says: Hi--I am experienced with African Pygmy Hedgehogs (the sort that are kept as pets here in America), not the European variety. Hedgehogs are insectivores and are mainly nocturnal, although mine used to be out frequently during the day time. Here are some links to help you: http://hedgehogcentral.com/euro.shtml http://www.ehrg.org/ http://www.hedghogz.co.uk/hedgehogs/links.php If you have any questions about the variety here in the US (not wild, as pets) let me know! I'm a hedgie lover!!!!

says: My mom used to have hedgehogs in her back garden when she was growing up (North Yorkshire). She says they are nocturnal (large birds will eat them, that might be why), and she used to leave a bowl of milk out for them. Called them "Tippy-Lappy" because of the way they approach the bowl and then lap up the milk. As Oliver says, they hibernate for the winter if you're in a cooler climate. Wild hedghogs eat insects and vegetable/fruit items commonly found in the garden. They sell them in north america as pets and are often fed tinned cat food supplemented with insects, etc.

Hi there, don't know a lot, but here in the UK, they are preparing to hibanate at this time of the year, so he may be looking for somewhere to sleep for a little bit!

Try a bit of milk, as they do like that I believe, and yeah your dog could catch flees from it! so best they don't become friends :-)
