When people see a hedgehog's sharp quills (more accurately called spines), they immediately envision a porcupine that actually ejects its quills when they feel threatened. Even after assuring them that they are not about to be embedded with a bunch of sharp quills, they still wonder do hedgehogs hurt your hands when you hold them? It's only natural to be fearful of sharp objects, so Quilly answers the question of whether or not hedgehogs hurt.
Here's The Transcript from “Do Hedgehogs Hurt?”:
Hey hedgie fans. One of my visitors at heavenlyhedgies.com recently asked, “Do hedgehogs hurt?”.
That’s a really good question. Even though we don’t mean to, sometimes we get afraid.
And when hedgehogs get scared, they curl into a tight ball.
And that makes a hedgie’s quills stick out in all directions.
So when you try to pick them up, you could hurt your hands if you aren’t gentle.
Hedgehogs are really very friendly, once we get to know you.Please keep those questions coming.
