Yes, in pet stores.
I personally consider the pet stores to be evil as hell- they'll sell any animal as long as it's legal, without regard to the welfare of the animal. I bought a kitten who was probably about four to six weeks old, and they claimed him to be eight weeks. He was visibly younger than that, and had some issues as a result of being separated from his mother too young.
My own preference is to get an animal from an individual where I can see the parent animal and know that they've been cared for properly. But nonetheless there are LOTS of puppy and kitten factories and places that sell "exotic" animals like hedgehogs.
