Do Hedgehog Spikes Hurt?

  • Simply put: no. Hedgehogs are not juvenile porcupines, they are their own type of animal that aren’t related to porcupines. While their quills (technically spines, but the terms are often used interchangeably) may look scary, and are a defense mechanism in the wild, they don’t hurt humans, and aren’t dangerous.

    I have two hedgehogs in my front garden and I leave food out and water for them . I've called one of them spiky and he answers to his name. Got use to it. The other week I had the pair of them sitting on my door mat. So cute.

      I've been thinking about sinking a pot into the ground and using it to feed birds and my tortise by putting another pot in it and having the food replaceable
      Like a quick switch fresh food feeder
      Check out "permaculture"
      People make the entire way to their front door a forest of food giving plants

    I have a hedgehog. When you first get it, and it is stressed or scared, it’s spikes will be very painful! You will get used to them and they will get used to you. Until then, those spikes are very painful to touch. I would use its snuggle sack to pick her up then put her in my hand to uncurl. That was painful though
