I'm so happy to announce we FINALLY have babies in the nest again. 🎉 Bridget has given us a litter of 6 yesterday! This is her first litter and she's being a wonderful mom.🥰

If you are interested in a baby or a retired adult, please fill out an adoption application. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeClq7L1ZTRm_QdLoleE7sFWukiXFTPODme8vZoW9JngMG_7g/viewform?usp=header

Special note: nest is always undisturbed for these sneak peak pics, cams are attached to the top of the nest box.

Announcement: I've decided to move the website away from wix. I am taking this opportunity to update the care guides and finish out pages that never got my complete attention. I was really hoping to have all this done before the end of August 🤣. I'm still working hard on it, I promise, but it's probably going to be at least another two or more weeks. In the meantime, the old website is still there, but the domain is currently https://pixiepets.wixsite.com/pixiepets . The new website will be keeping the regular domain as I still own that but is not active until I publish it.

Welcome to Pixie Pets! I am a hobby breeder of exotic pets, mainly African Pygmy Hedgehogs. Located in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Sadly neither of my pairings have produced litters this season. So while I don't have any babies, I do have 2 adults looking for their retirement homes. Both of these beautiful hogs are on the easier side and would make great pets for a first time owner!

Both of these litters turned out fantastic!
These babies will be ready to go home in just a few short weeks. Kalani's litter (NDxK) should be ready by 2/17, Helena's litter (FxH) the following week. Babies need to hit 200g to go home. Both litters are already weaning and gaining like champs!

I do still have adults available at reduced prices.

Rest in Peace Brian, you were an inspiration to so many and will be greatly missed throughout the entire community!

On behalf of the Barczyk family and our entire team at The Reptarium, it is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved Brian Barczyk.

More than the guiding light of our organization, Brian's fervent passion for reptiles and wildlife, along with his steadfast dedication to education, has touched innumerable hearts and minds globally.

Our deepest sympathies are with Brian's family, his friends, and all those whose lives he has touched. We've lost an exceptional individual – a visionary, mentor, and friend. For those of us who had the privilege of working alongside him, Brian's absence leaves an immeasurable void.
As we navigate this difficult time, we find comfort in the memories and the lasting light of Brian's work. He will be deeply missed but indeed, never forgotten.

The Barczyk family invites you to join us for a Public Memorial Walk-through to honor Brian’s memory. The event will be held on Wednesday, January 17, 2024, at Heritage Church, located at 44625 Schoenherr Rd. Sterling Heights, MI 48313 from 1-3pm.

In lieu of flowers, the family encourages you to show your support by visiting https://thereptarium.com/pages/brianbarczyk . Your engagement and involvement are greatly valued during this time.

Also, at LegaSea's opening, visitors will find Brian's handprints. Guests place their hands in his, continuing his legacy in a simple, yet powerful gesture. Please continue to follow this page for updates.

Brian, we will see you in the next one. Everyone else, see you at LegaSea.

- The Reptarium Team.
