Patriot Pogs is a small, USDA licensed  family run hobby breeder of African pygmy hedgehogs. Formerly Hedgeboken Hedgehogs, we are now located in Lunenburg, Massachusetts. Our goal is to raise happy, healthy and well socialized hedgehogs in a home environment.  People are always welcome to make an appointment to come and meet our hedgehogs and/or choose their baby in person. Elana has an MSW in Social Work and Jason an MBA. This is a labour (yes I'm Canadian) of love for us.
I do not do "open houses" because of the kids, but I happily do individual/family educational sessions via appointment

My most sincere apologies to those who have sent in questionnaires over most of April. I just changed phones and all my email correspondence between March 20th and this afternoon has fallen off the information superhighway. I feel terrible. Please email me and feel free to berate me for my lack of skills, It was a poor spring with few babies and I am starting fresh today with most. PLEASE just forward me the questionnaire, do not do extra

Sorry there havent been updates but we didnt have babies until a litter was born on 3/1. No info on color or sexes yet. Mom is pretty possesive but if she gets upset goes pacing and i'd rather she concentrated on nursing. The info will be released once they are 2-3 weeks old.  Mom is a dark eyed reverse pinto and dad is a grey snowflake. Expect a rainbow. The wacky weather swings and pressure changes have affected the moms and sometimes, no matter what we do, mother nature wins out. Winter is not the time to have babies according to nature.

We do have babies with a litter born last week and another this week. the babies can be reserved and put on hold.The wait list involves those who have come out here, filled out their application and handle hedgehogs well,new or replacement, love is the match,

we have a very few babies left, a cottie boy, an albino female and one, possibly two chocolate.  I Hope everyone is settling back in school. we have a few summer babies to find good homes for before we start breeding for the fall and winter. The babies page may have price surprises, but you need an application on record to be able to put down a deposit or buy. Friday during the day is an option if you have a flexible schedule, if not Saturday has limited times due to kids parties but sunday is wide open. Babies come with food, a tube and as much support and advice is needed. If you are thinking about  a baby near dx

Standard and reverse pintos, also two albino looking babies with a few banded quills. super friendly and a great friend for someone who wants a friendly gentle baby.

We have some new exciting males to announce. A dark eyed white and  a dark eyed uber pinto who's markings are dark grey. We are also hoping for some nice dark babies from Ulla. We have one reverse pinto girl with dark eyes who is on sale for 125$. She is sweet and friendly, but much more inclined to be a pet than a breeder. 1 of Dumbelinas babies and 2 of Allegria's babies will soon be posted as well and deposits are being taken.

We have a few reverse pinto babies who are ready to go home this weekend. markings range from under 10 banded quills to dorsal lines. The banded quills are a light brown, sort of like alpine milk chocolate, or milk chocolate cake mix powder. The babies are approximately 8 weeks old and are priced at 150$for May 14th and 15th only. You must have submitted an application, and visits are by appointment only. Cash only please. Babies have a 2 week health warranty and a bag of food that lasts 7-10 days.

Yay, May is here. Time for warm weather! The only white things around here are the reverse pintos that are going to be ready to leave on the 6th of may. Their half silblings (same dad), who look just like them, are expected to be ready around Memorial day.

one concussion from this lovely melting snow followed up by a quasi broken foot after dropping a TV on it have had me out of touch for the past week. Please be patient as I catch up and I wont lift more than a hedgehog cage again!

Some of Lurleens babies will be ready to go next weekend. Wendys soon after. the 2 light babies from Lurleens litter are available and one dark and one light babies from Wendy's. Also still my silver brown beauty born 11/26. She would be excellent for a family or kid.

I'm working on getting pics of the litters up. The babies have had some deposits placed on them. One female silver brown girl ready to go from late november's litters. She was slow to grow and is petite but very healthy, acvtive and sweet.

STOMACH BUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you had thought about coming this weekend, better check in. The local bug going around is a tummy troubles one. Of course there are gorgeous babies born at the start of the month. lots of colors and some very dark ones that may snowflake.
An obscene amount of blackberries and rebuilt computers and i'm now online again.
one dark grey pinto male and  a chocolate/cottie girl are all that are here. both under 2 months. pics to come. Male is so dark is not even funny. next babies expected to be born in early feb.

For those of you with babies on hold, some are weaning and many are very close.  Feel free to email me for more information.  Our computer problems do continue though.  We are taking from Tuesday the 21st  until the following Tuesday, DEcember 28th, as a break. Baby pick ups are welcome, but this is our "vacation" so to speak.  We are here for questions ect, but we're taking a week for family.  I'll answer emails ect, just promised the family a hedgie free weekend. Happy Holidays to all!

Thanks!

One adorable  cinancot girl left from the last batch of babies. When she goes home,  the next babies will be ready in around six weeks. Deposits will be taken once the babies eyes are open.

10/25/2010
We still have a few babies left for sale. They are very sweet and not going to be around much longer. When these sell, its going to be a wait before there are more babies available.  We're breeding for them, but fall/winter breedings are challenging

Happy 35th  birthday to Jason. The greatest partner in all sorts of crime that a girl could ever have! He gets the week off helping with cages.
