First off, the hedgehog is a male so naturally they do not have any eggs inside of their body. Females have the eggs, not males.

Secondly, hedgehogs are mammals and since the only two mammals on the planet which the female of the species can lay eggs are the platypus and the echidna, both of which happen to be from Australia.

Nope. Hedgehogs are mammels. They give birth to live young! :)

Hedgehogs do not lay eggs. They are placental mammals, not monotremes like platypuses and echidnas. Although the echidna is spiny, it is not a hedgehog.
