Do they have Hedgehogs in the U.S.A. ???

Question

I have one in my garden and was just wondering...

Answer 1

yes there are hedgehogs here...not so sure that they run around wild though.  ive never had a problem with them before.

Answer 2

Hedgehogs are only native to Eurasia and Africa. Some were introduced to New Zealand and live in the wild there. There are no wild hedgehog species that live in North America, however, a hybrid of African species is a popular pet there. They are different from European hedgehogs - the kind in your garden - but are closely related. It is now illegal to import any species of wild hedgehog to the USA.

Answer 3

No hedgehog is native to north America

Answer 4

Only as pets - they're not native.

Answer 5

i don't know, but should they live there how are they different from ours in the uk. they may be bigger (everything american is bigger), and they could be a danger to traffic as road kill.
