Hedgehogs naturally eat all manner of creatures which many gardeners despise - slugs, snails, and even worms (Although many gardeners don't mind worms and even want them because they keep the soil fertile). And they don't really cause any harm to the garden.
African Pygmy hedgehogs make excellent pets if they are properly bred, socialized, and cared for. However, faulting at any of these three points can make for an ill-tempered animal that will not make a good pet.
All other hedgehog species are not domesticated and should not be captured/kept as pets.As a hedgehog breeder, my opinion is a firm no.
As negative points -
Positive points are -
However, you also need to consider the fact that it is very hard on a hedgehog to re-home them. Hedgehogs tend to bond with their owners strongly (though not the same way a dog or cat would) and re-homing them can be very hard for them mentally and physically.
Can you provide your hedgehog with a foreverhome?
If the parents are assuming full responsibilities for the animals and their socialization, they can make a great family pet. Though I still do not like to see them go home with any young children.
Yes, but a hedgehog is not for everone

Band other hedgehogs from coming make a safe cage and make everything else secure.
dont know but it might get fat
Yeah, they might get into ur garden...
give your hedgehogs the cat food and then when you change the treat go for the worms as this is what people put out in the garden for them to eat when they visit. keep flicking back and forth between these to treats every other day and you should have baby hedgehogs in no time good luck ; )
No.
Yes.If you have a large shady garden with lots of trees like mine then definitely yes!100%.
