Since hedgies aren't a common pet, many people wonder, “What is a hedgehog?” They're very curious looking and those quills can be rather intimidating. They almost look like they might be related to a porcupine, but they're not. Watch this short video to learn more about this unique animal.

Here's The Transcript from “What Is A Hedgehog?”:

Hey hedgie fans! One of the most common questions that people ask is: “what is a hedgehog?”

Since I am a hedgehog, I know a lot about this.
Hedgehogs are warm blooded mammals and we have spiky quills that are also called spines. This helps discourage anything that might try to hurt us.
We are fairly harmless. We’re actually very cuddly and loving once we get to know you.
There are several kinds of hedgehogs in the world. The hedgehogs that are most often pets are African pygmy hedgehogs. Although there are other types of hedgehogs that make a fine companion too.
