No, I've seen hedgehogs in pet stores!
I really wanted one. They're the cutest things, but their sale has been
outlawed in Oregon - not sure why.

the little hedgehogs were somewhat popular a while back-they were cute but
more of a novelty i think. they had spines but didn't shoot them-just be
careful when picking them up :)

They are rodents. Family- Hystricidae (just learned that). They are
distantly related to hedgehogs.
Beavers are rodents as well and are the only living members of the

rodents.

Not just dogs, either. I had to pull a quill out of the soft little nose
