Answer 3

If you are allowed to own other slightly exotic animals I wouldn't think you would need one. For future knowledge, hedgehogs aren't rodents, but they are very, very cool animals.

*Just as rats and hamsters have been domesticated, so have hedgehogs. The question isn't asking if the need a liscense to own a wild one.*

**Seriously? Once again, Emma, in the wild they are different than they are as pets. My brothers Hedgehog is very clean and a wonderful pet!!!! A hedgehog as a pet wouldn't come in contact with mites or anything of the sort. **

Answer 4

I don't know about the if it's legal or not as I'm from Scotland where you see wild hedgehogs all the time but I wouldn't recommend one as a pet. They're very unhygienic and the can get hundreds of little parasites and bugs in their spikes.

Answer 5

it depends. hedgehogs aren't rodents. so try asking somewhere else next time.

Answer 6

Yes, But you have to have a concealed weapons permit.
