Hedgehogs can be social and friendly with their owners, but wary of strangers. Hedgehogs have a good sense of smell and will learn to recognise their owners scent and become comfortable with it. It all depends on how much you handle them. often hedgehogs are curled up into a spiny ball and will hiss and jump slightly when touched at first before they know who is touching them. best way to pick up a hedgehog is to slide your flat hand under the bedding that the hedgehog is on and lift them up. Usually they will then uncurl and snif at your hands, and if they know you will then become comfortable realizing your their mum/dad. As far as being cuddly, well Hedgehogs sometimes will snuggle into your sleeves or coats when your holding them, but they are prickly and can hurt if you get pricked.
