Will hedgehogs poke you?

Question

do hedgehogs poison you if theyre domesticated? or if you are their owner will the prick you?

Answer 1

No, only if you poke them.

No, they don't poison anyone, even if you eat them.  Domesticated or otherwise.

You don't own a hedgehog.  They might visit/prick you though.

Answer 2

It is legal to own domesticated hedgehogs in most states. Hedgehogs do have quills though, which makes them not very easy to pet. If you touch a quill then it will "poke" you but mostly it doesn't actually hurt. However, a hedgehog will not go out of his way to poke you with his pointy quills to cause you harm, lol.

Answer 3

Um... hedgehogs do not carry a poison...

They will roll into a ball so that if you hold them, their needles will hurt you, but this is only if it is detressed. Simply respect it, and don't over-handle it, and it will never become destressed.
