Quill Valley Exotics Priority Waitlist Info
What is a waitlist?
A waitlist is a list of people who are very interested in getting a baby animal, & who wants to be put on a list to be the ones that the breeder will first contact when babies are born, & when deposits can be placed on available babies, to ensure that the person receives a baby.
We don't open our priority waitlist for tenrecs until we have babies in the nest that are at least a week old. Our waitlist is a paid waitlist. In order to get placed on this waitlist you need to fill out our pre-adoption questionnaire & submit it for review. We will be in touch with you in at least 72 hours after you submit your questionnaire to discuss your answers & any questions you may have.
Once you become an approved adopter, & you’ve read though our Adoption Process, & we have babies in the nest that are at least a week old, then we will send you a Paypal invoice via email which will include the $75.00 Non-Refundable Deposit Fee (which is applied to the final cost of the tenrec) to reserve your place on the waitlist if you'd like to join it. Remaining balance of the tenrec is due at pick up of the tenrec but can be paid prior to pickup via PayPal if wanted, we accept Cash or PayPal only for payment at pickups.
Being on our Priority Wait List, allows you to have first pick of available babies over the general public. But we the breeder reserve the right to choose from our litters first.
Our waitlist is only for when we have babies available, we don’t do waitlists for specific litters because breeding is too unpredictable & sometimes litters don’t have viable babies in them. It would be unethical for us to do waitlists for specific litters.
When the expected babies are born, we will contact those that have filled out our pre-adoption questionnaire & let you know that babies are in the nest. When the babies are around 1 week old we will contact everyone who filled out the pre-adoption questionnaire to ask if you'd like to join the priority waitlist. Once babies are 2-3 weeks old we will contact those on our waitlist with photos of the available babies for you to choose from if you are comfortable choosing an unsexed baby. Tenrecs can only be sexed via DNA test, the testing process time varies due to the laboratory being in another country. Testing results are sent to the lab when babies are 2-2,5 weeks old, the results can take anywhere from 1 week up to 2 months to come in. I will go down the waitist in order of who put their deposit down & contact each person to ask which baby they would like to choose, from the ones available. You will then have 24 hours to respond with your pick, if you do not respond within 24 hours with your pick we will assume you’re no longer interested & move on to the next person on the list (in order). *But you will not be bumped off the waitlist if you don't choose a baby, we will keep your deposit valid unless you tell us to remove you from the waitlist .*
Any Questions, Please Free to ask.
***Quill Valley Exotics reserves the right to make any changes to this contract and any other written policy's with out notice, & to Refuse Service to anyone. Any animal that is Neglected/Abused or there was a Breech in Contract will be removed from the Buyers care without notice, & Legal action will be be taken if necessary (at the buyers cost). We will go over everything you need to know at the time of pickup. But in the future if you have any question please feel free to ask! We love our animals, & only want what is best for them. So we screen our clients thoroughly to make sure that our animals are going to great homes where they will be loved & well taken care of.***

What Our Clients Are Saying
"Victoria is extremely responsive and knowledgeable. I appreciate that she takes the time to thoroughly answer all questions, and no question is considered trivial. When we decided to get a hedgehog from her, she gave us frequent updates and helped make sure we were fully prepared before we brought home our hedgehog. She assisted me in knowing exactly what food, toys, and cage components were needed. As the babies grew, she did a great job of handling them and socializing them. I can't speak highly enough! We love our hedgehog!"
