Has anyone, including the ADMINISTRATOR, ever seen a real live
hedgehog? :-)
Found a TN website showing a pic. Not ugly.

Yes. They are rare, but viable. Kinda like a cross between a porcupine and a skunk, with a little raccoon thrown in for good measure.

I think I saw one at the zoo once, if that counts. Outside of that my only interaction with a hedgehog has been with the blue one everyone calls Sonic.

Actually, yes, I have. I had one as a "pet" for a couple days when I was stationed with the cavalry in Germany.
I'd gone into the field with the local combat engineer company as their medic and, that night, crashed out next to my platoon's track (M13 Armored Personnel Carrier, if you're curious). I'd laid my helmet next to me, open end up like an idjit. Next morning, I reached into the helmet and almost lost my mind. THERE WAS SOMETHING FUZZY AND MOVING IN THERE!
It was a wee hedgehog. I "adopted" it and carried it with me the rest of the exercise, but took it back home on the last day.
They are, indeed, quite cute and friendly wee critters.

Quire common in the UK, and notoriously flea-infested. Also, AMAZING when they suddenly rise on their legs and are suddenly a couple of inches (50mm) taller, and surprisingly speedy.
The classic recipe for baked hedgehog is to roll them in clay mud and bake them in the embers of the fire. When they are cooked, the mud is baked solid and you remove both the bristles and the skin when you pull off the clay. Perhaps needless to say, I have never tried this.
