Hi everyone, I’m getting a hedgehog soon and I wanted to know if it might be dangerous for my dog because of the spines.

    Hi there,

    I’m pretty sure hedgehog spines aren’t poisonous or anything like that. However, a dog can get pricked in sensitive areas like the eyes, and that’s very dangerous.

    What breed is your dog? A lot of them love to go after hedgehogs...
