They don't naturally occur in New Zealand and from what I can tell theyve been banned from being imported to New Zealand and Australia. I found this on a site:

Hedgehogs are widespread in New Zealand and you can find them both on the South and the North Island. Their distirbution is of course limited by habitat and food availability. Me myself I found hedgehogs in Macreas Flat, Dunedin, Christchurch, Palmerston North, Auckland. A lot of studies on hedgehogs were done in the Manawatu-Wanganui region
