I am not sure what country you live in, because the laws differ from country to country. Some say it is illegal to have certain animals from the wild (.i.e. undomesticated) but most will allow you some animals (im presuming hedgehogs because they are very popular in some places)if you have a permit which you pay for. The reason for this is so authorities can monitor:

+who is keeping wild animals

+the conditions they are kept in (wild animals are treated differently to domesticated animals and require different foods etc)

+wild animals can spread diseases to humans and authorities need to watch this

+monitor animal species numbers (they need to know how many are in the wild/or how many are captive)

Examples of animals needing a licence permit in South Africa are the tortoise and marmoset monkey.
