I don't have hedgehogs right now, but I did several years ago when I was in high school. They are highly entertaing! As far as taming as long as you're getting them from a good breeder they usually have gotten a lot of attention and do well. The female that I had was a handful when I first got her, but with some gentle handling daily she calmed down. She would only let me handle her though lol. Unfortunately she died a few weeks after giving birth to 4 babies I had to finish hand raising them, but they were incredibly tame hedgehogs!! I miss them a lot. If you have any questions send me a message, I'd be happy to answer them for you.

I don't think they would make good feeders due to all the spikes.

Seriously, saw one at a friends house recently and very cute. A bit messy but cute.

I just got a few over the weeknd, I love watching them sniff around and explore stuff. two of them are really tame but one is a little less tame. She huffs and puffs but she calms down pretty quick once you finally get her picked up. they are definitely cool though. I just can't wait for the bumble bee hedge hog. haha

now that you guys hav told me this...i really cant wait to to get my little hedgieee...lol
they seem to make great pets if tamed down...and a bumblebee hedghoge would be quite a sight lol
