Hedgehogs need exercise to stay healthy! This is the main reason why one should be added to the cage.
But hedgehogs do it for the enrichment. Their caged life is quite dull, and in the wild, they would walk miles every night in search of food, water, and shelter.
They are less likely to encounter or be seen by predators.
Some dangers to hedgehogs are predators, being run over by cars, being attacked by other hedgehogs, having to deal with enviromental temperature, along with enviromental dangers.
Hedgehogs move fast for their size but slow in comparison to larger animals. The hedgehogs round body, short legs and delicate paws are better suited for digging around and exploring their immediate area... they are not known for moving great distances unless they are under pressure to locate food or relocate their burrow.
its because they are Asian.

It depends on the individual hedgie. Several of mine like to cuddle, but some prefer to run around and explore instead.

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.
