Hedgehogs are used as croquet balls in Alice in Wonderland. However, hedgehogs are not rodents.
In the original Disney movie, the croquet balls were hedgehogs :D
In "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," croquet balls are live hedgehogs that are used as balls in the game of croquet. The Queen of Hearts insists on using live hedgehogs and flamingos as mallets in her version of the game, adding to the whimsical and nonsensical nature of Wonderland.
Alice plays a game of croquet with the Queen of Hearts. The notable feature of the game is that the balls are live flamingos and the mallets are live hedgehogs, making it a whimsical and nonsensical version of the traditional sport.

Croquet is a game played both as a recreational pastime and as a competitive sport which involves hitting wooden or plastic balls with a mallet through hoops embedded into the grass playing arena
As I remember,we don't throw balls in Wimpy Wonderland :L
The object of croquet is to be the first player to complete the course by hitting their ball through all the designated wickets in the correct sequence and finally striking the finishing stake. Players can also strategically block or displace their opponent's balls to gain an advantage.
A large wooden club used in croquet is called a mallet. It typically features a heavy, flat head and a long handle, allowing players to strike balls on the croquet lawn. Mallets come in various sizes and weights to accommodate different player preferences and skill levels. The design facilitates precision and control while playing the game.
