I wanted to get one when I was younger. And I still want one. Though, I think the pet store has been out of them for a while now...

Yes, although hedgehogs are different since they wont really get stuck on your skin. Petting a hedgehog feels a bit like a hairbrush.

I suspect that a lot of pet hedgehogs are named 'Sonic'.

having a pet hedgie is cruel

they're cute and docile, but they are not even remotely domesticated, and can never grow to trust or like you, so every single time you interact with them you're causing them stress

There is really no such thing as a fully domesticated animal, as they all exhibit behavior that is not always ideal for a human household. As long as you are treating them properly and maintain their habitat well, they will thrive. There are a lot of hedgehogs that bond with their owners and get more comfortable.

sure, in the same way that, with time, you could get comfortable with being punched in the kidneys as a wake-up call every morning

hedgehogs are solitary animals. They don't want to interact with you. they don't even want to interact with other hedgehogs, unless it's baby-making time. Whenever you snuggle with your hedgehog, it will get stressed. Whenever you hand-feed your hog, it will get fear for its life. Literally any other fad pet would be a better choice than a hedgehog if you care even a little about the well-being of your animal companions.

While they are solitary animals, that doesnt mean that they cant be fine around humans. I have an African Pygmy hedgehog and he is normally chill with laying/falling asleep on me and he will take food from my hands without stress. I would agree that a hedgehog picked out of the wild is not really a good idea, but most experts and vets will say that African Pygmy hedgehogs make good pets.
