Yes, hedgehogs' teeth do stop growing, but their dental health is important. Hedgehogs have a set of baby teeth that fall out as they mature, replaced by adult teeth.

Regular veterinary check-ups can help ensure their teeth remain healthy throughout their lives.

I got a hedgehog yestarday. I have one question. Why does he sleep in his litter box.?
He is probably doing this because he has no hiding/sleeping place, or one that isn't adequate.
Give him a hedgie bag! Hedgehogs love them. You can do this by cutting two similar squares of fabric material, big enough for your hedgie to get in and sleep comfortably. Sow three sides together, leaving one opening for them to get in and out.
Can you feed a sick hedgehog canned cat food?
You can, but only feed the most high-quality food you can find. Also, I only suggest canned food if they won't eat anything else or they have dental problems.
Otherwise, it's better to soften the hard kibble for them in water.
Why does your heart beat so many times per day?
During moderate exercise, the heart beats between 75-100 times each minute (usually faster in younger people):
(1) Because your cells need oxygen from your lungs.
(2) Because your cells need glucose from your digestive system.
(3) Because your cells need to have carbon dioxide and other waste products removed to your lungs and other organs
(4) Because your cells need to have their temperature regulated by the blood carrying heat to the skin
