Hedgehogs are not particularly known for their speed, but they can run quickly in short bursts when necessary. Their legs are relatively short and powerful, allowing them to accelerate rapidly over short distances. Additionally, their small, compact bodies help them maintain balance and maneuverability while running. However, they typically prefer to rely on their quills for defense rather than speed to escape threats.
