P.S. I also believe that, like hamsters, they were originally only to be found in the British Isles. At any rate, that's where all of the HedgeHog Hospitals and Hospices are to be found (eg. "Prickly Ball HedgeHog Hospital") when you google "hedgehog hospital".

from what i understand, numerous species of wild hedgehogs are found throughout europe, africa, and central asia. the "african pygmy" hedgehog that is most commonly kept as a pet in north america is actually a hybrid breed of algerian (atelerix algirus) and the white-bellied (a. albiventris) hedgehogs of northern and central africa.
