margaret! When hedgehogs are not tame, they do not like you petting them, so they roll up into a prickly ball of spines (aka quills) and if you try to run your hand over the spines then, it hurts! When a hedgehog is unrolled, and tame, it totally doesn't hurt when you do that. It feels cool. Just like what my hedgehog lets me do. Hegdehog spines are not venomous, of course! You'd be amazed on how many people think that (where I live LOL)! Sorry everyone, I'm getting off topic. Congrats again to our pet of the day, Solitare! Yippie yaa yay yeahhhh! LMAO
