The hedgehog is a year and a half old. Super sweet but the more you hold her the more loving and less skittish she will be. The 500 dollar price includes the hedgehog it’s self the cage, bedding, a heat lamp, food and water bowls, a hut, and running ball and a wheel. I would keep her but I’m going to college and I am not allowed to have her. I honestly just want her to be loved and cared about.
