A hedghehog uses its quills to defend itself. The first thing it will do is called huffing. This is when they sniff and make their quills surround its body so that nothing can get to it. The second thing it will do is called clicking. This is when they snuff so hard that it sounds like a click. When they do this, they almost bounce and they are pretty much a ball of quills. If none of this works, they will bite.
