ahem. my sister lives in england and complains regularly about the hedgehog sex life going on on her compost heap.
true story. apparently the answer to 'how do hedgehogs do it' is 'very VERY loudly'. not surprising, i guess.0 -
I've never seen a hedgehog in the wild. I don't believe they are native to North America.0

Not native to Australia ..so not seen them
Looks like you have plenty of experts willing to impart their knowledge though ..lol0 -
There are seventeen species of hedgehog in five genera, found through parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa, and in New Zealand by introduction. There are no hedgehogs native to Australia, and no living species native to the Americas (the extinct genus Amphechinus was once present in North America).

It is a very important topic, please be serious. A girl can't have any meaningful relationship until she's clear on her hedgehog values2 -

They must be extinct which saddens me deeply.
I live in England and have seen a lot of hedgehogs.where do you live?
Also, hedgehogs are primarily nocturnal, try looking in bushes during the day, just don't act sketchy when doing so.
Unless you mean the other hedgehog urban dictionary definition...then...I dunno. I heard somebody had two ribs taken out so that they could achieve it.
I live in Brighton. Can hedgehogs swim?
OK I will ask them nicely to reveal themselves before me, and then engage them in casual conversation being careful not to cause suspicion.0 -

England here too. I've seen one once about 30 yrs ago. It was adorable but covered in fleas. They are becoming much rarer now, possibly endangered and they've been on the news lately regarding this.

They have been very scarce this Year, normally get a few in the garden driving the dog insane but none at all. Did see a couple in marshy areas though where I'd never seen them before!0

never seen one in the wild before ever! though, working in an animal hospital we see pet hedgies from time to time, I think they adorable!0
-
We have a family of woodchucks that live under our shed out back. My dogs keep wanting to play with them lol. No hedgehogs though.0
-
Now if you'd asked about foxes and squirrels!? They're all over the place, come right up to my kitchen door to look at me. And I'm in London, not the countryside at all.1

I've heard that the numbers are decreasing because people are paving their gardens and putting up walls instead of having hedges. This means the hogs can't wander through the hedges to meet other hogs.0
