Yes. Hedgehogs use scent as a way of defining people. If you have a pet hedgehog, wearing gloves will only confuse him. If you put an old, worn shirt in the cage, your hedgehog will "nest" with it and become more familiar with your scent, resulting in your hedgehog to become more friendly.

Do hedgehog spines hurt?
The only time that a hedgehogs quills can hurt is if you push your hand into them while you are petting him, or if it is rolled into a ball, and its quills are raised in defense. Also only if you are dumb enough to pet them backwards, which would be very uncomfotable for both the handlr and the hedgehog.
