When adopting an adult, many things factor into how social the hedgehog will be. It is likely that an adult hedgehog will not bond with you. Hedgehogs are smooth brain animals which means they really don't "learn." Scientifically a smooth brain tells us they are pretty much hardwired for their instincts. They "react" rather than "learn or think." As adults, a hedgehog's brain is fully developed and is less likely to imprint you in it. In some cases, like with reverse pintos, they tend to be more social regardless of age. In other cases, owning a retired breeder may be simply the whimsy of owning a hedgehog. This isn't a bad thing, as a hedgie can be very entertaining to watch!
Please keep in mind that owning a retired adult is not ok for some kids. Adopting an adult sometimes isn't the best for 1st time hedgehog owner either. PLEASE read the description of each hedgehog before submitting a reservation form.
