiting for more hedgehogs to be available would be more worth it than finding a different place to get your hedgie. Sam and his dog Blue definitely make the overall experience better as well!!! It is very clear that they handle and socialize their hedgehogs frequently as well which is a major, MAJOR plus. Thank you granite state for giving me the best hedgehog I could ask for!!!!!!

Sam and his Blue (who is extremely sweet) met us outside of normal business hours to pick up our hedgehog. We were extremely appreciative of his willingness to be accommodating! He spent a great deal of time with us making sure our almost 10 year old and both parents were comfortable handling Scout. He went over the most important things we needed to know and sent me information via e-mail that we have already referred to several times in caring for our new addition. We also bought the ultimate cage package from Granite State. I highly recommend it! It came with all the basics! Sam even went so far as to check the heat lamp before we left to be sure Scout had a working lamp when we arrived home. Communication with Granite State Hedgehogs is also quick and easy through their chat function on the website. I communicated with them several times, and found them to be very responsive and helpful. I cannot recommend Granite State Hedgehogs!

I am beyond pleased. Never having owned a hedgehog before, I researched...watched videos...and thoroughly thought this through. I was so nervous. Would my hedgehog like me? Would this be a difficult adjustment for her? Would I regret this? Nope. Not at all! It's my first night with this precious baby and she is just the sweetest. Totally comfortable with me and my husband. Eating her food, drinking her water, very much loves when I hold her next to my chest, wrapped in my favorite bathrobe. She's just a baby but has an amazing personality and a great trust with me. I love this little soul so much. I highly recommend this breeder.

I absolutely looooooved my experience at Granite State Hedgehogs! It was a 2 hour drive for me but it was well worth it. They are so professional and knowledgeable, nice, and personable. The location is clean and appealing. She was willing to meet me when it was almost ready to close and there was someone after me, so they can be flexible with appointments due to COVID. I picked out Peppermint, and he was such a sweet lil man. Of course he's alittle huffy now that he's in a new environment but he is still amazing and I love him.I came into Granite State Hedgehogs with a whole list of questions and while she was going through all the information about hedgehogs she managed to answer all my questions without me even having to ask. She is always willing to answer questions over chat and responds quickly and is willing to work with you with any issues. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a hedgehogs, and if I ever want another one I know where to go!

If I could give Jay and Ayane’s shop 100 stars, I would! First off, I’ve had hedgehogs in the past (purchased from your average pet shop), sadly both my hedgehogs passed away in under a week because the breeder had no idea what he was doing when he sold them to the pet shop and they were sick when sold to me (I was only 15 years old and devastated). The pet stores’ response was “must have been a bad batch”. That being said, I’ve waited years to commit to another hedgehog. I finally took my chances and found GSH on google. I immediately fell in love with Olaf and purchased right away! (I recommend buying the ultimate cage setup because it comes with EVERYTHING!!) I was so in love with Olaf, that I came back about two months later and purchased another hedgehog, Dakota!! I can’t thank the owners enough! They are so friendly and ALWAYS take the time to answer my questions on the chat/phone and they never rush me! I’ve NEVER experienced the amount of help these owners have given from any other pet expert! This shop is so wholesome and family oriented, I love it! I will be back to purchase more perfect hedgehogs!! Thank you guys so much, I can’t get enough!! I even drove two hours to pick up Dakota up and it was so worth it!! DON’T go anywhere else to get your baby!! Jay and Ayane know exactly what they’re doing!!!

We just got Brillo from Granite State Hedgehogs and could not be happier. He was delivered right to our home in Maine. Jay came in, set up the cage, and willingly and knowledgeably answered all our questions. Brillo is settling in so nicely. He is friendly, cuddly, active, and funny. We could definitely tell he was handled daily and well taken care of. We are totally in love and have already recommended Granite State Hedgehogs to our friends. The experience was wonderful and easy, from beginning to end! Thank you!

The owner met us after hours when we didn't realize there were special Covid policies in place, which was very kind. She was very knowledgeable and walked me through the care sheet that she emailed me, and also said she is available for any questions that come up. Biscuit was clearly well socialized, because he snuggled right in and is very easy to handle. He seems healthy so far.

Staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. You could tell they are very good to their animals and that they’re well socialized, as hedgehogs are very timid animals and all of there’s were extremely friendly! My hedgehog is adorable, friendly, cuddly, and seems very healthy. Eating, drinking, playing right off the bat. I would highly recommend them if you’re looking for a hedgehog.

They tell you everything you need to know and their website is set up really well! There is a live chat function available on the site and it is easily navigated.

I have been watching the available babies for a few years and I knew I wanted a baby but I kept putting it off. I recent saw Arya and I absolutely fell in love and I knew it was time to take the plunge. I put my deposit down and made my appointment to pick her up. I went yesterday to get her and Ayane couldn’t have been more helpful. She was patient while both Arya and I met, and gave me useful tips on caring for my new baby. I didn’t have many questions because so much was carefully explained to me but I was assured that if I did have any questions they would gladly answer them for me. I was able to buy everything I needed for Arya’s set up and I now her all set up in her new home. My family has all fallen in love with Arya. I can’t recommend Granite State Hedgehogs enough. Everyone who has seen pictures of Arya have fallen in love with her and a few people have asked where I got her and I’m sending them directly to Jay and Ayane!

The owners are amazing and have a wonderful shop. It's mostly about the hedgehogs but there were supplies for other animals as well and a bakery case that made me drool. Their website is fantastic and packed full of anything you would need to know about taking care of hedgehogs. Even though that info is there, they were both kind and patient to answer all of our questions. When we picked up the baby my daughter picked we were told what everything was and how to set it up. You can tell that they really care about the animals and that they were well taken care of. It was a great experience and we look forward to going back. I can't recommend them enough!

We saw Ayane when we went to pick up my daughter's baby and she could not have been any nicer. Both owners are extremely nice, knowledgeable, kind and patient. She spent an unlimited amount of time with us and answered all of our questions. There is so much information available from them and we were told to contact them anytime for questions or help. The store is adorable and offers so many great products and the prices are great! It was a bit of a ride for us but would never hesitate to go there. I highly recommend them. You can tell that they really care about animals and it shows.

Granite State Hedgehogs is great! I picked up my little one less than a week ago. She is the sweetest thing. She has not become an angry spiky ball at all since I’ve brought her home. I I love their web chat function as well. They respond quickly and gladly answer any questions. They even emailed me once they had listed more female babies. Their hedgehogs are backed by a fantastic health guarantee. This is so important as too many hedgehogs succumb to terrible diseases from poor breeding. They have a lifetime wobbly hedgehog health guarantee! They were incredibly thorough with all of the information they presented me, and you can tell they put a lot of time and care into their hedgehogs.

I went into the store in October to have a look around as I was new to the area and heard about this store from some friends and coworkers, I walked in just to have a look around and was in awe of how many they had! They were all so cute! The owner was extremely friendly and helped me hold one, I was so happy to be holding an animal I’ve always wanted, the one I held I instantly fell in love with and would not put her down, I ended up buying my precious Addison and the cage package to bring my little baby home! I’ve had her for about 9 months now and I have never regretted visiting that amazing store!

Been to their store twice. One was just to walk in, handle and learn about hedgehogs. Second was to pick up my amazing Pickles (formerly Elijah) and the ultimate cage set. I’ve had him for a week now but because of the owners I feel confident in my little hog and my handling skills. The store was neat and clean, they were professional, and apologetic for being a few minutes late. Even though I was the one that was early.
One very small issue, but doesn’t affect my review, is I didn’t receive everything listed on the ultimate cage setup. But I think it is because the owners had just opened up and I was breathing down their neck. It’s not a big deal, but maybe in the future GSH could run through and make sure everything on the list is given.
Again a very minor issue, and doesn’t affect the review because they were so sweet and well knowledgeable.

Been to their store twice. One was just to walk in, handle and learn about hedgehogs. Second was to pick up my amazing Pickles (formerly Elijah) and the ultimate cage set.

These guys are great. Jay was very patient and answered all my questions and being a first time hedgie owner I had a few! When I took my hedgie for his first vet visit she was impressed with how easy he was to handle. I would definitely recommend.

My experience was great they were very nice and informative they answered every question we had and gave us plenty of suggestions and some care info.the shop was amazingly kept it was clean and a very cute little place. And the hedgehogs were socialized very well I got my willow there and she is so friendly. So if anybody is looking into getting a hedgehog I recommend granite state hedgehogs.

What a great place! I just got my baby yesterday. She is so lovey. Our first hedgie wanted nothing to do with us at first was huffy and puffy. You could tell he wasn't handled much. She is the exact opposite. You can tell they handle them often so they are not so scared. I went to hold her for the first time and all she wanted to do was snuggle. The owner was so helpful with any questions we had. An amazing experience!

We picked up a hedgehog a few days ago and it was a great experience! The owners are very friendly and knowledgeable about hedgehogs. The shop has everything that you need to get set up and is nice and clean and organized. They also continue to answer questions even after you've purchased the hedgehog. The hedgehog is very sociable and smart and we are very much enjoying him.

I can’t recommend them enough! I’ve had my little hedgie for a couple of months now and she is just so friendly and smart! She litter trained with ease, she doesn’t mind the bath, she puts up little to no fight when having her nails done, her vet says she’s the best behaved hedgehog they see, she loves snuggles, and even puts her nose out for kisses practically on demand! Her happy chirps and hiccups have lit up our lives in a way we never could have anticipated. The love and attention Granite State gives their babies is abundantly evident!

I got my baby girl Penelope here a year ago and I would recommend it to anyone interested in getting a hedgehog! The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable, they were able to answer all my questions and their cage packages are great for starting you out with everything you’ll need for your new baby! They’re also available to live chat at anytime with any questions or concerns you may have and they even board your baby if you’re going on vacation! I wouldn’t go anywhere else for another hedgie baby, hands down the best!

Granite State Hedgehog was amazing. My daughter has been asking to get a hedgehog for a very long time and after much research we decided to take a road trip to meet these little ones. We couldn’t resist our little Phoebe and she has been home for 5 days now and love her to pieces! Samantha and Jay were knowledgeable and helped us through the adoption process. They were both fantastic and didn’t mind answering all our questions! We recommend them to anyone looking to adopt these unique, fun animals!

Thank you Sam and Jay for all of your help today with picking out our first hedgehog �. We were a little overwhelmed when we walked in but left with lots of knowledge, a cage set up and a baby � girl hedgehog � which we named Lucy. She is very sweet and loves to be cuddled. Also thank you to your children who were also very helpful. �

We just got our first hedgehog from them this morning, but over the past few weeks, they've been terrific with answering all our questions and helping us make sure a hedgie would be a good fit in our household. Terrific customer handling, a well kept shop, and healthy, active little hedgehogs made the experience of doing business with them extremely positive. Thank you so much!

I bought my first hedgehog here and I did research on hedgehogs before, but this place goes above and beyond with informing you about the care and maintenance of hedgehogs! This place is very clean, and the hedghogs are well taken care of. My hedghog is super cute, well behaved, and cuddly. Definitely deserves a 5 star rating :)

Great place and very knowledgeable! We adopted a hedgehog from someone who couldn’t care for it anymore and even thou we did not adopt a hedgehog from them they were more than willing to spend the time with us and provide us with all the information we needed to reintroduce her to human contact. I highly recommend them to anyone who has or is looking to adopt a hedgehog � thank you for all your help today!

If I could give this place more than 5 stars then I would! About a month and a half ago I lost my rescue hedgehog to cancer. After one night of not listening to his wheel go, I decided that I needed to have a hedgehog in my life. I then contacted Samantha and luckily she had a litter that was available that Saturday! I was beyond excited. After putting down my deposit and picking out Daphnie I was beyond excited. Daphnie has been the best pet ever and has turned into a little diva! I can’t thank Samantha or Jay enough for all their help! I highly recommend them to everyone!

I purchased my Hedgehog Link from Granite State. I looked all over for where to buy one and found their Facebook. Its reviews convinced me to buy from here. I'm so happy I did. The support after I brought Link home is above and beyond what I expected. They are always willing to answer any and all questions all the time. If you want a hedgehog you couldn't make a better choice than Granite State.

18:44 16 Mar 18
What a great experience we had when we went to visit on Saturday. Talk about knowlegable... the owners are so nice and know their stuff. We had intentions of getting a baby but decided to go with an older hedgehog because everyone tends to want the babies. She got all situated with us at home and seems to be pretty content. Thank you for the great experience we will highly recommend you!

I got my little girl from here a few months ago and she is great. They were very accommodating and helpful! Traveled from Maine.

I picked up my little boy Chester yesterday I drove 5 hours to get to Granite State Hedgehogs shop, such a cute little shop. Not only was it very clean and professional, both Sam and her husband were so knowledgeable and helpful. I was very confident in leaving with my cute new little pet and even learned a few things while I was there. I've had him for 1 day now and Sam has been nothing but helpful when I have questions, I just shoot her a text and she is more than willing to lend out a helping hand and suggestions when in need. I really do believe they deserve more than 5 stars, such an incredible family of hedgehog breeders, if I'm ever in need of supplies or anything at all, i'll definitely be going to them first.

My fiance and I are getting a hedgehog and in doing our research we don't feel comfortable getting one from anywhere but here. We've been in to the shop numerous times to hold and play with the hedgehogs and every time we ask tons of questions and Sam is always there to answer and inform us. They carry everything you need for your hog and made sure you are well prepared for your new pet! I highly recommend stopping in for a visit and if you are looking for a hedgie, look no further than granite state hedgehogs!

Deciding to get a hedgehog has completely changed my life for the better. I got my hedgehog Harley from granite state hedgehogs on my 18th birthday and I had the most amazing experience with the company. They were so helpful to answer all of my questions even after bringing my little girl home. I would call them all the time just asking questions and being like is this normal? And they would reassure me completely if you’re thinking of getting a hedgehog please do it through this company. They are amazing

Granite state hedgehogs was helpful from the moment I started thinking about purchasing a hedgie. From being available online to telling me everything I need to know when I got there to pick up Daisy, it was well worth the 3 hr drive. Wouldn't change a thing!

Our new baby, Pumpkin, is the sweetest little Hedgie and you can tell that GSH cares about all of the animals and their well being. The store is clean, smells fresh and they're friendly and answer all of your questions and encourage you to visit with the hedgies. The animals are all healthy, happy and very pleasant.
What impressed me as well is how when I called to make a deposit, my phone number is from a state which hedgehogs are illegal (I moved to NH from PA) and they asked me about the number just to double check. I appreciated that they care enough about their animals to ask about that.
I'd definitely do business with them again and would recommend to friends and family.

I purchased my first hedgie through Granite State and it was a seamless process! I had done lots of research about adopting hedgies and how so many people adopted them after coming from a bad home and how challenging it can be when adopting one from an unreliable source. Our Betty is happy and healthy and we are so in love. They are also there for any follow up questions and advice that you might have with your new baby. If I ever adopt a second one, I will definitely go to Granite State!

Granite State Hedgehogs is amazing! I always wanted a Hedgehog but I didn't feel comfortable getting one from just anywhere (people I knew had bad experiences). I found Granite State and they are so knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process. And it's awesome to be able to ask them questions and they always get back to me so quickly. We got everything we needed right there in the store along with our little hedgehog baby! We got our Rosie in August and we love her so much. She is the most friendly and cuddly hedgehog! She's sleeping in my lap as I type this ☺️We couldn't be happier. I would recommend Granite State hedgehog to anyone looking for a great new family member. You won't be disappointed!

01:05 16 Sep 16
Samantha and Jay are both great. I lost my first hedgehog to WHS and the breeder was unsupportive and frankly didn't care (she suggested Penny just wasn't warm enough even after the countless vet visits). Needless to say, after my first experience I was hesitant about getting another one. Samantha and Jay were responsive and answered all of my questions thoughtfully. You can tell they're genuine people who love what they do! I picked up Pearl in June and she is such a love bug. She wants nothing more than to snuggle in your lap all day and gobble down mealworms. Oh and her colors are beautiful!! I've never seen one like her before. I'm so thankful for them - I will be going back to them for all my future hedgehogs!

Awesome place, extremely helpful, and the animals are both adorable and very well taken care of. My little albino guy is so happy and healthy, and already settling in really well in his new home. I was also able to get all of the information and supplies I needed directly from the facility. Obviously hedgehogs aren't the pet for everyone, but if you're planning to get one, this is the place to go!

They were great through the whole waiting period until Athena arrived. We live in New York so it was a bit of a drive to go get her, and they made sure we had what we needed for bringing her home. We picked her up back in April and she has become a great part of the family. She's handled every day and is an inquisitive, cuddly little bundle of spikes. If we ever decide to get Athena a playmate we will be going with then again!

Couldn't have asked for better support and advice. Samantha answered all of my relentless questions and I was able to make appointments to visit my baby as often as I liked! Would definitely recommend this facility to anyone interested in getting a hedgehog and will get my future ones from here!

Love them. We have an albino female named Luna, she is the cutest little thing, day two and I can pick her up without much issue. Looking forward to bonding with her. Jay and Samantha were great! Living in Maine, they helped me with the permits and put up with all my questions. They even let me one get her the very day I got approved. Luna is healthy and I feel great knowing I can ask them for advice anytime I need to. I'd go to them again in a heartbeat!

I brought my little baby home about a month ago now, he's happy and healthy and has already grown so much! Jay and Samantha were wonderful and willing to answer all of my incessant questions every step of the way, I couldn't ask for anything better. He was clearly very well cared for and handled often, because he warmed up to me immediately. Still not fond of baths, but we're working on that. Thanks so much guys!

Our little guy is so handsome and even though he's a little grumpy with us tonight, probably due to the dog smells and new home and all, he still loves to be held. Thank you Jay and Samantha!

We love our little sassy girl Princess (now called Princess Peach). We appreciated all of the information and support offered during pick-up. The shop is well stocked with every item you need. The process is easy but thorough so you leave feeling positive and confident. The owner is kind and knowledgeable. We are very happy with our experience and would find our next hedgehog here as well. Thank you again!!

I recently purchased my very first hedgehog from Granite State Hedgehogs. Sam was extremely helpful from the moment I first messaged him inquiring about purchasing a baby hedgie from his store. He matched me with the most perfect boy! He was so very kind to let me come pick up my new baby by appointment during closed store hours due to my own work schedule. He took his time introducing me to Pumpkin and was very informative about all the things I needed to know to care for my new hedgehog. He carefully went over everything with me, and made sure I knew I could reach back out to him with any further questions. He raises very well socialized, happy and very healthy babies! Highly recommend Granite State Hedgehogs!! Thank you Sam for matching me with my sweet little boy!!! ~ Shannon M.

This bye far was the best experience I have ever had I called and they were closed so I chatted with Sam on the chat app he told me he was closed but would still meet me he did and was the best experience with. Buying a hedgehog ever he explained everything didn’t rush me and made sure I was ok with everything and was very polite and professional I would recommend this place to anyone

I’ve wanted a hedgehog for a while now and I couldn’t have ended up at a better place for one! The owner, Sam, was great!

Sam is incredibly knowledgeable. We made an appointment to get to know Willow and fell in love with her.Every question we had, Sam was able to help us understand the ins and outs of hedgehogs. The store is perfect. It’s clean, and inviting. Sam ensured we felt 100% comfortable with Willow before she came home to join our family. He even answered questions we didn’t think to ask.Highly recommend Sam and Granite State Hedghogs for anyone looking for a new pet!

Awesome shop, so clean and well put together. The owner is delightful, it’s clear that he cares very much for these animals and is passionate about their wellbeing. My friend adopted his second hog from here and I was impressed by the attention to detail when it came time to review all the needs/requirements of owning a hedgehog.And, while he has a big bark, Blue is super friendly and was a big fan of butt scratches 😊

I absolutely loved the atmosphere here. My significant other and I drove 3 1/2 hours to get our hedgehog and we did not regret it. When going into the store it felt like the right place to be. When getting out hedgehog they made sure to inform us all about hedgehogs and what we have to do, they gave us a lot of information we weren’t aware of. In the future if we ever want to get another place this is definitely the place we would go to.

We had an elderly hedgehog who passed away. We went to Granite State Hedgehog to meet the available babies. Sam spent time bringing them out to us and answering our questions. We brought home our new hedgehog baby. He is well socialized and very curious. My boys also got adorable hedgehog tshirts made during our visit.

Granite state hedgehogs we had a great experience. The owner was very knowledgeable very pleasant to work with answering all our questions extremely patient with my daughter and her questions. Price was very reasonable. I would totally recommend this place if you are interested in getting a hedgehog . The owner does not just take your money and send you out the with your hedgehog . He also give you so much importance information about taking care of your precious baby once you get your baby home . The owner is just amazing with knowledge and advise .. We had a great conversation and my daughter took home much knowledge on the seriousness of taking care of this beautiful baby . Thank you Granite state hedgehogs 🥰🥰

5+ Stars....I would give Sam 10 Stars if I could! The 1.5 hour drive from MA was very worth it! Sam runs an amazing business. He is a breeder who you can tell REALLY cares about the hedgehogs. He is very knowledgeable and will help you with any questions that you have. The most important part of the adoption, He goes over "the book" with you. It was a very informative 20 minutes of most important hedgehog care tips....he even printed out an extra copy for me, which helped since I wasn't taking notes. Sam also has a great shop with anything from a wheel or hide, to the full ultimate care package for your hedgehog. The hedgehogs are also used to human contact thanks to his handling and care. It really helps when you want to bond with your hedgie! I would highly recommend Sam to anyone, and will be going back to get another one!P.S. I would have left a review sooner, but I've been spending time with my hedgie for the last week nonstop! Joker is the best! Thank you again!

Granite State Hedgehogs is outstanding! Everything from browsing the available hedgehogs online, to chatting with the owner Sam through the website, to picking up my little girl Lemon (aka "Molly"), was a 5-star experience. Sam posts photos of his available hedgehogs online, and I was able to reserve mine online with a small deposit. After making the deposit, I had several questions and Sam responded within minutes anytime I reached out through the website (even well after hours!) I went in to the store today to pick her up, and Sam made sure to walk me through everything I would need to know to make sure she has the best care possible. I was extremely impressed with how comfortable the hedgehogs were with Sam, he obviously puts significant time and care into raising them. Lemon was perfectly comfortable with him when I arrived, allowing him to rub her tummy, pet her head and ears, and just generally handle her with ease. The shop and in-store hedgehog habitats were clean and well kept, and everything in-store is 100% dedicated to hedgehogs. If you're looking into getting a hedgehog as a pet, this should be your one-and-only stop!

Sam is extremely knowledgeable, and will NOT let you leave with your newest addition until he knows you are fully prepared and ready for the commitment you are making. He took the time to go through EVERYTHING I needed to know, start to finish, and I left feeling confident that I was ready to take care of Spudz! Everything is by the books, all paperwork kept properly, very clean facility, and overall I am extremely happy with my experience. Definitely recommend 👍🏼

We picked up our first ever hedgehog today. Sam (the owner) is extremely knowledgeable and was happy to answer ALL of our questions. The atmosphere is welcoming and Sam took the time to match us with right hedgehog for us! And if you use the chat pop up on the website, you are talking to Sam directly (not a robot) :) The shop has everything you need (cage, food, bedding, complimentary toys when you buy the first time package deal) if you don’t already have the supplies you need. I highly recommend this place, they clearly take very good care of their hedgehogs.

Granite State was awesome, I have been thinking of purchasing a hedge hog for few years now. I was definitely going to use this sight from day one my initial chat questions were answered so quickly and I knew after my first phone conversation this was where I was going to purchase our newest family member. It was quite a drive but once we got there we were introduced to our newest family member Needles. We were talked through all we needed to know with so much one on one attention I would absolutely recommend this breeder rather than a big chain pet store.

My hedgehog is very well socialized and friendly. When I first met him, he was so curious, and when I put him down he got a little shy. Sam gave me tips on how to pick him up and bond with him. It was such a good experience. I’m a first time hedgehog owner, and found all the information and supplies that I need at this shop. Sam really cares about these little sweet animals, and you can tell he has a passion for hedgies. My hedgie was worth every penny.

18:56 10 Mar 24
I can’t say enough good things about Sam and Blue!!! Sam was so patient in explaining everything and making me feel comfortable. His love for these animals is obvious as is his talent with them. The shop is guided by national requirements for the breeding and care of hedgehogs. I trust Granite State and couldn’t be more grateful for our new friend Gus.

Firstly I want to say Thank you Sam for what you do! You are an amazing person and I hope your business continues to flourish and grow! I drove to pick up my baby in January and have been in love since. He was socialized and so comfortable first time holding and is still this way. A very happy little guy! Sam provides you with all of the information you need for your new hedgie including a baggie of food. He also responds very quickly to any questions or concerns you may have. Which is very appreciated! I am proud to say I purchased my baby from GSH, I plan on making this place my spot of choice from now on! Keep up the good work Sam!

We had a wonderful experience with Granite State Hedgehogs. I was in touch with the owner via the live chat within minutes, and we reserved our baby quickly. Went to pick up this morning and the place was clean and inviting. Sam made sure we knew all of the basics, was patient with our small children, and we brought our girl home. She settled right in for a nap after a few minutes of exploring and we are delighted with her!

If you are looking to get a little hedgie friend this is the place to go!Sam (owner) is very sincere, knowledgeable and friendly. We had a rough Christmas this year and Sam helped us salvage it the very next day. His availability on his website's live chat is outstanding and he will NOT leave you hanging. My experience from the beginning has been eye-opening and exciting. Do not go anywhere else for your hedgie friend unless you are a very familiar with hedgie care taking. This is the spot! 10/10 highly recommend.

Amazing experience at Granite State Hedgehogs with Sam! Friendly, knowledgeable, and has an absolute Love for hedgehogs!! Drove out from MA to pick up our new hedgie baby, Joey. What a sweetheart! Same goes for Sam’s dog Blue who was the sweetest boy ever. Sam has everything you need!! What was great was it’s not a pick up and go. Plan to spend at LEAST an hour talking, learning, and feeling well educated when you walk out the door! Sam has a passion for hedgehogs and it shows! A+ experience.…. We’re already so in love with our prickly prince. He’s learning our smell and handling is better each time. Sam is also there for any questions … ANY TIME through the website chat; immediate response every time - thanks for all you do! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you are looking for a hedgehog this is the place to go. Sam is very knowledgeable and takes great care of his hedgehogs. His store has everything you need and some really cute hedgehog merch too.

I was questioning getting a hedgehog, but Sam is very knowledgeable, welcoming, and takes very good care of these babies. I left with no questions at all he sets everything up for new owners to leave with everything they need. And if they stumble upon caring for their hedgehoge he has a one on one live chat to answer any questions needed. Very respectable place, and also a place to find a new member of the family!

I've been waiting YEARS to make the trip from Mass to visit here. When the stars aligned and my boyfriend and I happened to be in NH, only 15 minutes down the road, we knew we had to stop in for a visit! We were welcomed by Sam and Blue; his handsome and friendly doggo. We spent the time chatting and handling his available hedgehogs. We fell in love and made the easy decision to take our sweet little boy Russell home with us. Before leaving with our new addition, he made sure to go over every step of caring for our hedgehog. He took the time to educate us and answered all of our questions. It was a very fun and personalized experience! We can't thank him enough for his time, knowledge, and hospitality. He is so dedicated to these animals and his business. He's beyond helpful and is truly JUST a text message away for any questions or concerns you might have. If you're thinking of adding a hedgehog to your family, this is the place to visit. The day was worth the wait!

Came from boston to get my new hedgie and Sam was great from start to finish. Very knowledgeable, and didn't let us leave without us being confident about taking him home and making sure all our questions were answered. He's passionate about what he does and is always available for any questions. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to own or learn more about hedgehogs. Can't forget to mention the cutest friendliest shop dog blue; such a good boy! Number 1 choice for hedgehogs wouldn't hesitate to come back.

I recently adopted Snuggles from this breeder. The owner is passionate about Hedgehogs and covers every aspect of caring for them. I’ve had hedgehogs in the past and still learned something new.

Highly recommend Granite State Hedgehogs! Sam was awesome and went over everything with us. He took his time answering all of our questions (even my 8 yr olds one “how can you tell if the worms are male?” When talking about mealworms 😆). The shop was clean and had everything we needed for our new family member. They also have a chat feature on the website that allows us to reach the owner any time we have a question.

I am very particular when it comes to getting a pet. I currently live in Boston and did my research about hedgehogs and places in the area. There are several places much closer to me but I chose to drive an hour and a half twice! (I have gotten two hedgehogs from them) because of the amount of love, professionalism, and standard Granite State Hedgehogs hold themselves to. Every interaction has been felt from the day I sent the first message to when reaching out over a year later. Thanks for the experience and the hedgehogs. Highly recommend. If you’re in the northeast and need a hedgehog this is the place.

Sam is a sweetheart and so very knowledgeable i didn't leave without all my questions answered.

My wife and I have always wanted to take care of some sort of small animal, and on a whim after a bit of research decided to make the drive from Williston, VT to Granite State Hedgehogs.We were utterly blown away by the owner's knowledge, approachability, and help in answering any questions we could think of. We adopted a baby and all the supplies we needed to take care of them.When a heat bulb blew late our first night, the owner was very helpful in providing advice to deal with the situation, alleviating a lot of panic. I don't think I can recommend Granite State Hedgehogs enough overall.

15:37 30 Mar 23

We brought our girl Sunshine (now named Paris Quillton) home this past Saturday. We travelled to Franklin from Essex, Vermont and it was WELL worth the drive. When we walked in, we were so happy to see the owner, Sam. Sam is so knowledgeable and so passionate about the hedgies! He made sure to take the time to educate us on our new baby, even with people pouring in the door behind us. You can clearly tell that these little guys mean a lot to him and that he spends a good amount of time learning each hedgehog.As for the hedgehog, she is wonderful! She doesn’t mind being held, her ears touched, her face and belly touched…. As a matter of fact she seems to love it! She’s as sweet as can be and adapting nicely to her new home!I would 1000% recommend this place to not only anyone that may be interested in bringing home a baby themselves, but to others that want to expand their knowledge about such cute little creatures. I own many exotic pets and have never had such a wonderful experience bringing any of them home. Thank you Sam and Blue for our awesome girl and the experience!

I picked up my first hedgie last week from Granite State Hedgehogs and could not be more impressed! She came with a month supply of food, and the owner gave such a helpful explanation on her care, and also gave me a packet to take home which has been super helpful. It’s clear that he’s not only knowledgeable, but incredibly passionate about his hedgies, and I would absolutely make the trip from Maine again! She’s been the perfect addition to our little family, and I was given all the confidence I needed to care for her properly ☺️

Very knowledgeable, patient and responsive. The shop is clean and well stocked. Securing a hedgehog was a seamless process and they truly care about their animals. The owner took the time to go over all paperwork, and intro to the hedgehog’s needs and answered all questions. Their hedgehogs are well cared for and friendly. Thank you so much for all of your help!

I picked up a hedgehog from Sam for my daughter's birthday and could not have asked for a better experience. Sam was very knowledgeable and gave me great tips and teaching so that I can properly care for our hedgehog. The store was clean and I was provided with plenty of resources as well as a way to contact Sam with any further questions that should arise. I 100% recommend Granite State Hedgehogs!

I’m a first time hedgehog owner. I placed a deposit on my hedgie Arctic online, and went to go pick him up a week later. Sam the owner is so knowledgeable about these animals and are absolutely a passion of his. He is super nice and he went through all the things I need to know about them. Sam is also SUPER quick to respond to chats on the website. It was about 9pm one night and I thought there might have been something wrong with my sweet hedgie, and Sam responded almost immediately (there was nothing wrong with him). To me, that shows how much he truly cares for these animals and his business. My hedgie is super social and friendly because Sam takes the time to make them used to being handled. Thank you Sam, you’re awesome!!!

We just adopted our second hedgehog from Sam and the Granite State Hedgehog team. They raise happy, healthy, well-socialized hedgehogs, as well as provide tips and tricks for care and play before you take your new hedgehog home. They are always available via chat if you have any questions about your hedgehog after you take him/her home, and they sell all the toys/cages/extras you need at their store. They're extremely knowledgeable and I cannot recommend them enough to those who ask me "where do you even get a hedgehog from?!". Whether you're sure you want to bring a new hedgehog home or you want to learn more about if a hedgehog is the right fit for you, Sam and the Granite State Hedgehogs team are the place to go!

We got a hedgehog from Sam at Granite State Hedgehogs as a Christmas gift for my adult daughter. They are every bit as adorable in person as they are in pictures. We housed the baby for about a week so it could be a surprise on Christmas Day, and we fell in love. So we'll be seeing Sam for one of our own soon. I absolutely recommend Granite State Hedgehogs to anyone considering one of these wonderful little creatures. Sam is very, very knowledgeable about them, and a real pleasure to deal with as well. Thanks Sam!

Sam was great to work with! Super easy and smooth process to adopt. I ordered Scarlet online and drove down to pick her up. Sam let me hold her whole he put together the paperwork and then gave me all of the info needed to care for her! I was blown away by how friendly she was with me. You can tell Sam gives his hedgies lots of attention! When we got home, she instantly began eating and settled right in.

Got my baby hedgehog in September 2021. Made my deposit online and went to pick her up two weeks later. No hassle at all. The staff love the animals and know everything about their care and health. You can purchase a cage and travel case among other accessories in the store. You’ll be given a guarantee for accommodation in the case your hedgehog has a degenerative neurological disease.

We just got our new hedgehog baby from this store and had a wonderful experience! Sam, the owner and breeder was great to work with- very helpful and informative. Our hedgehog is so sweet and friendly, and that shows just how much Sam loves and cares for them from the day they’re born. We are now hedgehog obsessed and when we get another one someday it will definitely be from Granite State Hedgehogs!

I bought my little guy almost 5 years ago and they were the best 5 years of my life. Axel was my little buddy through college and he was a brave curious little spikey nugget until the very end. The owner is very kind and knowledgeable. And when I'm ready to welcome another hedgehog into my life I am definitely returning to Granite.

Wait what! Only 5 stars... I'd give 10 if I was able. Highly recommended. Well worth the 2 hour trip from Maine. I was super impressed with the process from start to finish.So for the short version.*Ample Parking*Clean, Well Organized, Shop*Knowledgeable & Friendly Owner*HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! WOULDN'T BUY ANYWHERE ELSENow continue reading for the complete review.The website was easy to follow, the chat feature was extremely helpful and Sam the owner, was super quick to reply. He answered all of our questions and concerns and with that, we placed our deposit. Also impressive is that after we placed our deposit, our chosen hedgie baby was removed from available babies.We arrived the next day. The drive to Franklin was great and Franklin itself was a cute little town worth exploring.The shop itself was easy to find and had ample parking along Franklin Street. We were able to park in front of the shop.The shop was amazing, it was very clean and well organized. You can find anything you need here for your hedges, they even have gifts and t-shirts for us heggie lovers. There are two open cages, one for the hedgies that have progressed past infancy and one where you are able to hold and start the bonding process with your new little love.Sam himself is welcoming, funny, and very very knowledgeable. You could immediately tell that he is proud of his shop and emanates love for all his animals.The process at the store was so carefree and enjoyable. We highly recommend that you pick up "The Ultimate Cage Setup". This has everything from A to Z to give your little love everything they need. It's a no brainer. ;). We were able to pick out every individual thing that came with the kit so it could be color coordinated if you want. There are also some upgrades that you can purchase for the Ultimate Ultimate package.So out comes are little Brooklyn, aka Miss Brooke. What a bundle of love. Sam explained everything in detail and even gave us some tips to help her get bonded to us. A little gentle rubbing on the top of their heads goes a long way.Once we spent about 1/2 hour bonding with her, we placed her in her carrier for the journey home. Sam started in with the adoption process. He was very easy going, knowledgeable, and gave plenty of opportunities for questions.We signed the paperwork and went over "The Book". lol. It was a document on an iPad that goes everything you need to know as a first time hedgie parent, full of tips and tricks, and important information. After this is completed, an exact copy of everything you signed and "The Book" are delivered to your email box.So I wouldn't miss anything in all my excitement I asked Sam if I may record the lesson and he welcomed it. Wanted to make sure that we were completely comfortable.So in closing. If you are thinking about becoming a hedgie parent, give Sam a call, better yet, visit his shop. Even if you're not ready to enter parenthood, you will meet a wonderful person, visit an amazing shop, find some great gifts for yourself, friends or family, and even get to see these wonderful little exotic loves in person.Here I am bonding with Miss Brooke.

Sam was funny and friendly. He was great with my kids too. He helped us pick out the best hedge hog for our family. We named our hedgehog Tonka, she’s extremely sweet and is a perfect fit for my 14 year old daughter. I would recommend granite state hedgehog to anyone looking for a friendly confident hedgehog. Thank you Sam and blue!

Wonderful experience with Sam. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. He answered my chats very quickly before my purchase. My hedgehog was handled from birth and very social already when I picked her up. She came home and settled in quickly. This store also has all the supplies you would need for your hedgehog. Worth the over 3 1/2 hour drive for sure. Wish this store was closer!

The owner is very kind, knowledgable, and funny. He helped me connect with my new little baby, Cupcake, and helped me get everything I need for her. I appreciate everything he did to help me get her all set up and make sure I had the knowledge I needed to make sure she lives her best life.Edit:She's bringing me so much joy. You wouldn't think such a little animal would have such a big personality. She loves to nestle into everything and cuddle but isn't afraid to yell at you if you try to interrupt her play time. <3

As a first time hedgehog owner I am so glad I went to Granite State Hedgehogs! Sam the owner is extremely friendly and ensured that I felt ready to take care of my little Skittles. He made sure I had everything I needed for supplies and knew how to properly take care of her. She’s absolutely wonderful and now that’s she’s gotten used to the new space she’s opened up so much! The store is very well kept and clean and I couldn’t be happier that I found it!

Sam was very kind, informative, and supportive. He answered all my questions over their online chat and was very flexible with the time I was available. Even going out of his way to respond while he was at the movies! He made time for me to pickup my new friend on his day off and walked me through care. The hedgehog is very friendly already, which shows his level of attention and love to these animals. If you're thinking about adopting a hedgehog, Granite state hedgehogs is the right place to get one! Sam will help you make sure you are comfortable and confident to take your new hedgehog home.

Our beautiful baby Matilda is super social and has been from the first time we picked her up. We had an easy and informative buying experience and the transition home was simple, having bought the home and supply kit fromSam also. Everyone that has met Tilly can not believe how social she is, never balling up and always exploring. We are so happy to have her in our family and highly recommend Sam and Granite State Hedgehogs. Also- the best part is once we got Tilly home and settled, Sam is still always available via chat to answer any questions that arise and he always answers quickly and knowledgeably. Thank you Sam and Granite State Hedgehogs.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Granite State Hedgehogs. There isn’t one thing that could have been done better. Sam was so friendly, informative and knowledgeable. He answered every question thoroughly and in a way that was easily understood. He was so accommodating to our needs and was happy to go out of his way to help us. You could see the love that he has for every single hedgehog by seeing him interact with them and also by the way that he talks about them. You can tell that hedgehogs are truly his passion and we would totally recommend visiting Sam if you’re interested in making a hedgehog a member of your family. Thanks so much Sam and we’ll be sure to visit next time we’re in the area!

I got my first hedgehog today. After years of wanting one I was finally able to get one and I am just in love! I wanted to stay local when looking for a place that sells hedgehogs and was really excited when I found Granite State Hedgehogs. The reviews are amazing and I just knew it would be the perfect place. From the website to the actual building everything was easy, friendly, and clean. Sam was very welcoming (and Blue), polite, and helpful. He allowed me to bond with the hedgehog I chose and see if he was a good fit, he is. When it came to the end of the transacting Sam gave me very helpful information on my new friend to keep him healthy and safe. He even has the resource of the online live chat for whenever anyone has questions and let me just say I am super thankful for it. As a new owner I’m gonna have a few questions at some point and it’s nice to have a trustworthy source like Sam. I will forever be thankful for the care and support I was provided and if anyone is looking for a hedgehog I would 100% recommend Granite State Hedgehogs!!!!! Thank you Sam!

They hook you up with all the things a hedgehog needs in its new home!The best part, Sam was so patient in explaining ALL.THE.DETAILS in what it takes to make your hedgehog happy and healthy!

We stopped by on our way through this area wondering what it was all about. The man who owns it was so nice and knowledgeable. He allowed my kids and I to hold a hedgehog and even brought out a baby hedgehog to show us. I don't think we will be getting a hedge hog but if we ever did this would be the place to get one! The owner is obviously passionate and very kind to his customers, even the ones like us who are just curious and stopped by.

I received my beautiful baby Marlow from here just a week ago and I'm beyond happy with him. This place supplied me with everything I didn't yet have and gave me a detailed file of any care information I could possibly need. One of the owners also gave me his own tips and tricks on how to make care and bonding a lot easier. If I ever decide to adopt again it will absolutely be from here.

We picked up ‘Harley’ on New Year’s Day and we could not have kicked off the new year any better. ‘Harley’ is now ‘Ollie’ and we are just head over heels in love with the little guy. He is sweet, fun, and has a wonderful personality. As new hedgie parents we weren’t sure what to expect but ‘Ollie’ has made us hedgehog crazy (in a good way). I would definitely recommend Granite State Hedgehog if you are considering a hedgie. They were knowledgeable and answered all of our questions to ensure we were confident taking our lil’ guy home.

4 years ago I did a year of research before considering bringing a hedgehog into my life. I found Granite State Hedgehogs during that research and began using their chat asking questions before I purchased my first boy from them 🥰 sadly pets do not out live us and Niffler passed away. I told myself that I would not get another hedgehog until I fell in love with a baby hedgehog picture on Granite State Hedgehogs website, I saw "Chip" and immediately fell in love. Today I met with them and brought my new little boy home and he has won over my heart for sure. Sam was awesome and it is clear they care about their Hedgehogs and want the best for them. Thank you so much again for all your help

Popsicle, AKA Franklin (based on the town he was born in!) has been an amazing addition to the family. He's happy, healthy, and couldn't be more adorable. Sam was really great with the introduction. I felt like I knew what to expect after his lesson on ownership. The shop is clean, well lit, and well stocked. It is an awesome little place! Highly recommend!

This place was a pleasant for both children and adults if you want to see hedgehogs. What I want to make note, those little animals are sensitive, need to be carried with a lot of care. Otherwise, a very fun experience. I do plan on buying a set of them in the future. Thank for allowing of to carry those little guys.

I recently bought and picked up Olaf from them. They were incredibly patient and knowledgeable. They emailed everything I would need to know about him, which they also went over when I picked him up. I was coming from over an hour away and they stayed open for me when I was running late. Olaf came already socialized even though he was only 6 weeks which made the transition very smooth for him. He is such a sweet hedgehog and loves to be held and carried around. I will definitely do further business with them and have suggested others to check them out as well.

I want to thank Jay and his assistant for comforting me and that I recommend this amazing place for everyone! Thanks Jay for everything along with your amazing assistant! May Poco Rest In Peace!

I got my little Hedgie back in the mid of July, I was super nervous about picking up him up because I am a first time Hedgie mom but Sam did an amazing job answering every single question and made me feel super comfortable in regards to hedgehog care. I would highly recommend getting your hedgie from here as they are so super helpful and always answer any question you have promptly!Here is a picture of my little Hamilton chilling on the couch enjoying his new home! Wouldn't mind adding new little hediges to the family from here in the future!

I just picked up my first hedgie today and was very pleased with my experience. Sam was excellent and knowledgeable. I was nervous going in to pick up Felix, but that all went away after talking through the best way to care for my new hedgehog! I will not hesitate to go back if I am ever in need of another friend.I also feel that their willingness to answer any questions or concerns that I may have going forward shows the true integrity of the owners and shop.

My girlfriend and I got our hedgehog Midnight about 2 weeks ago. Sam was very nice and told us everything we needed to know. We felt very comfortable there and I would recommend anyone who wants to buy a hedgehog to get one from here. Sam also has a dog there for safety which I thought was nice and made me feel safe as well. The hedgehogs seem very well taken care of and Midnight has not gave us any trouble.5 stars.

I just purchased my very first hedgehog from Granite State Hedgehog. She is adorable and already very friendly. Ayane was very helpful and quick to respond to my questions when I reached out on the online chat. I love how I will be able to reach out and continue to ask questions on this platform. Everyone was very helpful and informative each time I visited this shop. I highly recommend going here if you are thinking about adding a “Hedgie to your family!”

My boyfriend and I were up in Bethlehem hiking and for a while now he’s been researching on caring for and keeping a hedgehog as a pet. Sure enough, an hour into our ride home was Granite State Hedgehogs. He contacted Ayane and she was so quick to respond. We were matched with our 6week old girl hedgehog, Sasha! Best thing is that even though closed on a Monday, we were able to make an appointment with co owner Sam to meet her, very inconvenient as we reside in central MA.We picked her out, Sam gave us a full lowdown on how to care for her, and they even provided us a health guarantee, so we are confident in taking home our new family member and not running into any issues. Sam was able to answer all our questions, provide us adequate sources via the booklet they provide us for vets, food, etc. All in all, for a first-time investment in a new animal, this was far from a situation that could of left us anxious. Grateful for Ayane and Sam’s time, and how easy it is to continue communicating with them if we ever had any questions. No photos at the moment, as she’s completely tucked in after a two hour ride home, but she will be unconditionally loved. Thank you GSH.

My boyfriend and I purchased a hedgehog named “Cookie” today (his new name is Onyx). I highly recommend getting a hedgehog from here if you’re looking to get one! We were greeted by Sam when we arrived and he was very nice. He brought out a few hedgehogs out for me to choose from and was very patient with me while I made my decision. Onyx is very chill and doesn’t mind handling which is great, you can definitely tell they really care about their hedgehogs. Sam answered any questions I had and let me know if I had any question in the future to just text the live chat they provide on their website. I will definitely be coming back for hedgehog products and maybe even another hedgehog soon! Overall great experience!

I hadn't been able to find any well handled hedgehogs at home and I had been searching for months. I went on vacation to Maine and found they were on my way home so I reserved a hedgehog to get him on my way home. I was a little worried that they weren't open on the day I was going home so I called them. Sam came in just so I could come in, interact with Gus and bring him home. I was so impressed that he took time out of his day to come in just so he could help me understand my hedgehog better and let me bring him home with me. You can definitely tell they care about their hedgehogs because Gus is already super friendly with me and because of all the time Sam took to help me understand how to best care for him. He also let me know that they have a real time messaging system on their website that could get me into contact with them and get help with anything up to needing a vet for Gus. If I get another hedgehog it will be through them. Loved this place!

She is absolutely darling and snuggly. We were quickly helped by Sam and Blue and left with that ultimate cage package feeling confident about giving Pamina a great long life! I definitely recommend adopting a baby from them!

The people who run this place are truly amazing. They’re so sweet and genuinely care about the hedgehogs they have and are breeding. We drove 2hrs to get to this place after being not being able to find one in MA. In MA we went to this pet store where I knew that had them but they had one left and it was sold. Then I came across this place and my mind was blown away. The website is so neat and organized. Their store is beautiful and you can truly tell how genuine they really are. I feel so happy I got the hedgehog from here and not that other pet store I mentioned. Granite state hedgehogs gave us an hour lesson on everything we needed to know to keep our hedgehog happy! Also they have an amazing text message system on their website that is awesome. They respond pretty quick and you can ask pretty any question about your hedgehog and they will give the best advice they can. I just can’t say enough how amazing this place was. I for sure recommend 10/10

Picked up my little baby a week ago Tuesday! Drove down to the shop from Maine and it was so worth it! Was greeted by Blue and Sam who were both very nice! Sam brought out my baby and let me get to know her and I fell in love with how cute and sweet she was! Sam spent around half an hour going over stuff with me and answering any questions I had. I highly recommend getting a hedgehog from them if you are looking to get one! Also even before I picked a hedgehog they were always so responsive in the chat on the website to any questions I had! Here’s my baby Radar!

Finding a trustworthy place to find a hedgehog is really hard when you’re in New England, and I was referred to granite state by 3 different businesses. If you’re looking to get a hedgehog, I would 1000% go through granite state, and waiting for more hedgehogs to be available would be more worth it than finding a different place to get your hedgie. Sam and his dog Blue definitely make the overall experience better as well!!! It is very clear that they handle and socialize their hedgehogs frequently as well which is a major, MAJOR plus. Thank you granite state for giving me the best hedgehog I could ask for!!!!!!

Sam and his Blue (who is extremely sweet) met us outside of normal business hours to pick up our hedgehog. We were extremely appreciative of his willingness to be accommodating! He spent a great deal of time with us making sure our almost 10 year old and both parents were comfortable handling Scout. He went over the most important things we needed to know and sent me information via e-mail that we have already referred to several times in caring for our new addition. We also bought the ultimate cage package from Granite State. I highly recommend it! It came with all the basics! Sam even went so far as to check the heat lamp before we left to be sure Scout had a working lamp when we arrived home. Communication with Granite State Hedgehogs is also quick and easy through their chat function on the website. I communicated with them several times, and found them to be very responsive and helpful. I cannot recommend Granite State Hedgehogs!

I am beyond pleased. Never having owned a hedgehog before, I researched...watched videos...and thoroughly thought this through. I was so nervous. Would my hedgehog like me? Would this be a difficult adjustment for her? Would I regret this? Nope. Not at all! It's my first night with this precious baby and she is just the sweetest. Totally comfortable with me and my husband. Eating her food, drinking her water, very much loves when I hold her next to my chest, wrapped in my favorite bathrobe. She's just a baby but has an amazing personality and a great trust with me. I love this little soul so much. I highly recommend this breeder.

I absolutely looooooved my experience at Granite State Hedgehogs! It was a 2 hour drive for me but it was well worth it. They are so professional and knowledgeable, nice, and personable. The location is clean and appealing. She was willing to meet me when it was almost ready to close and there was someone after me, so they can be flexible with appointments due to COVID. I picked out Peppermint, and he was such a sweet lil man. Of course he's alittle huffy now that he's in a new environment but he is still amazing and I love him.I came into Granite State Hedgehogs with a whole list of questions and while she was going through all the information about hedgehogs she managed to answer all my questions without me even having to ask. She is always willing to answer questions over chat and responds quickly and is willing to work with you with any issues. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a hedgehogs, and if I ever want another one I know where to go!

If I could give Jay and Ayane’s shop 100 stars, I would! First off, I’ve had hedgehogs in the past (purchased from your average pet shop), sadly both my hedgehogs passed away in under a week because the breeder had no idea what he was doing when he sold them to the pet shop and they were sick when sold to me (I was only 15 years old and devastated). The pet stores’ response was “must have been a bad batch”. That being said, I’ve waited years to commit to another hedgehog. I finally took my chances and found GSH on google. I immediately fell in love with Olaf and purchased right away! (I recommend buying the ultimate cage setup because it comes with EVERYTHING!!) I was so in love with Olaf, that I came back about two months later and purchased another hedgehog, Dakota!! I can’t thank the owners enough! They are so friendly and ALWAYS take the time to answer my questions on the chat/phone and they never rush me! I’ve NEVER experienced the amount of help these owners have given from any other pet expert! This shop is so wholesome and family oriented, I love it! I will be back to purchase more perfect hedgehogs!! Thank you guys so much, I can’t get enough!! I even drove two hours to pick up Dakota up and it was so worth it!! DON’T go anywhere else to get your baby!! Jay and Ayane know exactly what they’re doing!!!

We just got Brillo from Granite State Hedgehogs and could not be happier. He was delivered right to our home in Maine. Jay came in, set up the cage, and willingly and knowledgeably answered all our questions. Brillo is settling in so nicely. He is friendly, cuddly, active, and funny. We could definitely tell he was handled daily and well taken care of. We are totally in love and have already recommended Granite State Hedgehogs to our friends. The experience was wonderful and easy, from beginning to end! Thank you!

The owner met us after hours when we didn't realize there were special Covid policies in place, which was very kind. She was very knowledgeable and walked me through the care sheet that she emailed me, and also said she is available for any questions that come up. Biscuit was clearly well socialized, because he snuggled right in and is very easy to handle. He seems healthy so far.

17:22 02 Feb 21
Staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. You could tell they are very good to their animals and that they’re well socialized, as hedgehogs are very timid animals and all of there’s were extremely friendly! My hedgehog is adorable, friendly, cuddly, and seems very healthy. Eating, drinking, playing right off the bat. I would highly recommend them if you’re looking for a hedgehog.

It was totally worth the 4 hour drive! They sell all the hedgehog essentials and I enjoyed how knowledgeable they are. They tell you everything you need to know and their website is set up really well! There is a live chat function available on the site and it is easily navigated.

I have been watching the available babies for a few years and I knew I wanted a baby but I kept putting it off. I recent saw Arya and I absolutely fell in love and I knew it was time to take the plunge. I put my deposit down and made my appointment to pick her up. I went yesterday to get her and Ayane couldn’t have been more helpful. She was patient while both Arya and I met, and gave me useful tips on caring for my new baby. I didn’t have many questions because so much was carefully explained to me but I was assured that if I did have any questions they would gladly answer them for me. I was able to buy everything I needed for Arya’s set up and I now her all set up in her new home. My family has all fallen in love with Arya. I can’t recommend Granite State Hedgehogs enough. Everyone who has seen pictures of Arya have fallen in love with her and a few people have asked where I got her and I’m sending them directly to Jay and Ayane!

The owners are amazing and have a wonderful shop. It's mostly about the hedgehogs but there were supplies for other animals as well and a bakery case that made me drool. Their website is fantastic and packed full of anything you would need to know about taking care of hedgehogs. Even though that info is there, they were both kind and patient to answer all of our questions. When we picked up the baby my daughter picked we were told what everything was and how to set it up. You can tell that they really care about the animals and that they were well taken care of. It was a great experience and we look forward to going back. I can't recommend them enough!

We saw Ayane when we went to pick up my daughter's baby and she could not have been any nicer. Both owners are extremely nice, knowledgeable, kind and patient. She spent an unlimited amount of time with us and answered all of our questions. There is so much information available from them and we were told to contact them anytime for questions or help. The store is adorable and offers so many great products and the prices are great! It was a bit of a ride for us but would never hesitate to go there. I highly recommend them. You can tell that they really care about animals and it shows.

Granite State Hedgehogs is great! I picked up my little one less than a week ago. She is the sweetest thing. She has not become an angry spiky ball at all since I’ve brought her home. I I love their web chat function as well. They respond quickly and gladly answer any questions. They even emailed me once they had listed more female babies. Their hedgehogs are backed by a fantastic health guarantee. This is so important as too many hedgehogs succumb to terrible diseases from poor breeding. They have a lifetime wobbly hedgehog health guarantee! They were incredibly thorough with all of the information they presented me, and you can tell they put a lot of time and care into their hedgehogs.

Love this store! They have a variety of food, toys, cages and equipment to give a hedgehog a lovely home. Great, caring, and friendly staff. Affordable pricing and great customer service and support! The staff is knowledgeable on hedgehogs, which is of course, very important.

I went into the store in October to have a look around as I was new to the area and heard about this store from some friends and coworkers, I walked in just to have a look around and was in awe of how many they had! They were all so cute! The owner was extremely friendly and helped me hold one, I was so happy to be holding an animal I’ve always wanted, the one I held I instantly fell in love with and would not put her down, I ended up buying my precious Addison and the cage package to bring my little baby home! I’ve had her for about 9 months now and I have never regretted visiting that amazing store!

Been to their store twice. One was just to walk in, handle and learn about hedgehogs. Second was to pick up my amazing Pickles (formerly Elijah) and the ultimate cage set. I’ve had him for a week now but because of the owners I feel confident in my little hog and my handling skills. The store was neat and clean, they were professional, and apologetic for being a few minutes late. Even though I was the one that was early.
One very small issue, but doesn’t affect my review, is I didn’t receive everything listed on the ultimate cage setup. But I think it is because the owners had just opened up and I was breathing down their neck. It’s not a big deal, but maybe in the future GSH could run through and make sure everything on the list is given.
Again a very minor issue, and doesn’t affect the review because they were so sweet and well knowledgeable.

These guys are great. Jay was very patient and answered all my questions and being a first time hedgie owner I had a few! When I took my hedgie for his first vet visit she was impressed with how easy he was to handle. I would definitely recommend.

My experience was great they were very nice and informative they answered every question we had and gave us plenty of suggestions and some care info.the shop was amazingly kept it was clean and a very cute little place. And the hedgehogs were socialized very well I got my willow there and she is so friendly. So if anybody is looking into getting a hedgehog I recommend granite state hedgehogs.

What a great place! I just got my baby yesterday. She is so lovey. Our first hedgie wanted nothing to do with us at first was huffy and puffy. You could tell he wasn't handled much. She is the exact opposite. You can tell they handle them often so they are not so scared. I went to hold her for the first time and all she wanted to do was snuggle. The owner was so helpful with any questions we had. An amazing experience!

We picked up a hedgehog a few days ago and it was a great experience! The owners are very friendly and knowledgeable about hedgehogs. The shop has everything that you need to get set up and is nice and clean and organized. They also continue to answer questions even after you've purchased the hedgehog. The hedgehog is very sociable and smart and we are very much enjoying him.

I can’t recommend them enough! I’ve had my little hedgie for a couple of months now and she is just so friendly and smart! She litter trained with ease, she doesn’t mind the bath, she puts up little to no fight when having her nails done, her vet says she’s the best behaved hedgehog they see, she loves snuggles, and even puts her nose out for kisses practically on demand! Her happy chirps and hiccups have lit up our lives in a way we never could have anticipated. The love and attention Granite State gives their babies is abundantly evident!

I got my baby girl Penelope here a year ago and I would recommend it to anyone interested in getting a hedgehog! The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable, they were able to answer all my questions and their cage packages are great for starting you out with everything you’ll need for your new baby! They’re also available to live chat at anytime with any questions or concerns you may have and they even board your baby if you’re going on vacation! I wouldn’t go anywhere else for another hedgie baby, hands down the best!

Granite State Hedgehog was amazing. My daughter has been asking to get a hedgehog for a very long time and after much research we decided to take a road trip to meet these little ones. We couldn’t resist our little Phoebe and she has been home for 5 days now and love her to pieces! Samantha and Jay were knowledgeable and helped us through the adoption process. They were both fantastic and didn’t mind answering all our questions! We recommend them to anyone looking to adopt these unique, fun animals!

Thank you Sam and Jay for all of your help today with picking out our first hedgehog �.

Also thank you to your children who were also very helpful. �

We just got our first hedgehog from them this morning, but over the past few weeks, they've been terrific with answering all our questions and helping us make sure a hedgie would be a good fit in our household. Terrific customer handling, a well kept shop, and healthy, active little hedgehogs made the experience of doing business with them extremely positive. Thank you so much!

I bought my first hedgehog here and I did research on hedgehogs before, but this place goes above and beyond with informing you about the care and maintenance of hedgehogs!

Great place and very knowledgeable! We adopted a hedgehog from someone who couldn’t care for it anymore and even thou we did not adopt a hedgehog from them they were more than willing to spend the time with us and provide us with all the information we needed to reintroduce her to human contact. I highly recommend them to anyone who has or is looking to adopt a hedgehog � thank you for all your help today!

If I could give this place more than 5 stars then I would! About a month and a half ago I lost my rescue hedgehog to cancer. After one night of not listening to his wheel go, I decided that I needed to have a hedgehog in my life. I then contacted Samantha and luckily she had a litter that was available that Saturday! I was beyond excited. After putting down my deposit and picking out Daphnie I was beyond excited. Daphnie has been the best pet ever and has turned into a little diva! I can’t thank Samantha or Jay enough for all their help! I highly recommend them to everyone!

I purchased my Hedgehog Link from Granite State. I looked all over for where to buy one and found their Facebook. Its reviews convinced me to buy from here. I'm so happy I did. The support after I brought Link home is above and beyond what I expected. They are always willing to answer any and all questions all the time. If you want a hedgehog you couldn't make a better choice than Granite State.

What a great experience we had when we went to visit on Saturday. Talk about knowlegable... the owners are so nice and know their stuff. We had intentions of getting a baby but decided to go with an older hedgehog because everyone tends to want the babies. She got all situated with us at home and seems to be pretty content. Thank you for the great experience we will highly recommend you!

I picked up my little boy Chester yesterday I drove 5 hours to get to Granite State Hedgehogs shop, such a cute little shop. Not only was it very clean and professional, both Sam and her husband were so knowledgeable and helpful. I was very confident in leaving with my cute new little pet and even learned a few things while I was there. I've had him for 1 day now and Sam has been nothing but helpful when I have questions, I just shoot her a text and she is more than willing to lend out a helping hand and suggestions when in need. I really do believe they deserve more than 5 stars, such an incredible family of hedgehog breeders, if I'm ever in need of supplies or anything at all, i'll definitely be going to them first.

My fiance and I are getting a hedgehog and in doing our research we don't feel comfortable getting one from anywhere but here. We've been in to the shop numerous times to hold and play with the hedgehogs and every time we ask tons of questions and Sam is always there to answer and inform us. They carry everything you need for your hog and made sure you are well prepared for your new pet! I highly recommend stopping in for a visit and if you are looking for a hedgie, look no further than granite state hedgehogs!

Deciding to get a hedgehog has completely changed my life for the better. I got my hedgehog Harley from granite state hedgehogs on my 18th birthday and I had the most amazing experience with the company. They were so helpful to answer all of my questions even after bringing my little girl home. I would call them all the time just asking questions and being like is this normal? And they would reassure me completely if you’re thinking of getting a hedgehog please do it through this company. They are amazing

Granite state hedgehogs was helpful from the moment I started thinking about purchasing a hedgie. From being available online to telling me everything I need to know when I got there to pick up Daisy, it was well worth the 3 hr drive. Wouldn't change a thing!

Our new baby, Pumpkin, is the sweetest little Hedgie and you can tell that GSH cares about all of the animals and their well being. The store is clean, smells fresh and they're friendly and answer all of your questions and encourage you to visit with the hedgies. The animals are all healthy, happy and very pleasant.
What impressed me as well is how when I called to make a deposit, my phone number is from a state which hedgehogs are illegal (I moved to NH from PA) and they asked me about the number just to double check. I appreciated that they care enough about their animals to ask about that.
I'd definitely do business with them again and would recommend to friends and family.

I purchased my first hedgie through Granite State and it was a seamless process! I had done lots of research about adopting hedgies and how so many people adopted them after coming from a bad home and how challenging it can be when adopting one from an unreliable source. Our Betty is happy and healthy and we are so in love. They are also there for any follow up questions and advice that you might have with your new baby. If I ever adopt a second one, I will definitely go to Granite State!

Granite State Hedgehogs is amazing! I always wanted a Hedgehog but I didn't feel comfortable getting one from just anywhere (people I knew had bad experiences). I found Granite State and they are so knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process. And it's awesome to be able to ask them questions and they always get back to me so quickly. We got everything we needed right there in the store along with our little hedgehog baby! We got our Rosie in August and we love her so much. She is the most friendly and cuddly hedgehog! She's sleeping in my lap as I type this ☺️We couldn't be happier. I would recommend Granite State hedgehog to anyone looking for a great new family member. You won't be disappointed!

I lost my first hedgehog to WHS and the breeder was unsupportive and frankly didn't care (she suggested Penny just wasn't warm enough even after the countless vet visits). Needless to say, after my first experience I was hesitant about getting another one. Samantha and Jay were responsive and answered all of my questions thoughtfully. You can tell they're genuine people who love what they do! I picked up Pearl in June and she is such a love bug. She wants nothing more than to snuggle in your lap all day and gobble down mealworms. Oh and her colors are beautiful!! I've never seen one like her before. I'm so thankful for them - I will be going back to them for all my future hedgehogs!

Awesome place, extremely helpful, and the animals are both adorable and very well taken care of. My little albino guy is so happy and healthy, and already settling in really well in his new home. I was also able to get all of the information and supplies I needed directly from the facility. Obviously hedgehogs aren't the pet for everyone, but if you're planning to get one, this is the place to go!

They were great through the whole waiting period until Athena arrived. We live in New York so it was a bit of a drive to go get her, and they made sure we had what we needed for bringing her home. We picked her up back in April and she has become a great part of the family. She's handled every day and is an inquisitive, cuddly little bundle of spikes. If we ever decide to get Athena a playmate we will be going with then again!

Couldn't have asked for better support and advice. Samantha answered all of my relentless questions and I was able to make appointments to visit my baby as often as I liked! Would definitely recommend this facility to anyone interested in getting a hedgehog and will get my future ones from here!

Love them. We have an albino female named Luna, she is the cutest little thing, day two and I can pick her up without much issue. Looking forward to bonding with her. Jay and Samantha were great! Living in Maine, they helped me with the permits and put up with all my questions. They even let me one get her the very day I got approved. Luna is healthy and I feel great knowing I can ask them for advice anytime I need to. I'd go to them again in a heartbeat!

I brought my little baby home about a month ago now, he's happy and healthy and has already grown so much! Jay and Samantha were wonderful and willing to answer all of my incessant questions every step of the way, I couldn't ask for anything better. He was clearly very well cared for and handled often, because he warmed up to me immediately. Still not fond of baths, but we're working on that. Thanks so much guys!

Our little guy is so handsome and even though he's a little grumpy with us tonight, probably due to the dog smells and new home and all, he still loves to be held. Thank you Jay and Samantha!

My hedgie is so loving and loves to be held. They were so helpful to me and answered every question I had! I will definitely be coming back if I ever want to purchase another one :)

My little hedgie is the cutest. He's very sweet. Such a great hedgehog. The breeders answered all of my questions I asked and gave me detail on all of them. Very good experience!
