Answer 2

They are officially "legal", but only if you can meet several requirements, namely housing, that would be difficult for even a large zoo to do. It's *highly* unlikely that the average person would be able to meet these requirements, so you might as well say they are illegal.

Yes. However, there are illegal in some states. They require a lot of care and socialization, do you research and find a reputable breeder. NEVER buy a hedgehog from a petstore!

Answer 4

Yes I myself have one they very good pets.

The answer to this can depend on the state and local laws. Some states allow them to be sold and bought within the state while others do not, but it also can come down to local laws concerning pets. Check the area where you live before having one.
