I once had a hedgehog. My father found it on the road and brought it
home to my mother (she loves hedgehogs) thinking he would let it go
later that night. When he went out to let the little bugger he found
another one and brought them both back. Apparenltly they were a family
before they were brought home (the female probably went seeking that
drunk the male afther he didn't come home for dinner) because mother
hedgehog gave birth to three just two days after they arrived. Living
with a family of hedgehogs and four (at the time) cats can be fun esp.
in a two-room appartment :) That is, when the male hedgehod doesn't
try do dig a hole in the concrete floor (which he almost succeeded at
but he hit the steel armature and gave up). They wreaked havoc on all
the roaches for quite a while ahead.

The bottomline is that a hedgehog can be as nice as any other pet. At
least before they start chewing on a roach in 2 am, anyway.
